CITY or MEXICO, Jar. 3).-An item pub lshed here thls afternoon that the Central American representatives of Nicaragua, [, Honduras and Salvador, with Costa Ricq to follow, would form an alliance with Guats- mala in the event of trouble with Mexico has caused considerable comment. Senor Castellanos, the Salva- dorian mini ster here, on being interviewed denied having any knowl- edge of the matter, and a government off, cial states that no official confirmation Of the announcement has been received.

A Storm on the Pacific.

The captain of San Francisco tug thus describes a storm on the Pacific:
 "When say that the waves ran noun tain high, am not exaRgerating the sit- uation in tho least. The tug would be poised on the crest of sea aud then be plunged down into a valley of water which seemed a milo below us. At times the moon would como out through the clouds, end in tho uncertain light the waves seemed twice as high. Tho wind was blowing a perfect hurricane, and our lee nil was under water all the time. The yAsea appeared raging above, below

 to which we dipped would dwash over the hg. It was impossible to remain aft for

THINGS DRAMATIC.

Al G. Field, king of minstrels, and his excellent company of burnt cork artists played return date at O'Brien's opera house last night and made happy large audience. Two striking features were the splendid business done by the company, which was better than at the first appear anee this season, and the way the audience enjoyed the performance. The first ap- pearance, in the earlier part of tue season, was spleudid, but the one last night was better than ever before. New and pleasing novelties have been intro duced, which add decidedly to the ensem- ble. In adding these Mir. Field has taken their performance. l he singing last night was far ahead of anything heard in tue minstrel line here in long time, md is enc of the strong features.
 "Alliddin, ,'' the spectacular burlesque and pantominle, taken from the "Arablau Nights,o went well with the audience, and was rich in scenic effects and costumes. aud was fitting finale to the evenins's performances.
 c. D. Melville introduced a juggling act, which also went well, for his work as an equllibrist was good.
 Horan, Cary and Quigley did dance, closing he first part, which brought forth considerable applause.
 Tommy Donnelly, in the finale to the first part, made a favorable impressio1 T upon the audience by the manner in which he took comedy part. He is n negro com edian of considerable merit.
 As far as MT. Field is concerned noth- ing toe good can be said. He mim ci the negro to perfection and brings out characteristics of this inferior race in manner seldom seen. It may truly be said thai he is by far the best imitator of tbe negro now on the American stage. Will WallinR, always a fsvorite vocalist with Birmingham audiences, won added laures n his rendition of the beautiful ballad, ''Baby on the Wall.' He sang Tn his usual strain and with such artistic ex- precision that an encore was due, and he got it in grand style.
 Field's minstres are all good, and de- serve large audiences wherever they ap- pear.

"THE HlCNRIETTA.n n

As play II is unique. A clever satire on the ways and means of legalzed gam blin g in stocks-the "ticker'' plays throughout an important part. The rise and fal of stocks Is made 10 point moral as well as to afford amusement, and Bronson How ards skill as a dramatist is admirably shown in the blending of imedy and serl- ous interest, which makes this story Of love most characteristic among the stage offer ings Of the times.
 Nicholas VanAlstyne is MT. George S.. Woodward role. He is an "operator' Of boundless wealth, utterly unscrupulous as to the means by which he adds to his mil lions. But there are good trails as well as bad in this magnate among bulls. His ab- solute confidence in his rascally son Nick, |, who is all the time planning the ''old mans ruin, is a touching and curious exhibition of affection for an unworthy son. Bertie is a younger son of the Wall street potentate, although somewhat de- spised by him for his lack of aptness and enthusiasm for business.
