Fighting in Nicaragua.

San Francisco, Cal, April 24.-The Pa
cific mail steamer San Jose arrived yes
terday from Panama. The steamer failed
to touch at Corinto on account OF the
trouble in Nicaragua, the port being
closed to all vessels Reports reached
the steamer that the revolutionary party
had met reverses. The United States
steamship Alert is stationed at Corinto
and four of her crew, two steamers and
two marines were passengers on the San
jose They had been paroled on sick
leave. In order to reach the San Jose
they were obliged to make their way tc
La Libertad, in Salvador. The sailors
said that there was a great deal of fight
ing going on in Nicaragua, and that nc
one seemed to know when her ports were
likely to be reopened.

SCATTERED WITH FLOWERS.
Summer Frock So Fine 1t Resembles
Fabric of Moonbeams.


There are some new materials to be
found at present which almost eclipse the
petals of the blossoms from which they
are copied. For instance, I saw So
called gauze de printemps so beautiful
that it seemed spun from moonbeams.
The ground is of an indescribable shade
of palest silvery gray interviewer with
the slightest suspicion Of silver threads,
and highly embroidered with clusters of
spring fowerets done In slender floss silk,
which give no sign of having been touch
ed by human fingers. A gown made of
this gauze was draped deity over slip
of shell-pink sole glace fringed out at the
bottom In imitation of monster carna-
ton, and was finished off at the neck,
wrists and the waist by corresponding
ruches of extreme fluffiness. The hat
built to go with this costume was of
drawn pink gauze, covered with shower
of white and pale lilac violets, knots of
which were also attached to the corsage.
Another and nearly as pretty stuff Is
the sole Casino, a very brilliant and re-
markably shimmering silk, somewhat
more consistent than the ordinary taffeta
glace and adorned with moirures in
color contrasting with the ground of the
material.

A Crisis Imminent,


London, April 24.-The Morning Posts
Paris correspondent hints at the begin
ming of a revolutionary era.
The Paris correspondent of the Daily
News telegraphs that the crisis is the
most acute of any that has prevailed
since 1872
The Bourgeois cabinet had already pro-
vided for an official reception and now
there is some anxiety for French prestige
if there should be no government to re-
ceive Russias protege. Hence there is a
great desire to form a cabinet rapidly.
President Faure has suggested that NJ.
Bourgeois and M. Sarrien try to form a
coalition ministry.
NJ. Peytral and M. Poincare, whom the
president consulted, have refused to e.
tempt to construct cabinet. Runners
and conjectures abound. Statesmen who
were present at the last cabinet council
expressed the opinion in conversation
with the correspondent of the Daily News
that the crisis would not be ended until
the national assembly should meet.
