San Francisco Firm Fails.

San Francisco, May 12-The well-es-
tablished firm of Williams, Brown &
Co., wholesale shipping and commission
merchants, is in financial difficulties.
Its liabilities are said to be 100000, but
It's assets are believed to be sufficient to
meet most of its obligations. If the
creditors will grant an extension of
time the firm hopes to resume bust
ness. The direct cause of the failure of
the firm is said to have been the fail
ure OF Australian consignees to meet
bills drawn against them for heavy
shipments of grain. A great deal of
money was lost by the firm in it's fruit
operations in the Fresno market and
in the Columbia river canneries in
which they were interested.

Fired Upon Our Flag,

New Orleans, May 12.-The American
steamer Rover, trading between here
and Honduras ports, was fired upon
twice by gunboat of the Nicaraguan
government. Solid shot was used. The
American flag was flying from her peak
at the time the shots were fired. No
previous warning was given her COM
mander of the desire of the gunboat to
overhaul her. Capt. Reed, of the Rover,
left Puerto Cortez, which port was in
possession of the insurgents, on May
6. He sailed for Omoa, seven miles dis
tant. The Lucy B., which had been
fitted up by the Nicaraguan government
as a gunboat, gave pursuit, and fired
solid shot after her. The Rover was
headed by Gen. Reyes, who demanded
her papers and afterward searched the
ship from end to end. -
