NO CRISIS AT HLUEFIELDS,
Minister COrrea's Comment on Ge
EstfndG's Refrigeration and Attitud.

Minister COrrea's Comment on Gen.
EstfadG's Resignation and Attitude.
Minister Correa of Nicaragua. when ask
ed today concerning the report of the
forced resignation of Gen. Estrada in COM
mand at Bluefieds, and the probability
that this would bring a revolt headed
by Estrada, said this referred back to diff
ferences which arose while he was in Mic
aragua, and which We're amicabIy settled
at the time after personal conference be-
tween him and Gen. Estrada. The min
lister dismisses the suggestion that Estrada
will head a revolution, and says the latter
is thoroughly loyal to the Zelaya govern
ment, and that in any event there is an in
significant military force and no arms in
the Bluefields district. The State Depart
ment tt kes the same view, that there is
nothing to indicate another crisis at Blue
fields.
1t app .rs that affairs in that locality
have beei' quite spirited of late Gen. Es-
trada wa. chosen to take command at
Bluefields ecause he Is one of the chief
military me. of the country. and it
hoped he wo,.f settle the trouble growing
out of the double assessment against GER
tain American citizens residing there. But
the assessment proceeded, and the Nicar-
aqua authorities felt that Gen. Estrada
should have restrained his subordinate.
Col. Torres, in the radical measures adopt
Estrada concerning his course. He is a
blunt old soldier, and he took umbrage at
this. He therefore signed blank sheet of
paper. and sent 1t by his brother to the
capital, there to be filled in as resgna-
ton. Learning of this President Zelaya
took steps to overcome Gen. Estrada's
wounded feeling. Minister Correa happen
ed to be at the capital and was asked to
visit Estrada. The visit was made. and
Mr.. Correa came away with assurances
from Gen. Estrada that the resignation
would not be urged He also told Gen. Es-
trada that in case it was presented by the
brother, President Zelaya would refuse to
accept it. The most amicable feeling was
brought about as a result Of the confer
ence, and there has been no suggestion
since then that Gen. Estrada would be
forced to resign.
There is no idea that revolt could be
started at Bluefields with any chance of
success, owing to the precautions which
have been taken there. The former revo-
lutionary leader, Gen. Refs, has moved to
Colombia, where he is conducting banana
plantation. He had at Buefields about
700 of the latest pattern of Mauser rifles
and two rapid-tre field guns, sent to him
from the United States, when he was civil
governor of Bluefeds and was preparing
to repulse any movement from Costa Rica.
But after his removal to Colombia the Mic
araguan government took care that this
supply of Mauser- rifles and field guns
should be removed from Bluefields far into
the interior, SO that there now no arms
available there The military force has
also been scattered.

The Majority of the People in New
York State.
Col. ]. L. Cunningham of New York who
Is stopping at Chamberlin's, says that the
opposition to the adminfstra tion's policy Of
expansion does not amount to anything in
New York. The great majority of the pco-
pie in the state fully approve of President
McKinley's policy If Mr. Reed should at
ton, he says. he could get no following in
New York, and he would simply cease to
be a figure in politics Col. Cunningham
Saws that Croker has come out for Bryan
because there was nothing else for him to
do
Croker he says "knows that no dem
ocrat can be elected in 1860, and that he
might as well be for Bryan as for anybody,
and retain his hold in the democratic
organiza ton. Nearly all the democrats in
the regular democratic organization are for
Bryan The number of those who want to
fight him is very small-those who are very
those in the organization of the party do
not trouble themselves seriously about the
money question, and are for Bryan. Croker
could not lead them into opposition to Bry
an, and since there Is no danger of a dem
ocrat being elected, Croker has concluded
You really think majority of the New
York democrats are for Bryan?" was
asked.
There is not doubt about it. The rank
ard file are for Bryan, almost to a man.
1t is only some of the bigger men of the
party who, earnestly advocating the gold
standard, and not wanting to run the risk
of change from present conditions, are
anti-Bryan. The masses of the democrats
are Bryanites."

AVOIDING OVERT ACTS.
Gen. Jiminez Careful Not to Violate
the Neutrality Laws.

1t is said that if the reports from Havana
are correct that Gen. Jiminez will leave
Cuba in private capacity, accompanied by
one or two friends, unarmed and without
apparent purpose to engage in hostile
demonstration against San Domingo, it will
be exceedingly difficult to bring the party
within the operation of the United States
neutrality laws. These laws deal with overt
acts, and, according to the reports from
Cuba, Gen. Jiminez is carefully shaping
his movements so as to avoid overt acts
and thus keep himself outside the pale of
the American laws.

Ordinarily they stay in town, as do so many others who love each other too well to care to be parted all the week.
 Everything is cheap in New York, and yet everything costs money. A wom- an buys cloth for gown as cheaply as she can anywhere in the world; but she is obliged to pay handsomely for its making; her associates are particular about "cut and fit." A young man even in modest circumstances will have three summer suits, as many winter ones and odds and ends in year; and if he is in business where his appearance counts, as in the case of a lawyer, he pays from $50 to $80 per suit. It would be false economy not to do so. If were out of job and looking for another in New York; should pay high prices for clothing as a matter of business.
 A friend of mine has a son who is just beginning in the law. He has been em- ployed to do odds and ends in a big law office for $12 q week, and, having thus obtained some experience, was think ing of starting for himself. The father went with his son to look at some of fees, and hesitated between q suite costing $500 and one costing $90o. An old lawyer acquaintance whose advice he asked said to him: You're well to do and want to give the lad good start. l should advise you to take the more expensive offices. Of course he won't begin to make enough to pay his rent Che first year, but when he does get business it will be of a higher class; he can charge more, too, being in better suite"
 It was the wisdom of the serpent; you pay more and in the end get more. I've no doubt-in fact, am sure-that the advice was good. But it makes the out look for the poor country boy who thinks of coming to the city and lending for himself look rather dubious. Many of them do it and succeed, but it's get ting a little harder every year.
