SAN FRANCISCO, July 3. The. steamer Nevadan, arriving here yesterday from New York, was covered for more than a day by a dense, cloud of dust from Mount Pclee, and for hours was compelled to sound her whistle as in a fog. It was meanwhile impossible for anybody on board tv look to windward. This was the morning of May 8 when, the city of St. Pierre -was destroyed, but the Nevadan, far out of sight, was steaming along 500 miles off Martinique in latitude 13. degrees north'longitude 56 deg. west. Two days later, far out at sea, an immense storm of dust convinced the Nevadan's commander, and all on board, that Mount Pelee had again broken out, but particulars of the disaster were, uofc-^ learned by them until reaching this port_jp_". yesterday. •
