OUR FLAG FIRED ON.
ANOTHER OUTRAGE PBRPBTRATBD ON
AMERICAN COMMERCE.
A Dominican War Vessel Fires a Shot at the
Schooner Carrie A. Buckham While Outside
Of Their Jurisdiction and on the High
Seas-OuBrippsd IN Chase.

NEW YORK, April 10.-Csptain Stubbs,
of the schoon + Carrie A. BuckTam, which
arrived to-day from st. Domingo City, re-
ports that on March 81, when off Saona
Island, at about noon, he sighted vessel
steaming toward his vessel from the land,
then distant six or eight miles. The craft
proved TO be q Dominican war vessel. She
laid her course to intercept the Bucknam,
but could not do so owing to the strong
breeze then prevailing, and fell astern half
or three-qusrters of mile.
When nearly 10 the schooner's wake,
much to the surprise of the crew, she fired
a shot which struck the water only few
yaIds from the Bucknam's stern. She
then gave chase, but with good strong
breeze the schooner soon distanced her.
After keeping up the chase for about two
hours, she gave it up and putting about
steamed for the land.
She was a low rakish three-masted
steamer of about 500 tons burthen appar-
emily of French OF Spanish build. Her
decks were crowded with men. What
her errand was can only be cODjectured
M the Bucknam WAS far outside of their
Jurisdiction and on the high seas where
they could have no legitimate right to over
haut her. The American flag was flying
at the schooner's peak all the time, it hav-
Jog been hOisted as soon az the steamer
was made out TO be a war vessel.
Oapt. Stubs says nothing was heard by
the Bucknam's crew Of the vessel or of the
rebellion at st. Domingo City. The better
class of people there hesitate TO speak their
minds even to foreigners They no doubt
are afraid of compromising themselves.

Sir Charles Continues His Speech Before
the Commission.
LONDON, April 10.-The Parnell Com
mission was sgsin in session to-day to heaI
the arguments of counsel.
Sir Charles Russell recOunted the story
of enforced Irish emn igration TO America,
of the growth of Fenianism in that cOun-
try, and of its development into move
ment to obtain justice for Ireland by
means of legal. He said it was the justif-
able boast of Parnell and Davitt that they
bad taught Irish Americans to combine
and assist them in their efforts within the
law.
He traced the history of the National
League in America and declared that it
proved conclusively that the organization
was in DO way implicated in crime. The
National League, he said, had been founded
TO maintain the right of the Irish people
to make in thoir own National Assembly
laws relating 70 Ireland. This was not q
novel claim. There was no period in the
history of Ireland in which the people OF
the Irish race in that greater Ireland be-
yond the seas were not willing to accept
the natural right of government and live
in amity with the rest of the Empire.
He declared that Mr.. Parnell had never
been associated with secret society; had
never met Patrick Ford, and had never
been implicated, directly or indirectly,
with any conspiracy whatsoever. Mr..
Davitt, although a friend of FOrd's, had
repeatedly demonstrated against the adop-
ton of a policy of violence, and had never
failed to denounce outrages and the melting
of the people to commit such crimes.

LORD LONsDALE RETURNS.
Some of His Remarkable Experiences In
the North.

PORT ANGELES, N. W. T., April 10
The fishing schooner Cumberland, Capt.
Elliott, which arrived here yesterday after
a stormy passage of thirty -four days, from
KOdiack leland, Alaska, brings news of
Lord Lonsdale, who started upwards of 3
year ago on trip overland TO the North
Pole. Lord Lons6ale and number of
Esquimaux and Indian guides reached Ko-
diack about the middle of February in
fsmished and exhausted condition. They
came from sn isolated mission near the
mouth of the Kuskewin River, which emp
ties into the Bristol Bay, and suffered
many hardships and privations during
the journey of months duration
across the Alaskan Peninsula.
Lord LOnsdale was severely injured few
days after leaving the mission. While in
the lead of his party he clipped and fell
into a crevasse. His left shoulder was 80
bruised that the arm was rendered useless
and his hip wss all but dislOcated, which
incapacitated him from travel on foot.
He WAS placed on a sled, and in this con-
ditiOn transported to Kodisck. The great
stretch Of territory between the mission
and the island was covered with several
feet of snow. The terrific blizzard that
prevailed caught up the light particles in
clouds, obitersting all tracks and land
marks familiar 10 the guides and making
drifts through which it was next to i'm.
possible to force q passage. q
On February the party reached the
peninsula, Lord LOnsdale was somewhat
improved by the rest aud they proceeded 10
KOdiack Just before reaching Cooks Inlet
two Of the Aleut guides died and were
buried in the snow. The party was in the
last stsge of fatigue when they reached
KodiacS, and bad not food and shelter been
found Lord LoDsdale would have died. He
remained st KOdisck week and perhaps
longer. He stated positively, however, that
the party had enough of arctic explorations
and would return to England soon.
