An English ssaler Captured by an Amcrl.
can Revenue Cutter In Behrlng Sen.
The steamer Dora arrived from Behring
sen at San Francisco, and brings the first
detailed news of the capture of the Brit
ish sealer Black Diamond by the United
states revenue cutter Richard Rush. July
18th the Rush overlook the Black Dla-
mond and ordered her to heave to.
mord refused to do this. Thereupon
the commander Of the Rush or
dered the lowering of the ports and
the running out of guns, which caused
the schooner to heave to. Capt. Sheppard
aud Lieut.. Tuttle boarded The English
craft and asked for her papers. Tho
officers of the Black Diamond offered no
armed resistance but refused to deliver the
ships papers. Capt. Sheppard ut once
broke open the cabin and forced t e hinges
of the strong box and captains chest,
thereby securing the papers. A search of
the vessel disclosed lob sealskins, which
had been taken i'll Behring sea. Capt.
Sheppard placed a non-commissioned
officer from the Rush in charge of the
Black Diamond, and ordered the vessel
taken to Sitka to await further instruc-
tions. The captain of the Black Diamond
made the statement that when in Victoria
he had been ordered to pay no attention
in case he was overtaken by the Rush and
requested to heave to. He said he would
not have surren .ered if the Rush had had
an inferior force to that of his own.
On July 18th the schooner Triumph was
also boarded by Capt. Sheppard, but no
arrest was made, the skins ON board the
vessal having been captured in the Pacific
and not in Behring sea.

1nfoe americans A"Dnnu0neU ON q Barren
Island Without Provisions.
A peculiar letter has been received
ut the Treasury Department at Washing
ton from tho collector of customs
at Mobile, Ala, who writes that three
members Of the crew of the American
schooner Anna had been left on an unIn-
habited guaro island called Arenas key,
forty miles northwest from Sisal, to care
for the property of the company. The
captain brought hack from the island
fourteen laborers, and, being short Of
provisions, all that he could leave the men
was n barrel of beef, four barrels of flour,
and a peck of white peas and beans. in
an affidavit accompanying tho collectors
letter the captain says that the superin-
tendent of the company working the island
promised to send a vessel at once to bring
back the three men, but no has not lone
so, and unless assistance is at once sent to
them they will perish of starvation. The
island is out Of the track of navigation,
and, as it is utterly barren and the men
were left without a boat, unless assistance
is speedily sent to them they will die. The
collector says he does not know what the
government can do in the matter, but he
presents the facts to the, department in the
hope that some attempt will be made to
save the lives Of the three unfortunate

Capt. VIM. F. Smith, of the bark Nauti-
ius, reports at Panama that when off Cape
Berkeley, Galapago islands, a sea serpent

only on the extreme end Of the upper jaw
there was a ridge or bunch. On the head
was a name of hair. No fins were seen.
The tail was long and tapering and shaped
like that of an eel. The captain and
mate loaded two bomb guns and banged
away at him ana forhbout fifteen minutes
there was quite a circus, the serpent LASH
ing the water with his tail and running his
head out four or FIVE feet. At last he ran

The Germans Appear to bs Making Hay
for Themselves.
Political affairs at Samoa remain quiet.
A German gunboat has gone to Marshall
island to bring back the deposed king,
Malietoa, and the three chiefs with him.
The Germans say Il cy IRE bringing him
back of their own free will and not as a
result of the Berlin conference. They
also say that they will do all in their power
to restore the condition of affairs that ex-
istedhere prior to his departure, and will
favorh him us king and Tamasse as vice-king.
The Samoans are divided in their religious
belief, and it is feared the discussion mas
tend to increase the bad feeling which nj
ready exists among the nations. Some of
the high chiefs fear that religious differ
ences may be carried into the election for
king, which will be hel on Malietoa's
return, and that a split may occur among
the adherents of the Mulietoa family, of
which Mataafa is n member, ami that
thereby Tamasse may be elected king, in
which event the Germans would have us
much power MS they had two years ago.

Washington dispatch says: An English
solicitor who 10 connected With soine OF the
moncyed syndicates which are creating 20
much talk In the newspapers at the present
time explained to-day the reason why 70
much foreign capital is seeking investment
in the United States just at present.
SIN the first place." he said. this syn
dicate is not operating with English capt.
tai altogether. Money from all sections
of the continent pours into London for
the pun pose of investing in American n
terprises. The reason for it? Well, tho
truth is that there Is . widespread impress
sion throughout the money centers
of Europe that the whole continent
is drifting in the direction OF war.
This idea is growing rapidly aud
is causing a withdrawal of money
from enterprises throughout Europe. IL
explains the reason for the great industrial
depression which has prevailed for some
time and which seems to he on the Increase
rather than upon the decline. Capitalists
are looking for something which will DO
safer than European stocks when this time
shall come, aud they are sending their
money to this side of the Atlantic tn order
to lie prepared when the crash comes.
This explains the talk often heard now OF
English syndicates investing In all sorts OF
American enterprises"
1t was learned from another source that
the solicitor himself had made prepara-
tions for heavy investments for his clients.
Washington real estate was to have been
bought up in large blocks, SO the story
goes, but the discovery that the alien land
act prohibits the ownership Of land in the

A Gigantic Strike Inaugurated that Affects
Nearly 10000 Men.
The last days work for the miners and
cookers has been done IN the Connellsyille,
Penn, region for some time to come. Be-
tween 1900 aud $4,000 men have laid
down their tools and united in u demand
for better wages. The reports received at
Pittsburg from all over the region indicate
this to be the most general strike that has
ever occurred there.
The Mononguhela river miners have de-
cided to strike against the reduction in the
rate of mining in the first three pools from
3 cents to q cents per bushcl. This ac-
ton was taken to cqualize the rate III the
fourth pool. The men employed by Wall
ton u Co. have struck, and u general sus-
pension of work i'll the river mines is an
tiripated. The strike will affect 5000
miners.
Later advices say that the coke strikers
arc weakening and the strike promises to
be a failure. The men at the Youngstown,
Moorehead, and Standard works, num-
boring about 1,OOD, have returned to work.
The operators say that before the middle
of the week the works will all be in opera
ton ag in. The break has discouraged
the strikers somewhat, but they still claim
they will make the strike u success and
have oil the men out i'll a few days.
