"rHE ENSIGN"
As repeatedly announced, William
Hawotths new naval play, "The
Ensign," viii be seen at tho theatre
for the fret time on Monday, October
srd. The play has a story OF absorbing
interest, and, II what II said about II
Is true, Ia splendidly put on tho stage.
The hoto ~ n young ensign attached
TO the "SRn JacintO." 1t will be re-
mrmbcrod that the capture Of the
Confederate Commissioned by Captain
wilkes, OF the United States irigate
"San JAcinto." on the high seas al
most involved this country Ia war
with Great Britain. In tho plot Of
"rhe Ensign" Lieutcnants Allen
md Blythe, OF II. NJ. ,. Warrior, sia.
toned at Havana, were confidently
instructed by their superior oilicere to
prevent Captain wilkes from accom-.
Fishing his purpose. 70 effect this
rome plan must be devised to detain
the United States mAn.Oi-wgr. Lieu
tenant Blythe took the nearest method
and attacked the reputation of nm
American officers sweetheart under
the impression that the American
would assault him and that the
resultant quarrel would causn the de.
tention OF Captain Wilkes end his ship
By the Cuban authorities long enough
TOR the escape OF the confederate COM
missioners. The young officer collected
for the purpose n an ensign OF the
United States mau.of.waf, but through
the calm courage ~ the young sailor
the scheme failed. Driven to more
desperate strata the Britith efllcor
tears down our dag Mt the American
consulate, and, avenging an Insult 20
hi. countryl he would not resent for
himself, the ensign kills the insultor
on the spot. For this rash act the hero
Is tried by onurt.marlinl and IL SON
fenced to death. He is TO be hanged
at the yHrd-aTm OF his ship, but at the
last moment he II paTdOned by the
President OF the United States, through
the intercession OF a little child.
