Sealing Schooners Seized by a Russian Vessel. The Crews Subjected to Indignities and Held In Prison, and Their Itoats CouSScatod— International Trouble Possible. The American bark Majestic, from PetropaulovSkl, reached Victoria, B. G., on the Slit. Aboard of her were the captains and crews of the four sealing schooners — Rosie, Olseu, Ariel and Willie McGowan, flying the British Hag, and the American schooner, C. H. White, of San Francisco. These four were scaling off Copper Island, about forty and fifty miles, during tho latter part of July, when the Russian war ship Soabraka, mounting sixteen guns and the fur company's steamer Kodiak, bearing the Governor of Bering Island, rounded them up one by one, sent the schooners to bo hold at Petropaulovski, and made the captains and crews prisoners. The former objected to tho seizures i claiming they were free men on free water, whereupon the marine pricked them with tho point of their bayonets and informed them that there was such a place as Siberia for those who spoke too loudly of freedom. Both tho British and American skippers recognized that it was no time for talking. Still they ventured to protest that they were away outside the three-mile limit, and were mot with tho astounding information from the officers of the Soabraka “Russia is sovereign over the water a thousand miles from her shores.” The captain of the Russian cruiser based his action on the ground that Russia exercised jurisdiction over all tho land and water westward of tho line of demarkation. After being taken aboard tbo Seabraka tho masters of the schooners were asked to sign a paper written in Russian and explained by the Interpreter as an acknowledgment that he had been sealing in Russian waters. The skippers pro-’ tested and wore told that those who did not sign would bo sent to Vladlvostock to bo court-martialed, and then sent to the Siberian mines. Under compulsion the captains signed and they and the crews then underwent a taste of Russian prison life, twenty-one of them being kept for days in a room 11x11 feet, with a leaky roof and a broffen floor. Tho men were finally turned out, and the Ma jestic coming that way, a contract was entered into for transportation to American or British soil, and In the evening tho prisoners were shipped away on board, no particular effort being made by the guards to detain them. The Majestic sailed at night, and tho next morning the Soabraka started out on another huullng cruise, the schooners being the game sought. IN NEW YORK HARBOR. The Yellow Flag Flies From the Moravia —Other Vessels Under Suspicion. New Yokk, Sept. 1.— The steamship Moravia, which arrived from Hamburg, on Tuesday night, having had twentytwo deaths from cholera among her passengers during tho trip, was ordered tills morning down to the lower quarantine, two miles south of Swinburne Island.

There was but one death it the first visitation, and the ladios who prepared the body of their neighbor for burial, bruised and bound bunches of bitter herbs over their mouths and nostrils to avoid contagion. In 1849 there were but two deaths. A curious phenomenon is prensented at Jerome, Howard county. There has been ao rainfall of any volume in that section tor several weeks, and the drought, was beginning to ba severely felt. Suddenly tho dry wells filled up. the springs doubled their flow, and tho earth for a square mile ind more became saturated with water, the ground in many places quite muddy. Lilly creek, a small stream usually, bo:ame swollen and overflowed its banks, ind everywhere the water oozed out of tho ground, accompanied by gas, which boils and bubbles and emits a strong odor. Jerome is located on a bluff, but tho collars of the houses are filled with water, as 1 if situated on low ground, while the gas Is present everywhere. Necessarily the people are much alarmed, fearing an explosion similar to tke one near St. Paul last rear. The supposition is that ono of tho lumerous gas wells in that vicinity has burst its casing leaving the gas to force its way to the surface as best It can.

1 CAUSE JL)R ALARM. Fhe Cholera Stricken Ship Moravia Reaches New York. Twenty-Two of Her Ptnseujjera Died During: the Passage A cross the Atlantic. New York, August 3l. —The steamship Moravia, of the Hamburg-Amerlcan line, which arrived this morning from Ilam burg, had twenty-two deaths on board luring the passage, which the ship doctor Jays were from cholerine. Twenty were thlldren and two adults. Thirteen were natives of Poland, five of Prussia, one of Austria and three of Hesse. All were hurled at sea. The first death took place August 19 and the last August 39. The steamer has been ordered down to the lower bay. The steerage passengers were carefully Inspected and were all found to be In good health except three children were ill with measles. The health officers who made the in" spectlon of the Moravia’s passengers pronounced the cause of death in the stricken i cases as true Asiatic cholera. All the i emigrants on the steamship are being re- \ moved to Hoffman’s Island this after- | noon. The vessel and cargo will lie thoroughly disinfected while lying In the lower bay. It was impossible to get any but meager facts this afternoon regarding the Moravia's condition. Dr. Jenkins was summoned from the shore when his deputy, who first went aboard of her, learned of the condition of affairs, and ho personally Interviewed the ship’s physician and officers regarding the disease aboard the ship The surgeon of the Moravia declared that the twenty-two passengers of the ship undoubtedly died of cholerine, and Dr. Jenkins Immediately ordered the steamer off shore, giving Captain Thclles, her commander, instructions to anchor off Hoffman Island and to remain there until he received further order. After the doctors left the steamer she weighed anchor and immediately returned to the -lower bay, the yellow dug, Indicating that she had contagion on board, dying from her foremasthead. It was first given out that the Moravia had a clean bill of health and that the doctors had been surprised at the clean and healthy condition of the vessel. The return of the steamer to the lower baycreated no surprise or suspicion, as It was believed that the immigrant p» mgerson board wore to be treated to <t bath at Hoffman Island, and then landed for the

fumigation of the ship and their clothing:. It was not till after noon when the facts' began to gain circulation. Then there was a panic among tho people who had Hocked down to the shore to witness the operations of the doctors on tho vessel. The story was at first discredited, but Dr. Talmagesoon confirmed it. Those who heard i t immediately hurried away from tho station.
