C.) special says: Captain Cox, of the schooner Sapphire, just arrived from Behring Sea, gives these particulars of the sealing cruise: “On July 4 the Sapphos entered the dosed ocean, and made the ftret catch of seals five days afterward. On July as the Annie C. Moore was spoken, with six hundred skins ahArd. and all well. On the 30th the Sapphire came in sight of the Maggie Mac, and Captain Dodd informed hint that on the 39th Uve Maggie Mao had been boarded by Lieutenant Tuttle, of the cutter Rush, who told him of the capture of the Black Diamond and the Minuie, and of the letter’s being towed to Onnataska on the 30th and laid up there. Captain Dodd’s assurance that he had captured his seals at Copper Island, on the other side, seemed to satisfy Lieutenant Tuttle and ho left. The Lieutenant, pointing to two specks in the distance as he was descending the gang- way, remarked to Dodd tllai they were the schooners Mollie Adams and Mary Bilan which he was going to “nip in the net.” The . Maggie Mao then got out of reach of the Rush as soon as possible, having seen the outter standing down on the seemingly unsus- ' pecting schooners. Captain Cox says that while on board the Maggie Mac. a schooner reported to them that she had sighted the Penelope in tow of the Rush heading for Ouualaska. On the morning of the 30th the United States cutter Bear was sighted, but the Sapphire again escaped capture. On the 30th >1! May the 6apphire proceeded lo Kynyanh Here several Indians showed symptoms of sickness long before Captain Cox discovered the disease to be similar to that of yellow fever and he at once put to sea. On the way north the whole of the crew, himself included, was attacked by the fever, but no deaths resulted. « Hold* E STARRY FLAG. tritish inmil were watfBBt ■ Spangled The Holder ot the Emblem which le spired the Grand National Anthem Kernses to Allow It to be U»ed at tho Coming Celebration at the Bombardmeat at Fort Hetlenry. Bshiaionx, Md., Aug. a.—There is much indignation felt in this city among the promoters of the big display next month against Mr. Eben Appleton, of No. Tl Bast Fifty-fourth street, New York. Mr. Appleton is the possessor of the flat; whioh floated over Fort McHenry in September, 1914, when tho British invaders bombarded the fort and w? ignominiously driven from the wat| the Chesapeake. It is the same f inspired Francis Scott Key’s burst of patriotism “The Star-Spangli Banner.” as he canght sight of it through the morning mist from the deokof a British vessel on which he was detained a prisoner, stilt waving over the fort. . On September 13 next there brill be a grand celebration here of the repulse of the British. There will he a nmnic bombardment and defense of fne fort, in which several United States war-ships will bo engaged. The celebration, it was thought, would not be oomplete without the presence of the original flag, but the most potent Influences fall to Induce Mr. Appleton to allow it to oome to Baltimore. There Is strong talk now of sailing' the attention of the Secretary of War to the matter. It is claimed that Appleton has no right to the flag; that it waa made by the ladles of Baltimore and presented to Fort McHenry as the garrison flag, and, therefore, properly belongs to the United-States Government. It oame into Appleton’s hands through a line of descent from Colonel George Ar mis tend, who commanded at Fort McHenry during the bombardment. After the conflict Colonel Armlstead took personal possession of the flag.
