to Aspnwan the commander receiving in
structions as above indicated. In the mean
time the United States steamship Kansas Can
tain Brown, with the Nicaragua surveying
expedition on board, arrived at Aspinwall and
finding the virgnius In trouble offered to convey
her beyond the reach OF Spanish war vessels. Hav-
ing no special instruction in the premises he was
compelled to submit to the insolent demeanor OF
the Spanish manof-war Pzarro circumstances
concerning which have already been published.
The Wyoming, destined for Aspinwall, touched at
Kingston early this month, where Captain Davis
found the alleged blockade runner Edgar Stewart
in worse trouble than the virginius. Indignant at
the action OF the English authorities Captain Davis
demanded the release OF the Stewart and took pos
session OF her by authority from his govovernment.
1t is well understood here that while Captain
Davis Is positively instructed not TO provoke
trouble, his instructions equally positive to re-
sent any insult on the spot. The menacing OF the
Stewart after she had been taken possession OF by
the United States, will be considered suff-
cient justification on the part OF Cap
tain Davis In sinking the Spanish man
Of war; Borgia, II he can The armament Of the
Wyoming is two eeven-inch guns, four nine-inch
guns, one thrty-pounder and two twentyfour-

Boston harbor last month highly sue
cessful. Captain Davis was last year on duty az
assistant to the Executive Oflicer Of the Washing
ton Navy Yard, and Is well known In naval circles
as brave and fearless officer who win carry out
his instructions to the letter.

ing In insulting nag, after having been properly
warned by our naval officers, excites indignation
In all quarters. At the Navy Department.
1t Is regarded the grossest OF insults and expla
ha aoola al ,u no
OF State, as In the Of the Florida about which
no action has ever been taken. The determination
OF the PRESIDENT to put an immediate stop to such
| conduct was foreshadowed in these dispatches
some weeks since and more definitely on the eth
inst.
