STANTONS BLUNDER.
NAVAL OFFICERS STILL WONDERING
WHY HE DID IT.

New York, Oct. 26.--The Her
aid s correspondent at Washing
ton telegraphs; A days reflection
on the latest Brazilian incident
has not afforded a single idea to
officials here which can be used
as an excuse for Rear Admiral
Stanton's strange blunder in
saluting the commanding officer
of the insurgent feet. The more
officials think of it the more in
explicable his conduct appears.
The blunder is ali the more re-
markable from the fact that the
Newark has bright set of off
GERS, several CT whom have taken
a special course in international
law, and it is assumed, as mat
ter of course, that some of them
must have called the Admiral S
attention to his mistake. But
whether such advice was given
or not the department holds him
alone responsible and will con-
tinue to do so until some more
satisfactory explanation than
anything yet offered is given.
1 learn the following particu-
lars:
On entering the harbor of Rio
the Newark fired twenty-one
guns in honor of the Brazilian
flag flying from the fort. The
fort promptly returned the salute,
and Acting Rear Admiral Stanton
then fired salute of fifteen guns
in honor of the Admiral COM
handing the revolutionary forces.
Such a salute is always custom
airy when a foreign vessel enters
a narbor and finds other vessels
of the country visited in the
port. The salute to the senior
naval commander present always
follows the salute fired in honor
of the country; but In this case
Brazil has no naval vessels in
Rio harbor.
The insurgent ships were in no
sense to considered in the light
of Brazilian vessels, and the pro-
per thing for acting Rear-Ad-
miral Stanton to have done was
simply to end firing with the
national salute responded to by
the loyal forts.
Since the action of the Presi-
dent in ordering Stanton's de-
tachment SecretariesGresham and
Herbert have verbally informed
Mendonca that the Pre-
sident regrets the error made by
acting Rear-Admiral Stanton and
that the amende honorable will,
in due course. be made.
The follawing is from the
Hsrald's correspondent at Monte

dent N Rio Janeiro sends word
that the report that Rear Admiral |

Late Foreign News

The Australia arrived this
morning and brought to this
port large number of passen-
gers and not very important
budget of news. The American
Minister to Hawaii Mr.. A Willis,
arrived together with his wife
and child, The minister has
taken up his residence at the
Snow Cottage belonging to the
Hawaiian Hotel, and formerly
occupied by Nr. Blount and
family. There are no new deve-
lopments in regard to Hawaii. In
fact the American press is look
ing anxiously towards Hawaii for
news. Minister Willis carries
all instructions with him neces-
sary to finally settle the Hawa-
ian question.
In the Senate the opponents to
Cleveland on the Silver bill have
by this time suffered a significant
defeat. President Cleveland has
shown that he holds the demo-
cratic party in his hands, and he
has simply routed the silver men.
The victory of Cleveland is very
significant and only confirms our
often asserted opinion that he
and his supporters virtually con-
troll the United States in spite of
barking and whining of such
traitorous papers as the Sun and
other subsidized annexation
howlers.
Sir Thos. Hesketh who married
3 daughter of Mr.. Sharon is in
San Francisco looking after the
large Inheritance of his wife.
From Brazil there is nothing
very startling, except the recall
by the home, government of Ad-
miral Stanton. His temporary
relief from his important station
on account of his indiscreet med
ding with local politics is very
characteristic. The recall of Ad-
rniral Skerrett at the same time
seems to indicate the firm atti-
tude in regard to foreign policy
of the present American admins
tration.
In Europe the reception of and
enthusiasm displayed over the
Russian Naval officers in
in France is the all absorbing |
topic. There is no doubt as to |
the firm alliance of the two Great |
powers. and the meaning of such
alliance is extremely dangerous
to the peace of Europe. A report |
which hardly deserves to be cre-
dited has it that Italy is anxious
for war. and would like to attack |
France at the first opportunity. |
Those familiar with the tempera-
Inent and policy of King Umberto
we'll know, though. that he would
oppose such a step at all hazards.

The Steyens-W ilne-Dole
Combination.

| was to day summary renewed OF
his command by Secretary of the
/ Navy Herbert and ordered home.
The Commodore's offense was in
saluting Admiral Mello, the
1 leader of the Brazilian insurgents
who with his squadron is holding
Rio in blockade. The belliger-
ents are not recognized by this
Government, and Commodore
! Stanton's action as it IS construed
here was-sn sense the recognl-
ton of them as a power, and
could not fail to give offense to
the Peixoto Government, with
which this Government holds
friendly relations.
The Navy Department had no
official knowledge Of Commander
Stanons's action until to cay and
the Seer tary Immediately cabled
to Rio for full report of the
proceedings.
A cablegram from Berlin
stating that the American Com
modore and Admiral Mello had
exchanged salutes was printed
to-day, but in the absence of
official reports from the acting
Rear Admiral it was thought at
first that no serious indiscretion
had been committed. Secretary
Herbert would not dicuss his
order further than to say that
Commodore Stanton has been
relieved of command for what is
regarded as gross violation of
the rules of the navy.
CONFERRED WITH CLEVELAND.
Before Secretary Herbert cabled
to Commander Stanton to relinquish
command of the fleet to Captain
Picking of the Charleston, the next
officer in rank, he had long con-
ference with President Cleveland
and Secretary Gresham, and this led
to the report that the Brazilian
Government fild a protest with
the State Department through
Minister Mendonca. Secretary
Gresham would neither deny nor
admit that the Peixoto Government
had formally expressed its displea.
sure. He said the matter is in the
hands of the Secretary of the Navy
and he could not make any state
ment.
Minister Mendonca said that as |
the diplomatic representative of |
Brazil be could make no comment |
on Commander Stantion's action. |
Secretary Herbert was inclined TO |
discredit the cablegram from Ber- |
lin when it was first shown him. |
Commodore Ramsay and other high
officials at the Department were
reluctant to believe that Commodore
Stanton. who has seen long years
of service and has brilliant re-
cord, could blunder so seriously.
A number of cablegrams were
sent to Rio after the conference
between the President and Secre-
taries Gresham and Herbert, and
the replies received, judging from
the summary removal Of Comodore
Stanton from command, must have
left little room for doubt as to the
serious character of bis action.
