Something of a Stir In Diplomatic
= Circles Over the Insult Offered
to Brazil.

.. WASHINGTON, Oct. 25.-A cablegram
from Berlin printed this morning stated
that the Nord Deutsche Zeituug had re-
Ceived dispatch from Rio Janeiro to the
effect that the American naval commander
exchanged visits and salutes with Admiral
de Mello of the insurgent fleet Secretary
Herbert was loath to believe the story.
and expressed grave doubts as to the cor
rectness of the report. If Admiral STAN
ton had merely exchanged an ordinary un-
official visit on business matters with
Admiral de Mello, the Secretary would
not have been surprised, nor probably
would he have taken any further notice of
IT, as it is said at the Navy Department
that this would not be improper. But the
Secretary saw at once the serious and un-
fortunate nature Of the action reported TO
have been taken by Admiral Stanton, and
how II might be construed by the lawful
Government of Brazil. He therefore lost
no time in promptly cabling to Rio
Janeiro for all the facts in the case,
and he received q reply from Ad-
miral Stanton. stating that the officer
had saluted the flag Of Admiral Mello,
commanding the iusuTgent feet. The sa-
lutte was unauthorized by any instructions
the admiral had received. II was. in fact,
an uniriendly act toward afriendiy power,
and the Secretary of the Navy. after con-
sulting with the President and the Secre-
tary OF State. Issued an order detaching
Admiral Stanton from the command of his
squadron and turning it over to Captain
Picking of the Charleston, who is the next
officer in rank.
~ Secretary Herbert expressed surprise
that an officer Of Admiral Stanton's expe-
rience and standing should commit sucn
blunder. and his prompt action was taken
with the purpose of announcing 10 the
world that the United States Government
had taken no steps TO refuse recognition
TO the legally constituted Brazilian Gov
eminent.

time, from the tone of the letters,
and kilograms from his mother in Wash

heard from the missing woman and that
something was wrong. Sleeplessness and
anxiety so proved on his mind that yester-
day, in the Press Club rooms, he suffered
a paralytic stroke, rendering him speech
