WANT PROTECTION.
Mello Is Not Oyer-Particular in
His Bombardment.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 23.-The following
is dispatch received by the state de-
partment today:
Rio, Dec. 22.-To Secretary of State,
Washington: American masters each
OF them hold Brazilian Pacific cock
permit. The docks specified are con-
tIguous points. Protection from shore
fire promised by government. Instruct
Picking to anchor off that point for
convenience until question equitably
settled. Insurgents make lines of fire
anywhere to suit their purpose, thereby
indefinitely blocking neutral commerce
without previous notice. Towns.
Mr.. Towns is the United States ex-
consul general to Brazil. His dispatch
is construed to indicate that the regular
government of Brazil has granted a
permit to shipping TO land and receive
cargoes at certain wharves lying near
each other, and that our consul general
want our naval forces to see that Mello
and De Gamma respect these permits
and do not fire along these lines. 1t is
not regarded as likely the instructions
asked will be given. The point which
the consul general urges is the same as
that contained in the petition of
American vessel masters IN Rio
received several days ago. The
cablegram was transmitted to the navy
department by the state department for
its instruction. and without any request
to comply with the suggestions. The
navy department is awaiting advices
from Capt. Picking. With discretion
vested in Capt. Picking. and with
United States minister on the ground,
no action will be taken on the repre-
sensations of the consul general untiT
our other representatives are heard
from. 1t will be seen that the dispatch
is complaint against the insurgents
and request to intervene against them
in behalf Of neutral commerce. The
governments fire is from the shore,
and it has promised protection for the
continuous line of docks from its fire.
But Mello's forces are firing without
regard to security on the docks. Ii
seems to be considered doubtful in the
state department whether the govern
ment would be warranted in intervening
to prevent the insurgents from liking
their line of fire. 1t is questionable
whether the rights of neutral commerce
include a right to have landing place
kept safe in besieged city.
