HE sALuTED THE ONLY BRAZILIAN FLAG ArLOA
SOME ALLEGED PHECFDENTs FOR
Ills ACTION.


Washington. Oct 2s-AdmiraI Stanton's ex-
PLANTATION Of why he sslutcd Admiral Melo. sent
in answer to a message Of inquiry. was made
public to-day by Secretary Herbert. 1t reads
as follows:
"Rlo Janero. Oct. 25.-Sccretary Of the Navy,
Washington.
Before anchoring salutcd flag Of Bra
I'll. twenty-one guns. Salute was returned by
Government fort After anchoring. received
visit from aide-de-camp OF Admiral Mello. fly
Saluted Brazilian Admiral anoat. Salute was
returned by same. No call received from any
Brazilian official from the shore Next day
called upon Brazilian Admiral. Visit returned.
Meo only Brazilian Admiral anoat.'
Secretary Herbert gave out Admiral Stanton $
dispatch for publication because Of an impress
sion that the President acted hastily in remov-
ing the Admiral without hearing explana-
tion from him.
Admiral Stanton's defence In the probable
court Of inquiry or court-martal proceedings is
clearly indicated in his dispatch. when he
says that he salutcd the brazilian flag "aioat.
and this statement comedies with the belief
among number Of naval officers that 1t was
in doing this that ne brought so much trouble
on himself. Inquiry at the Navy Department
alleged To be precedcnts for Admiral Stanton
action, and the theory of officers who believe
that the Admirars unfortunate salute was Justi-
fed by circumstances is given In this way:
4 commander of ii naval vessel must either
acknowledge the flag ioated by another armed
vessel of Il different nation, or else seize or at
tempt TO seize her as pirate. II Admiral
Mco had 10 authority from any recognized
Government (and the insurgents have no gov
ernmenD to display the flag flying at the peak
of his flagship, then. according to this theory
he was an unauthorized armed rover OF the
seas and should be considered and treated as
a pirate. If he had the right to float the
Brazilian Nag. then he should have been sa-
luted. 1t Is further contended in Admiral stan
toms behalf that in view of the fact that Ad-
miral Mello holds commission an officer
OF the Brazilian Navy, the American com
mander could not have done otherwise than
pay the customary courtesies to him.
one of the precedents referred to Is the action
Of Admiral Welles. OF the United states
Navy. at Cadiz Spain. In capturing a Spanish
war vessel. manned by insurgents and floating

hind the furniture to avoid being struck
by the bullets. None of the bullets took
effect, except in the furniture, however.
ON Saturday last. n warrant was OBJ
talned for Mrs. Nelson's arrest. and Il
was on this that she was arraigned to-
day. Justice Connolly admitted her To
