AFLoAT IN THE HARBoR OF RIO.
AND NOT MELLO.
Admiral Oscar +. stanton. who was recently
relieved from command of the South Atlantic
Station and ordered home for saluting the
flag of the rebel Admiral Mello. In the bay Of
Rio de Janero. was n passenger yesterday on
the North German Lloyd steamer Spree. The
Spree reached her pier at Hobokcn about $3.50
I'm the morning. Admiral Stanton took the noon
train for New London. where he ate his Thanks
giving dinner with his family To-day he will
go to Washington 10 explain his course in
saluting Mellos flag.
The Admiral yesterday refused to discuss the
subject Of the much h-talked-about salute lie
said that 1t would be manifestly improper for
i'm to say anything about the affair until after he
had made his report to the Navy Department.
Admiral Stanton sauted the brazilian flag
afloat' when he entered the harbor of Rio de
Janero with his fleet on October 20. He was
relieved from command four days later and
ordered home He took steamer to Southamp-
ton. where he caught the Spree for this port
The Admiral said yesterday:
Il can say nothing more than has been
already published about the matter of the
salute saluted the Brazilian flag afloat, not
Mello His flag was the only Brazilian
aiioat at the time. | shall state the reasons
for my action In my report to the Secretary.
The presen: struggle In Brazil is likely to be
protracted. and will only end when both sides
are thoroughly tired out. The gunnery on
both sides Is bad. | think the Brazilians are by
nature desirous Of peace. When I was I'm Rio
there firing almost every day between the
forts and the fleet. Not much damage was
done.
THE people on shore at Rio do not take as
much interest in the struggle going on in the bay
would expect. The the war is
over the better all Of the Brazilians will be
pleased. AS to the new boats fitted out here
for PeiXoto's navy. they must look out for the
long range guns of the Aquidaban. Still with
dash and proper handling the new boats may
be effective az torpedo boats anyway"
