have seen the despatch cay IL is to the follow

Admiral Bsnham. finding that Admiral Da
CANA persisted in feckless firing that en-
dangered the safety Of American merchant
vessels. entered protest. Ia Cana paid no
heed to this, and yesterday Benham sought to
warn the insurgent Admiral by clearing his
decks for action. When la Cana refused to
take this hint Benham fred several shots
across the bow OF Ia Gama's naRship This
had an immediate and salutary effect. and the
matter ended at that point SO Tar as Admiral
Tho American squadron consisting OF the
cruiser New York. the tintst ship In the navy:
the cruisers Detroit, Newark, Charleston. and
overwhelmingly superior to anything that Da
Cana has to bring against them;
regarded ms VI such importance that Secretary
Herbert laid the matter before PRESIDENT
Cleveland at an early hour this morning and
the two discussed the situation until the Cab
met met at II o'clock. The questions pre-;
press dispatches from RIO were also carefully
read in the hope that they would throw some
light on the aspect OF affairs ,u
bert declined to make. public any Information
cent by Admiral Beuham. He said, however,
concerning the reported surrender OF ia
CANA to Benham. but II anything additional
came in from Rio he would make It public
provided It had no political bearing.
The course OF the American Admiral finds
warm endorsement In official circles. An OIL
ca OF prominence said that Admiral Benham
had n perfect right TO interfere with Da Gama's
movements when they became menace to
the interests OF American vessels. The insur-
gents. he said had not been recognized as
beligerents by the United states or any other
nation.
They had no right to establish a. blockade
hut they had done So Yet In establishing II
they took no means to enforce IT, by giving
warning to incoming vessels. He believed
Benham had done right, and that he would he
endorsed by the Administration for stopping
the arrogance OF Ia CANA
Those who know Admiral Benham say he Ia
n gallant officer, ever ready to resent an in
suit to the flag. but exceedingly conservative,
and not likely 70 do anything without consid-
erinc Il carefully. besides, he had the exam
pie OF Admiral stanton before him. and that
was enough to make him doubly discreet
II is the general opinion that Admiral Ben
ham had ample grounds for bringing la Cana
to q sense Of the dignity Of the United States
and its ability to take care OF the interests OF
it's citizens.
