JOHN BULL EXCITED
Over Bcmham'S Protection of British
Subjects nj Rio.

The Pail Mall Gazette, commenting on the
application OF the captain Of the British mer-
rhantman, Nasmyth, to Admiral Benham for
protection, enabling the NaSmyth to obtain u
supply OF water in tho harbor OF Rio lie ia
neiro, says: III the commander Of the Brit
ish fleet at Rio does not propose to protect
British subjects following lawful vocauuns II
Is difficult to understand why he is there at
all
The st. James Gazette says Surely Lord
Roscbery does not acquicScc IN the doctrine
that the sole right OF Intervention belongs to
the United States. That British sailors
should be compelled to seek the protection
of Admiral Benham is humiliatng in the cN-
treme.
The Globe says: admiral Benham Is
doubtless at liberty to bully the insurgents
as much as he pIeases. But that is quite u
different thing from Offering most inlurl-
Gus insult to the British navy Unless the
story of his putting the Nasmyth under the
protection of the American flag is untrue 1t
should be the duty of the British Government
to demand an immediate apology from tue
Government OF the United States for the
extraordinary conduct of its officer.
