BREAKING A BLOCKADE
Rights of American Merchantmen
Maintained.
BRAZILIAN REBELS HUMBLED
Had Expected to Hold Up Commerce
in the Harbor Of Rio de Janeiro.
Benham's Vigorous Action.
BY WILLIAM e. CURTIS.


Written for The Star and the Chicago Record
Herald.
The coming Of Rear Admiral Willard H.
Brownson to assume charge of the bureau
Of navigation at the Navy Department re-
calls to those who keep naval history in
mind the battle OF Enchadas," which oc-
CURED in the harbor of Rio de Janeiro on
the 10th Of January, 1894. At that time the
naval forces Of Brazil were in rebellion
against the executive authority of the re-
public over some differences which 1t would
take too long to explain, and the fleet lay
anchored of the city of Rio, occasionally
exchanging shots with the government
forces on land. The port was blockaded.
The bay was filled with the ships of several
nations loaded with cargoes which they
were not permitted to discharge, Com
merce between Rio and the rest Of the
world was completely suspended, and the
owners Of the merchant ships were suffer-
Ing heavy losses as well as serious embar-
rassment because OF the detention. There
was also formidable fleet Of men-of-war
from England. France, Germany, Italy and
the United States lying at anchor up the
bay idly awaiting developments
This situation had been tolerated for more
than six months, when the late Admiral
A. E. X. Benham Of the United States
Navy arrived to take command of the
American squadron. which consisted of the
cruisers New York, San Francisco, Charles
ton and Newark and the gunboats Detroit
and Yantic- His flag had been floating
from the topmast of the San Francisco but
two days, when something began to happen.
He took In the situation at a glance and
realized that he had a duty to perform.
Those who knew Admiral Benham's char
acter and courage, his conscientious devo-
ton to duty, his cool head, rare judgment
and his fearless nature need not be told
that he acted promptly. He sent for the
masters of four American banks that had
been lying anchored fcS six months or so
In the little bay of Enchadas, in the harbor
of Rio, waiting for permission to discharge
their cargoes of provisions and flour, and
told them to put their complaints in writing,
so that he could have something to act
upon. They were all Baltimore ships, be-
longing to the big fleet that sails up and
down the east coast Of America carrying
flour and provisions to Brazil and bringing
back coffee and hides. Two Of them-Capt.
Kiehne of the Julia Rollins and Capt.
Robertson of the Agate-complained that
they had been fired upon by the insurgent
ships while the United States flag was float
ing from their masts.

Precedent Established.

Everybody in the American squadron ex-
pected a fight, and the admiral, on the San
Francisco, followed by the New York.
Charleston, Newark and the little Yantic,
came slowly up the bay with their decks
cleared for action and their men at the
guns, ready for whatever might happen.
1t was a very critical situation, and every
body realized it-Benham most Of all, for
he was acting upon his own responsibility,
without instructions from his government.
and without even notifying the Navy De-
partment at Washington of his Intentions.
But his conduct was applauded by the
whole world. There was no more fnterfer-
ence with the merchant ships Of any nation.
Half an hour after the incident was over the
masters Of the merchant fleet under block
ade were applying to the American admi-
raj for permission to go to the docks. He
told them they could do SO II they pleased;
it was none of his business. He said he
was there to look after American ships
only. but he broke the blockade and the
revolution collapsed soon after.

GOOD COMPANY

Young men are often at a loss to know the best manner of spend ing their leisure hours. A few suggestions on this point may be of service. "Evil communications corrupt good manners" and in like manner good associations ex- ert a most beneficial influence.
 The society of a refined and in- telligent lady should be desired. If you have a true woman for a friend, you have in her treasure indeed. Seek her society when ever practicable, not necessarily as lover, but as an earnest friend and companion. No matter if her conversation does not sparkle with wit, or not exhibit profound cul- ture and erudition. No matter if you are acquainted with all her home amusements and know "all her songs by heart" In her presence you will lose all relish for vicious pleasures and receive mental and moral improvement.
