incident, from either a naval or political
point of view. Is regarded by ell nations
as hlstory-making, Never before has any
battle command made such long and

so many countries, and under so many
flags. And never was any naval command
received with such universal manifesto
tions OF friendly feeling, as marked the
progress OF the. American feet at every
one OF its two-score stops on the cruise
