Precedents for Action.
There are several presidents for the
use of American warships in taking home
the remains of foreign diplomatic repre-
sentatives who died in this country. In
1902 the L. s. S. Brooklyn took to Eng
land the remains of Sir Julian Paunce-
fote, the British ambassador. and in 1905
the L. S. S. Columbia took to Vera Cruz
the remains of Senior Aspiroz. the Mexi-
can minister. In both of those cases the
vessels started on their voyages from An
napolis.
