MANY PRECEDENTS CITED.
u. 3. Has Figured In several Cases
Where Flag snlut~ Was Dema n ed !.

WASHINGTON. April l6.-Several prec-
edents were pointed out here tonight in
substantiation of the view expressed by
the Navy Department that in event OF a
salute from one of the Mexican Federal
gunboats or the land defences OF Tampico
to the American flag the salute should be
acknowledged BY return salute. gun for
gun
One OF the instances cited by the navy
officials was in the case Of NJ. Dillon, the
Consul OF the French Empire at San
Francisco in 1854 The offence against
the French Government came In this in
stance from the United States. A sub
pGna duces tecum had been served upon
NJ. Dillon to which. In his capacity as a
diplomatic representative of Frence, he
declined to appear. The French Minister
at Washington took up the case and in
sisted that the service upon tine French
Consul involved a gross dsrespect to
France. The negotiations looking to
reparation were conducted by Secretary
of state Marshall and the affair was COM
promised by an agreement that France
would accept as a sufficient satisfaction

In demanding a salute OF the American
colors in reparation for the insult Of
