I Admiral- Stanton’s service

Mostly on Land.

Believed That He Will Have Some
Reasonable Excuse to Ofl’er—Two
Former Instructors in Internation-

Ip'al Law on Board With Stanton.

’WASBINGTONL Oct. 27.-—Admiral' Stan-

ton’s blunder has been made still more in- '

explicable by the perusal of the roster on
the Neward, his flagship, which shOWed
that at least two men of standing on board-
are well acquainted with the intricacies of'
international law and presumably knew
that the salute to the rebel fleet was an
affront to the regular government ' of'

Believed That- He Can Explain.
This knowledge seems to confirm the

almost general belief at the navy depart-

m‘lt that Admiral .Stanton' has some

' reasonable explanation to Offer for his un-

fortunate action".

[One of the officers who is known to have
some acquaintance with Observances con-
nected with courtesies- due one nation from
another while they are on terms of mutual
friendship, is Captain Silas Terry, the
commander of the Newark; the other is
Lieut. Underwood, of that vessel, who was
until recently an instructor. in inter-
national law at the Naval academy.

Instructor of International Law.

Captain Terry was On duty in Washing-
ton for some time. as a member of the
board for examination of line officers and
the questions include a series on the law
of nations, so that, presumably, Captain
Terry is posted on such a matter as the
recognition of insurgents.

In addition to Lieut. Underwood, two
other officers of the Newark had recently
been on duty as instructors at the Naval
academy.

' That these officers allowed. Admiral
Stantonto salute Mello without suggest-
ing to him the impropriety of such a course,
officials here are unwilling to believe.

He Had Instructions.

Naval officers have had much instruc-
tion in international law during and since
the threatened hostilities with Chili.
Secretary Tracy gave express instructions
to Admiral McCann, commanding the
United States vessels in Chilian waters,
to be exceedingly careful not to do any-
thing while the Balmaceda and insurgents
governments were at war that could be
construed into a show of .favor to either
side. . _

These instructions were printed .in one
of Secretary Tracy’s annual reports and it
is said that they were given Admiral Stan-

»ton’for his guidance during the . present"
' Brazilian revolution. '

Have Seen Little Sea Duty.
The Stanton incident has called atten-
tion to the fact that many naval officers
have seen very little sea duty in. propor-

.- tienlto theiractual service lathe-navy and.

are therefore inexperienced as to the course
of conduct that should be pursued when
assigned to duty in connection with inter-
national or national difficulties of ahostile
'ch'aracter. , ‘
Admiral Stanton is pointed out as one
of these officers whose term of land service
has greatly exceeded the time he has spent
at sea. ,, . -

selections, the national airs predominating.

An Ovation for the Cardinal.

He received a perfect ovation from the
multitude, and it was with difficulty that
quiet could be restored.

In rising, he said that his only wish was
that his voice could correspond with the
wishes of his heart so that he could ex-
press :thanks for the high compliment
paid by this reception.

He congratulated the commissioners on
the peace, tranquility glad good govern-
ment that reigned at the capital notwith-
‘standing the absence of standing armies
and great military forces. '

A Free Nation, Yet Strong.

The first thing, he said, that strikes
distinguished foreigners at Washington,
is the absence of .military, such as he is

of Europe. We have no standing armies
in the United States which are a drain on
the moral and material resources of the
country. Yet, despite the absence of such
forces in Washingtdn, the city is well
governed. And what is true of the capital
is true of the nation. We have credit
abroad for being a free nation. ‘Yet we
are strong, for our strength lies in the in-
telligence and virtue of our people and in
the patriotism of our citizens.
Beauty of the Capitol.

The cardinal also congratulated the
commissioners on the beahty of the capitol.
He ventured to predict that before many
years the greatest nation of the earth
would be adorned by the greatest capitol
in Christendom. -

He spoke of the repeal bill in the senate
as a demonstration of the fact that we are
‘3 law abiding people. For, .he said, it is
plainly shown that the people of the United
States wish to revoke the present law, yet
so long as it is on the statutes it is-re-
spected until it has been lav’vfully revoked.

Reception to the Public.

At the conclusion of his remarks the
general reception to the public‘began' and
lasted until a late hour. Every clergyman

its rector, Bishop Keane, who also during
