Tin OOVHM of the American admiral Is warmly Indorsed Inofficial circles at Wssnlogton, who thiuk Admiral Benham bad Unpll ground for fore lag De Game to recognise tlio .dignity of the United Stales. Washington, I). C, Jan. 30. IHKN the navy department closed this afternoon Secretary Herbert had received no t Or ther news concerning the crit- lOal condition of stYairs at liio than that contained in United Press dis patches. It wa positively aserted at the state department that Secretary Uresham had received nothing what ever from Minister Thompson and that the only information as to Rio Janeiro complications was obtained from Ad miral Benham's disp itches us furnished by the navy depitynent. The cable message from Benham giving an acconns ot the vigorous mea eares taken by him to stop interference with American merchantmen by De Gams, was received by Secretary Her bert at 10 o'clock lat night while a email informal dance was in progress at the secretary's turn. It was trans mitted in naval cipher and the secretary immediately sent for Lieu tenant Mulligan, the cipher trans lator of the navy department. L'util 4 o'clock this morning Lieuien aut Moliigan worked on the iuegage, and at that hour handed a translated copy to the secretary, who had re mained un to receive it. A copy was immediately prepared f.w Secretary Oreshnm and it was delivered at bis hotel at 5 o'clock this morning, Mem bers of the senate committee on foreign relations and of the house com mittee on foreign alfaira who have Keen the dispatch say its purport if to '.be following effect: ADMIRAL BENHAM PROTESTS. Admiral Benham. finding that Ad miral Da (iatna persisted in reckless firing that eudangered the safety of American merchant vessels, entered a protest. Pa Gama paid no heed to this and yesterday Benliam sought to warn the insurgent admiral by clearing his decks for action. When Da fiam i re fused to take this hint, Benham fired several shots across the bow of Da Gauia's flagship. This had an immedi ate and salutary effect and the matter ended at that point, so far ns Admiral Benham's dispatches disclose. The American squadron consisting of the cruiser, New York, the finest ship in the navy, the cruisers Detror, New ark, Charleston, ami the fUgship San Francisco, are of course overwhelm ingly superior to anything that Da Gama has to bring against them The news of Admiral Benham's ac tion was regarded of inch iniDortance that Secretary Herbert laid the matter before President Cleveland early this morning and the two discussed the sit uation nntil the cabinet meeting at 11 o'clock. The questions pre sented were considered at the meeting and press dispatches from Kio Janeiro were else carefully read in the hope that they would be stow some new light on the aspect of affairs After the meeting adjourned Secretary Herbert declined to make pnblicany information sent by Admiral Benham. He said, however, that he had heard notoin,' from the admiral concerning the reported surrender of Da Gama to Benham, but if anything additional came in from Kio he would make it public, provided it had no political bearing. ENDORSED IN OFFICIAL CIRCLES. The courso of the American admiral finds warm endorsement in official circles. An official of prominence told a United Press reporter that Admiral Benham had a perfect rig'it to interfere with Da Gama'e move ments when they becarn a menace to the interests of American vessels. The Insurgents, he said, had not been recognized as belligerents tiy the United States or any other nation. They had no right to establish a block ade, but they had done go. Yet in es tablishing it they took no means to en fore it by giving warning ito incoming vessels. He believed Benham had done right and that he wonld be endorsed by the administration for stopping the ar rogance of De Gama. Those who know Admiral Benham say he is a gallant officer, ever ready to resent sn insult to the flag, but exceed ingly conservative and not likely to do anything without considering it care fully. Besides he had the exmple of Admiral Stanton before him and tnat whs enough to make him donbly dis creet. It is the general opinion that Admiral Benham had ample grounds for bringing Da Gama to a sense of the dignity of tne United States and its ability to take care of the interests of its citizens. Admiral Benham had the Newark ready to aid the Detroit, while the New York, Charleston and Han Francisco were alert to receive the Aqnidaban and Tamandare, which werH under steam. Admiral Benham said today: "If Admiral De Gama was contending for any principle or position In wbion any civiliz d nation would snstain him, he ought to make a fight, but he is wrong iu law everywhere in opposing ns."

The English officers naturully Hre in Opposition, while not denying lliut Hi'tihums pontion is law ful Benham now has two proposition! regarding arbitral ion, but he will not reveal them.

ACCIDENT. An Investigation of the Cause Disaster Now In Progress at Hoboken. Ol Hobokf.N, N. J., Jan. 30 Among the witnesses examined touight by the jury investigating the recent Dela ware, Lackawanna and Western rail roald disaster, was Engineer David I loffman, of the South Grange local. He left South Orange two minutes late, he said. He knew the train ahead made no stops between Milbourn and Newark aud that he had four stops to make At Newark lie was told that the Dover express was a mile and a half ahead, and a Broad street tie received the G. K signal. He left Newark three min utes late. He blew a long whistle blast as he approached Sandforu's Crossing and shut the steam off when wifhiu six hnudred feet of the bridge As lie was going down a steep grade he applied the air brakes, aud tin ling the train coming to a stop too suddenly, released the brakes. At the same time he ?aw the rear end of tne Dover express. He called to his fireman, applied the brakes and jumped. He saw no flag. The whistle at Sandford's crossing, he said could have been beard a mile. Hud he been flagged there would have been no ac cident. The train was going at the rate of seventeen miles an hour aud was under control. He c uld have stopped within 100 feet if the company had taken all the necessary precautions, lie attributed the accident to the care lessness of Flagman W . -ton. L. H. Devoef a passenger on the South Grange local, said that after the accident he found Hoffman, witn his eyes blinded by blood moaning, ''Gh, why did vou do that? Where was yonr flag? Why didn't you torpedo us?" Engineer Stitcher, of the Dover ex press, was recalled, and when asked if he thought a train running at twenty five miles an hour could stop in the given distance, he said it was hard to be asked to condemn a brother engi neer. .
