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."
GERMANS APPLAUD; BRITONS CONDEMN.

RECENT D. L. 4 W. 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. .

terfere with the tariff and said that
any deficiency create ! by such change
in the tariff must be met by the Demo
crat! In their own way Mr. Teller
also spoke admitting the legality of the
issue of bonds for the purpose of main
taining the gold reserve, but declaring
that the real intention of the secretary
WU not within the letter uud spirit of
the law, but that be wanted bonds to
provide him with money to pay the
current expenses or the government.
At the conclusion of the financial
discussion, Mr. Turpie, Indiana, made
a speech favoring the repeal of tho
fed-ral election laws, in which ho
pail particular attention to the
operations of the law in the
state of Indiana. At the conclusion
of his speech, Mr. Turpie and Mr.

in which Mr. Turpie retorted iu
language so sharp that Mr. Hoar felt
constrained tu call the senator to or

Is much destitution uud Buf

in the belief that another out
break among the miners is now
probable. They state that several
mines in the district ars in opera
tion todav and that repairs are
iu progress at those places damaged
or destroyed by the raiding rioters on
Saturday. While the officials are con
fident tnat the rioters will not renew
their hostilities, deputies iu sufficient
numbers to protect the coul interests
will be continued on guard for eomo
time to come.
The ruinous tour of the riotera means
a further delay in tho resumption of
