tank of major, to Governor Morehead and
received todnj.
Major Stark says ho ha received rev
et al Inquiries relative to how the custom
was InaiiKuratcd and tho number of tlmoa
tho proposition had como up. He believes
thn ajoveriior of the etate aa tho coni-manCer-ln-chlef
of tho National Guard
could mako good use of the material fur
nished and ho submitted tho same for
thatp urpoce.
The communication reads:
ITnder International law. a salute to tho
flair Is defined to bo a public acknowledg
ment of an apolopy. made to tho country,
whore flag Is saluted.
A flag salute as a form of redress Is
nothing unprecedented In American hls-
Ou'r navy was required In ISM to fire
natlonul Halute In honor of llrar.ll, by
order of President Lincoln, as a part of
an apolofry for the violation of Brazilian
sovereignty Involved In the capture of
Ihe confederate cruiser Florida by the
Wochusett within the harbor of BahU.
The Brazlllun government demanded the
calutc and got It.
' Incident at Snn Snlrndor.
In Julv 18M. the consulate of the Un'.t.
States at San Salvador was violated, toy
the forces of the provisional government.
Mr. MUner, tho American minister, de
manded an apology, that the flaw should
be hoisted In broad daylight by uniformed
commissioned officer of the provisional
army, and that as the flag waa hoisted,
a military i-alute should be paid to It and
money reparation for property destroyed.
The demand was refused and the matter
came to President Benjamin Harrison,
who referred It to James G. Blaine, then
stcretary of state, who rcporW thaf
"The government of the United States
could not with ielf respect, have nccepK'J
li.au renarntlnn than Mr. Mlzner. the
American minister, had at th time pro
posed." The Salvadorlan government
complied with the demand for apology,
salute to tho flag and tho payment of
?;,500 In gold coin us damages.
President Wilson and Secretary Bryan
made the sama demand of a provisional
government, except no damages was
asked, aa President Harrison and Secre
tary Blaine had demanded in the above
case. In both cases the fleet arrived;
Salvador compiled, Mexico refused.
Under International law, our next step
was to make a reprisal, which has been
done by the seizure of Vera Crux.
Tho practical application of tho saluto
to the flasr. In case now pending, restu
not only on International law. but upon
the fact that on account of the Huerta
nress nnd telecrraph censorship, the offi
cial apology from Huerta might never
bo heard by tne Mexican people, uui me
salute of twenty-ono guns would visibly
establish tho fact that tho dignity to the
American flag and uniform had been
fully redressed.
The Turn pi co Incident.
The facts of the Tamnico Incident seem
to put the Huerta .government In the
wrong. Tne roreign minister s aeoaraiion
that there, was no Insult to the United.
States flag because there was no flag
carried by Dolphin s boat is oDviousiy un
tniA. A warshln'a boat colntr to shore
on such a mlaslon, In a time of civil war,
would necessarily carry tne nag. near
Admiral Mayo Is our authority in the
first instance for the statement mat ma
bluejackets were actually under the
vlsiblA nrotection of their flag and Presi
dent Wilson in his inessa.ge states that
two flags were carried, one in tne dow
and one in the stern. Insofar as tho final
refusal of Huerta to salute was Dasen
on the absence of tho United States flag
from the Dolphin's boat, his case goes by
tho board. Condltolns being what they
were In Mexico, Insistence upon the flag
salute, as demanded by Hear Admiral
Mayo, could scarcely have been 'waived
bv tho United stales government wmi-
out, In effect, notifying all Europe that
our claim under the Monroe doctrlno to a
predominant influence in the settlement
of the Mexican difficulties and to a
privileged and special guardianship of
forelirn interests in that stricken country
was too far played out to warrant Its be
ing regarded any longer wiin aeierence
or respect. Tne acquiescence wiinoui
protest In Huerta s rerusai to grant mo
salute or even our repudiation of Ad
miral Mayo's demand, must have signi
fied to foreign powers that our guardian
ship of their Interests In Mexico had be
come nothing but a mockery.
I deem. It proper to say that criticisms
of President Wilson and Secretary W. J.
Bryan are criticisms of President Lin
coln, Secretary of State W. II. Seward.
President Harrison ana aecreiary 01
States James G. Blslne.
To my mind It is clear that tne action
of President Wilson and Secretary of
Btato W, J. Bryan in in accoru wun me
precedence of our country. International
law, and that they should be sustained
by all patriotic citizens.
