Sim The government has recently received intelligence
that the interests of counymen require the presence OF
national vessel at San Juan Greytown and from your
experience in that region and confidence in yonr energy
and prudence and in of the wishes OF the Pres
dent the department has concluded to direct that you
proceed with the Cyane to that port SO soon as she can be
fully ready for the cruise.
The property Of the American citizens interested in the
Accessory Transit Company it is said has been unlawfuy
detained by persons residing in Greyown Apprehension
IL felt that further outragcs will be committed Our minis
ter Mr. Boand has been treated with rudeness and dis
respect
agent Greyown particularly the conduct of those
people and the views Of government which have been
communicated to him from the State Department. You
will consult with him freely and ascertain the true state
of the facts Now it is very desirable that these people
should be taught that the United States will not tolerate
these ouaees and that they have the power and the de-
termination to check them 1t is however very much TO
be hoped that you effect the purposes of your visit
without resort to violence and destruction of property
and loss of life The presence Of your vessel WILL no
doubt work much good. The department rcposes much
in your prudence and good sense.
Former dispatches have acquainted you with the pecu-
liar political position of this town. and of the relations of
our government to it. You will remain there no longer
than you may deem necessary 1t is a warm and un-
healthy climate You viii advise the department of your
movements and after leaving Greyown will touch at
Pensacola and receive orders from Commodore NewtoR
there if not earlier you will constitute part of his
squadron.
