WAsHrSGroS, March 9th.-Although no orders
have yet been issued by Washington authorities
IN regard to the present situation in San Francis
CO except 70 keep them constantly advised, and
meanwhile to have United States forces in readi-
nes- for orders from the President TO respond to
the call Of the Governor of California, IL may be
considered certain that the Presidents order will
be telegraphed Immediately, in case the interpos-
ition OF the Federal authorities be invoked by the
Governor TO preserve the peace, and 1t Is believed
here that the troops already within reach OF San
Francisco, together with a United States man-Ot-
war now in the harbOr, will be sufficient TO make
the response 10 any such call amply sufficient. At
the same time il is the belief of the Washington
authorities that the good sense Of the people OF
San Francisco will undoubtedly avert any need
for Federal interposition, and that good order will
be maintained by wise couDsels and judielous,
peaceful measures.
