WASHINGTON, Dec. s.-rhere was war in
the atmosphere Of the navy department yes
terday. The secretary OF state has called
upon the secretary OF the navy to get fleet
IN readiness 10 sail for Hayti for the purposs
Of releasing the merchant vessel Haytian
Republic, illegally seized BY the government
Of Iayd.
The decision to send a strong naval force
was reached at the cabinet meeting Through
Commodore Walker, chief Of the bureau Of
navigation, Secretary Whitney has ordered
the Galenn, Nnntic and Richmond. now
lying at the Brooklyn navy yard, where they
have recently been repaired, 70 get ready for
sea with all rapidity.
Late yesterday afternoon a dispatch was
sent 70 the commnndant Of the Norfolk navy
yard to prepare the corvette Ossipce for sea
service as soon Us possible Il win take a
little longer 70 do this than viii be r-cessary
with the vessels at New York, but it is
thought she can be fully prepared 20 follow
them TO Hayti within a few days She viii
be sent TO Port-au-Prnce, unless something
happens in the meantime 10 render It uneces-
sary.
Secretary Whitney said that similar orders
would probably be issued without delay 70
whatever other vessels might be found most
available.
'Thesa vosselsr said Commodore Walker,
twill have all necessary stores on board, and,
with the exception of the Ossipee, will ba
ready TO sail next week The order to pro
pare for sea does not include the order 70
sail That Will require a special instruction,
which will be given next week

the demand, which Admiral Luce win called
upon 70 enforce for an indemnity Of S6O.OO0
awarded Won Bokkelen by A. =. Morse, Of
this city, and the money will be brought
hnck on board the Galena
Notwithstanding the reticence Of the state
department officials, il is well understood
here that admiral Luce viii have authority
20 shell the city of Port-au-Prince immedi-
ntely upon the receipt Of the refusal OF the
Haytian authorities TO give up the Haytian
Republic
The United States win stand no more non
sense. Secretary Bayard said that ha
neither proposed 70 bully Hayti nor to tenn
poriza further
An important fact leaked out in this con-
nection. The dispatches which have been
sent 90 Minister Thompson at Port-au- Primes
Indicate that the United States viii AZ once
ask the other leading powers, England, Ger
many and France, 10 unite in an effort 20
establish stable government of some sort
in the lslhnd OF Hayti, in order that there
may be no more periodical revolutions which
have torn up the little republic at very short
intervals for nearly 100 years, endangering
foreign interests and the lives Of foreign res
dents
