Two More Ships for Hayti
The United States ship Atlanta, now being
| repaired at the New York Navy Yard, will
| probably be ordered to Port-au-Prinee to re-
| lieve the United States ship Galena, and it is
deemed prudent to have that vessel leave tho
infected ncighborhood as soon as possible.
| According to the present policy of the De-
| partment, two naval vessels will cruise in
| Haytien waters until the present revolution is
at an end, but no one vessel VIII be exposed
| to the danger Of fever contagion for any great
length OF time. Tho Ossipee and Atlanta are
said to be the only available relief vessels .
| The Ossipee has already sailed for Port-au-
| Prince, aud the Atlanta will probably follow
her as soon as she eau be gotten ready for sea.
