cruiser Atlanta for Nicaragua when ordered
to do 80 by Secretary Herbert has been fol-
lowed by the summary detachment Of that

tect American interests was urgently de-
manded.

diately.

delivered. Supply anything needed by the
Atlanta from ships under your command at
once. She must not delay on account Of
tubes. Send her to sea immediately
At 4 80 p. m. on the 11th Captain HigGin-
son sent the following dispatch to Commo-
dore Melville
PLEASE do not let the Atlanta sail without
putting boiler tubes on board. We have two
