TO Guard Our Interests.
Washington. April 29.-Some sudden
and unexpected orders issued To the
United States naval vessels this after
noon caused a sensation for IA time.
until the purpose OF the orders was ex-
planned. The Alert. which has been
for a month or more al Panama watch

movement In Colombia, was ordered
to proceed at once TO San Juan del sur.

town, the eastern terminus Of the pro-
posed Nisaraguan cana. The Mont
gomery, now at Mobile. will follow the
Raleigh on May Z. with the Nicara-
guam canal commission aboard
Secretary Herbert explained briefly
the meaning OF these orders lie said
the movements OF the ships had abso-
lutely nothing 10 do with the occupa-
ton OF Corinto by the British. The real
purpose OF the orders was to guard
American interests In Nicaragua
against a possible revolution Being
asked what measure OF protection the
Nicaraguan commission would receive
In the pursuance OF its work Of ingpect-
ing the line of the canal, the secretary
said the Montgomery would remain at
Greytown while the commission was at
the interior. and with the two ships on
one side and one on the other they
would surely be forced To protect the
commission and all American interests
The action Of Secretary Herbert may
be attributed to the visit TO washing
ton by ex-senator Warner Miller Of The
Nicarasuan Canal Company and Of
some representations made by him on
the basis OF private reports as 10 the
real condition of affairs IN Nicaragua
and those coming from the Sicaraguan
minister directly.
In Mr.. MiIler's conferences with Sec
rotary Gresham he presented a very
strong case on the situation and men
ace TO American control OF the canal.
He brought out clearly the fact that the
British threatened 70 go to Greytowu
and to San Juan del Sur, the two i'm
portant points on the Atlantic and Pa
cific ends of the canal Miller urged
upon both Secretary Gresham and See
rotary Herbert the necessity OF pro
lection to the commission. and also i'm
dicated that in case of revolutionary
disturbances the United States should
not depend upon the Nicaraguan gov
eminent 20 protect the property. Mr
Miller said that Nicaragua had been
tranquil up TO two years ago. but the
revolution at that time had disturbed
affairs and since then there had been
an unsettled condition. He says the
canal company wishes 10 give every
opportunity for the commission to
thoroughly examine the canal.
