surprising to the naval authorities as the fleet Is
already overdue al Colon. where the Admiral asked
TO have his mail sent after April l. 1t Is explained
however that Minister Smythe. at Port au Prince
WAS greatly dlsappo!ned when the squadron sailed
directly from san Domingo for Kingston omittihg
Port au Prince which had been on the Meet
Itinerary and he complained to the Navy Depart

II was considered harmful to American interests
for the warshps to avoid the liaytan port ana
II is thought the Admiral has taken this oppor-
tunty while the squadron was near To rectiy the
mistake. II Is also explained That Adfnlrai hea'e
was compelled to hurry from San Domingo TO King

and the coal supply was at Kingston awaiting MIN.
