 Washington, Dec. 8.-Official infor- nation was received at the state de. partment of such a disquieting char. acter in regard to the situation ir Hayti that orders were issued direct. ing Capt. McCalla of the cruiser Mar blehead to stant without delay fol came from MT. Powell, the United States minister resident at the capita. of Hayti, and while state department officials declined to say anything about its details, it was hinted that there is danger of a revolutionar y outbreak in the island as a result ot the high feeling over the case of the Lueders, who are imprisoned at Pori au Prince for violation of the law and in whose behalf Germany made a demand for the payment of a heavy indemnity.
 It is frankly admitted that the threatened hostilities between Ger many and Hayti have been averted The state department has never be- lieved that serious trouble would re- suit from the Lueders incident, and today it received assurances from Dr. Von Holleben, the German ann bassador in Washington, that his gov ernment was willing to settle the in- cident through the ordinary diplo- matic channels. For several days however, the department has been apprehensive of civil outbreak among the Haytians. Telegrams re- ceived from Minister Powell showed that feeling ran high over the belief that German war ship was ap- preaching Port au Prince, with lhe object of bombarding the town if the Lueders indemnity was not promptly paid.
 Soon after the receipt of MT. Pow elPs latest dispatch Judge Day, who is acting secretary of stateI during the temporary indisposition of Score ary WELL OtOl CuC Adey AO- partment and had conference with Secretary Long, which resulted in the decision to expedite the departure oi the Marblehead. A telegram was re- ceived at the navy department this morning reporting the arrival of the Marblehead at the Norfolk navy yard She left Annapolis after pal ticipating in the official trial oi the torpedo boat Winslow. Orders were issued on Monday last directing Capt. McCalla to proceed to Norfolk on the conclusion of the Winslow's trial, ito make ready for cruise in the West Indies, partly to visit the colony of American laIborers at the guano deposits of Navassa island, and principally to look after the interests of citizens of the United States iI Hayti in the event of trouble over the Lueders incident. No immediate danger was anticipated, and the Mar. blehead was to have had the usua time to take on stores and otherwise prepare for an extended crui-e. Il was expected that she would lsave about the 14th inst. The orders which were mailed to her comman. der this afternoon direct him to pre- pare for departure as rapidly as pcs sible, and navy department officials think the vessel will sail southwari from Norfolk by Saturday.
 The Marblehead will go directly tt Port au Prince. How long she vii remain there will depend on the DO itical situation in the island. If the present trouble has blown over by tht time of her arrival, and this is be lieved here to be not unlikely, sh' will continue to Navassa and a mum Der of West Indian ports.
 HAITI REFUSES TO CALL.
