WARRINGTON, Nov. 29.-Although the Ad-
ministration feels some hesitation In recogniz-
ing that the trouble between Germany and
Hayti over the Lueders case is serious, IL has
determined to send the cruiser Marblehead to
Hsytian waters to keep a watchful eye on Amer
lean interests during the tendency OF the In
cident. ostensibly the Marblehead 10 going
merely on q cruise to West Indian ports with
the particular object Of Waiting Navassa
Island. the guano deposit owned by the United
States. 1t has been customary for the Navy
Department TO send q vessel to Navassa every
winter so that her officers may inquire into
the condition of the laborors on tho island
and bring about an adjustment Of troubles
which occur occasionally between the guano
company and its employees. Most of the cruise
Of the Marblehead will be consumed, however.
In Haytian waters. and she will remain ut Port

threatening policy Of the German Government.
Tho Marblehead 10 at Annapolis. Tomorrow
che will take part in tho trial trip of the torpedo
boat Winslow and will leave for the West Indios
thereafter as soon as possible. She will not
touch ct any Cuban port. Her orders will be ex-
plicit on that point, for 1t is the policy OF the
Government not to send warships to the vicinity
Of the perturbed island, for fear Of exciting sus-
picion in the minds OF the Spanish Ministry that
the Un ted States contemplates some act detri-
mental to the interest Of Spain.
The intention to have tho Marblehead In the
vicinity Of Hayti while the trouble with Ger
of tho situation. The Navy Department has
been making o careful inquiry about the reports
that German warships would be sent to Port-au-
Prince. 1t has been ascertained that two school
ships of the imperial navy would DO In the West
Indies this winter and would touch ct Charles
ton In February. This was reported to the
State Department. BY the German Embassy
hero before tho Lueders dispute arose.
Since then the Navy Department has been
informed that another German school
ship would visit the West Indies in tho winter
months, but there has been nothing received to
confirm the reports that the big armored cruiser
Kaiserin Augusta or other formidable German
vessels would bo sent TO Hayh TO secure repara-
ton for the treatment Of Herr Lueders. It has
been customary for the German Government TO
send two warships to tho West Indies every
winter. and the Administration Is satisfied that
the reason for sending Q larger feet this winter
10 entirely peaceful. Still, the presence Of the
Marblehead, small a. she IL, will give q feeling
