CRUISER TO CARRY RELIEF.

Spain objected to Warships and the Order
Was Modified.
The naval department announ ced at
o'clock Monday afternoon that the
cruiser Montgomery would relieve the
Dispatch boat Fern OF Havana and
that the Fern would carry provisions
aud relief supplies to Matanzas and
Sagua La Grande. ssel
This is understood to be satisfac-
tory arrangement to the Spanish gov
eminent and will relieve the incident
Of its irritating feature.
The decision of the navy department
was made known with the following
brief statement posted by the bureau
Of 10 igation:
"The Montgomery will relieve the
Fern at Havana. Fern will carry pro-
visions to Matanzas and Sagua La
Grande."
This conclusion was reached after
conferences between the officials of
the state and navy departments and
understood to be such an adjustment
.Will not lead to further objection by
The Spanish government.
The Fern is a dispatch boat without
heavy armament or guns, although she
belongs TO the navy aud is technically
ilava vessel. As she comes as near
being transport as anything in our
naval service, her selection will accord
WITH the Spanish suggestion that
transport or merchant ship undertakes
MS carriage Of relief supplies.
The sending Of the Montgomery to
havana is primarily intended to re-
pace the Fern, which is now at Ha-
'ans' The Montgomery is an unarm.

alament of ten guns. tit
captain Crowninshield, chief of the
sufeau Of navigation, says no time
,s been fixed for the stay of the

oeclslon thus far reached is that she
