Washington, August 3.--Though the ad
vices received at the navy department
from Commander Logan of the gunboat
/ Machais show a pacific condition of af-
fairs in Santo Domingo, there is feeling
that there may be a calm before the
storm, and as precautionary measure the
administration proposes keeping either
the Machais or the New Orleans or per-
haps both at Santo Domingo indefinitely.
Commander Logans request for per-
mission to delay sailing for five days in
order to repair boilers, was answered by
directions to remain at San Domingo until
further orders. The navy department has
taken precaution to have proper naval
representation in Santo Domingo waters
for these reasons:
First-There are all sorts OF rumors
atloat about contemplated flibustering ex-
petitions to aid revolutionary move
ment against the present government.
Should 1t be discovered that any of these
expeditions have been fitted out in viola
tion of the United States neutrality laws
they VIII be seized, II possible, by men
of-war.
Second-In the event of a revolution
1t may become necessary to land marines
for the protection of our consulate and
other American citizens and property.
Thrd-To prevent any undue foreign in
tcrference in the event Of an uprising.
The governments best official informa
ton is that President Figuereo, who has
assumed control, has the support of all
the substantial people of the island. The
attitude Of the administration will be en-
tirely friendly to the new president and
his government, and the authorities will
exercise every precaution TO prevent any
aid from lawless persons in this country
or Cuba being given to revolutionists who
may contemplate the overthrow of the ex-
listing government.
