Washington. Nav 5-The Navy Department has
ordered the Immediate dispatch Of the converted
yacht Vixen to Bluefeds Nicaragua. The Vixen
is now a formidable lght-draUght gunboat She
Is at Norfolk fitting for a cruise 10 the Philip
pines by the Suez route. The order 10 Nicaragua
will simply delay her arrival at Manila. for it is
the intention OF the Navy Department TO replace
her in Nicaraguan waters by another gunboat at an
early day II Is said the Navy Department that
no adyices of late date have been received from
Rluefelds tending to show the existence OF crisis
there and II is likely that the purpose of sending
the Vixen is to replace the Detroit, which is too
large and of too great daught to render the best
service.
