Commodore McCrea Says an Engage
ment Is Expected at Cape Haftfen.


WASHINGTON. Aug. s-The Navy De-
partment this morning received the follow
ing cablegram from Commander McCrea of
the gunboat Machias, dated Cape Haitien
Aug. 8: "Haitien gunboat landed force at
Cape Haitien on Friday afternoon. An en-
gagement is hourly expected. Will be ready
to land
structions to protect American interests
and in addition yesterday received special
instructions TO prevent the cutting of the
cable between the United States and Haiti
This is not a French company, as referred
to yesterday, but is purely an American
company, being part of the Commercial
Company's system. Commander McCrea
will confine himself strictly to that mission
and will not take sides either for or against
the de facto government Great confidence
is reposed in the ability and cool-headed-
ness of Commander McCrea, and no fresh
instructions were considered necessary
The Machias has a complement of 130 men,
including twelve marines, and could land
a force of about fifty men all told. A Colt
rapid-fire gun which she has aboard could
be sent ashore with landing party. The
Machias has eight four-inch guns in her
main battery, four six-pounders and two
one-pounders in her secondary battery, all
rapid fire, and under the threat OF these
guns il is quite unlikely that either the
Haitien gunboat or General Firmin's force
ashore would care to make an issue.
Acting Secretary of the Navy Darling to-
day sent the following cablegram to Com
mander McCrea, of the Machias: Your
actions are approved. Cutting cable in
reference with other than Haitien inter-
ests not TO be permitted. -

This brave show, however, did not deceive
the Queen. Throughout the service, ana
