ORDERED TO SCENE.
Cincinnati Going to Martinique and
Dixie Held in Readiness.

WASHINGTON, D. c., May 1O.-The
Secretary Of the Navy Moody has cabled
the commander Of the cruiser Cincinnati,
now at San Domingo City. to proceed to
Martinique and render such aid as Is
possible.
The Secretary Of the Navy found after
consultation with Assistant Secretary
Hill that it would be safe to take the
Cincinnati from San Domingo The rea-
son for this belief was the following ca
blegram received from United States Con-
sui Maxwell. at San Domingo ely:
The situation in San Domingo is i'm
proving. The provisional government has
been announced at the seaports, and for
the most part III the interior. All eXecu-
tive affairs are under the provincial gov
eminent and Vansquez is the provisional
president.
It is possible that the Potomac has al
ready left San Juan for Martinique. but
there is doubt on this point because the
Navy Department has not yet been abe
to secure a response to an inquiry on this
point sent by cable this morning to lie
commandant of the naval station at San
Juan
AS a further precautionary measure
Secretary Moody sent the following tele-
gram to the Commandant OF the -rook-
lyn yard:
Order Dixie to prepare for sea as soon
as practicable. Report when she can be
ready"
The Dixie is a ship of considerable
carrying capacity. and would be better
fitted than any Of the regular naval
ships to hasten to- Martinique with re-
lier supplies, which probably can be OBJ
tanned more readily at New York than at
any of the West Indian Islands.
As a still further measure OF help the
State Department to-day cabled to Tinted
States Consul Ayme. at GuadaIo11D. to
proceed at once to Martinique to reuor,
on the conditions and report to the ITn,.ad
States as to what help is needed.
