Circumstance Not Fully Known
to the Public Require

Washington, Sept. 12.-By noon to-
day the navy department had advised
that the two warships ordered to the
scene of the trouble on the isthmus of
Panama had sailed for their destina-
tions. A telegram was received from
Rear Admiral Casey, commanding the
Pacific station, stating that the big bat
tleship Wisconsin had left Bremerton
today and after taking on coal at San
Francisco will resume her long voyage
down the Pacific coast. With the same
promptness which characterized his
prompt hurrying to the scene to cable
of the disaster at Martinique. Com.
mander T. c. Mclean, with the Cincin-
natl, had started for Colon within O.
few hours after receipts Of the navy
orders and cabled Sec
retary Moody to that effect this morn
ing. AS further indication that the
vigorous efforts Of the navy depart-
ment to relieve the situation on the
isthmus, are none too early, the follow
ing cabiegram was received from Com
mander Potter, who with his small gum
boat Ranger has for the present, the
entire situation to look after.
Panama received a cipher dispatch
this morning saying that the revolu
tionists are near the railroad line. The
situation is serious. The transit across
the isthmus is still open"
In view of the reports that political

patch OF the naval force to the isthmus
of Panama, a statement was gained to-
day from high and unquestionable of
ticial source to the effect that protection
of American interests and enforcement
Of treaty guarantees are the only two
considerations involved in sending adj
ditional war ships to Panama and
Colon. It was pointed out that peculiar
circumstances made necessary the dis.
patch OF force more formidable than
the occasion really warrants The
Ranger at Panama has a complement
of only 1913 men. There was no other
vessel available on the Pacific coast
save the battleship Wisconsin! SO that
while 1t was sending man to per-
form a boys work, the navy depart
lnent had no alternative. Moreover, 1T
Is learned that the department has de-
cided not to send the Panther with a
battalion of marines to the isthmus
unless Commander Mclean, upon the
arrival OF the Cincinnati at Colon, IN
forms the department that the men are
reeded. In the meantime the battalion.
will be equipped and provisioned and a
ship is held in readiness for Immediate
departure for Colon. Rear Admiral Sllas
Casey, commander-in-chief OF the "a
cif1c station, will go down to Panama
aboard the Wisconsin and take per-
sonal command of the naval forces up
on his arrival there.

MONTGOMERY TO GO TO HAYT'.
Will Replace the Cincinnati in Look.
;no after American Interests.

Washington, D. c., Sept. TT Is
realized that Notwithstanding the ap-
sence of a Haytian navy on either SIDE
of the revolutionary struggle there Is
danger that some Of the ports where
American property interests are large
may suffer because of the practice
which has grown up in the course OF
the rebellion of burning towns before
eyacuating them. 1t has therefore been
decided to send the gunboat Mont
gomery to Port au Prince to replace
the Cincinnati, which has been ordered
to Panama. The Montgomery has just
finished participation in the maneuvers
and is being overhauled at the New
York navy yard. Allowing a couple
Of days in which to coal and fit out,
she could probably reach Port au
Prince by next Thursday.
