Commander McCrea Discusses
Sinking Of the Gunboat.

Boston, Sept s--Commander Henry NC
Crea OF the g,inboat Machias. who recent
ly was in Haytian waters in charge or the
United States interests. was requested To-
day to explain scme features Of the situa-
tion there.
Commander McCrea was much inter-
ested in the sinking OF the Firnimst gun
boat Crete a Pierrot at the entrance OF
Gonaives harbor by the German gunboat
Panther. The commander said:
From the newspaper accounts pre-
sumo the orders OF the German command.
er were seize the Crete-a-Pferrof and
prevent further interference with inno-
cent foreign commerce, and To sustain
the position that the Crete-a Pierrot mao
no right to seize or search foreign mer-
chantmen, since the Firminfst govern
merit had not been recognized as belltger-
ents.
"As TO the sinking or firing upon the
Crete-a Pierrot. I take II that this was
done to prevent an explosion OF the maga-
zine from the fire started on the Crete-a-
Pierrot by the crew"
Continuing, Commander McCrea said
that in his opinion this incident means
that the situation will be clarified. For
one thing. he thought, the Firminist gov
ernment would have no means OF trans
porting troops by water from one part OF
the island TO another.
