Commander Potter, of Rang

SITUATION THERE IS SERIOUS.
United States Government Is Taking
Prompt and Vigorous Measures to
Protect American interests and Re,
lieve Situation on lsthmus.

ltENG SlludLlOH
Washington, Sept. 12.-By noon to
day the navy department had been ad-
vIsed that the two warships ordered
to the scene of trouble on the isthmus
Of Panama had sailed for their des-
tinatjons.
telegram was received from Ad-
miral Casey, commanding the Pacific
station. stating that the big hattleshlp
Wisconsin left Bremerton today, and
after taking on coal at San Francisco
will resume her long voyage down the
Pacific coast.
Commander Y. C. Mclean. with the
Cincinnati, started for Colon within
few hours after the receipt of the
navy departments order and cabled
Secretary Moody to that effect this
morning.
AS further indication that the Wig
orous effects of the navy department
to relieve the situation on the isthmuS
are none too early, the following ca
blegram was received from Command
or Potter, of the Ranger, who, with q
small gunboat, the Ranger has for the
present the entire situation to look
after:

In view of the reports that political
significance attaches to this latest dis
patch Of navel force to the isthuEpUs

II was pointed out tAat peculiar etY-
cumstances made necessary the dis
patch of a force more formidable than
the occasion really warrants. The
Ranger and Panama has a complement
of only 1873 men. There was no other
vessel available on the Pacific coast
save the big battlesbip Wisconsin. so
that while 1t was like sending man
to perform a boys work, the depart
ment had no alternative. Moreover, Il
is learned that the department has de-
oided not to send the Panther with
the battalion of marines to the 18TH
mus unless Commander Mclean, upon
the arrival Of the Cincinnati at Colon,
informs the department that the men
are needed. In the meantime the
battalion will be equipped and pFovi.
stoned and the ship is held in readiness
for an immediate departure for Colon.
RRr Admiral Silas Casey, com.
mander in chief of the Pacific station,
will go down to Panama aboard the
Wisconsin and take practical conn
mand of the naval forces upon hds aE-
rival there.
