To AID ST. EIERRE SUFFERERS.
American warships Ordered to Pro-
ceed at Once to the Scene of Dis
aSter.

Washington. May 1G.-The secretary
of the navy has cabled the commander
Of the cruiser Cincinnati, now at San
Domingo City, to proceed to Martinique
and render such aid 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
reason for this belief was the following
cabelgram from United States Consul
Maxwell, at San Domingo City: THE
situation in San Domingo is improving.
The provisioal government has been an
nounced at the seaports, and, for the
most part, in the interior. All eAeodtive
affairs are under the provisional gov
ernment and vasquez is the provisional
president"
1t is possible that the Potomac has
already left San Juan for Martinique,
but there is doubt on this point be-
cause the navy department has not
been able to secure a response to an in
ouiry on this point sent by cable this
morning to the commander OF the naval
station at San Juan.
As a further precautionary measure
Secretary Moody sent the following tel
egran to the commander OF the Brook
Iyn navy yard: ''The Dixie is ship
of considerable carrying capacity, and
would be better fitted than any of the
regular naval ships to hasten to Mar
tiniuue with relief supplies which prob
ably can be obtained more readily at
New York than at the West Indian
islands.
As a still further measure of help the
state department today Cabled to
Omitted States Consul Ayme, at Guade-
loupe, to proceed at once to Martinique
to report upon the conditions there and
inform the United States government
what help is needed.
