ships Are Not Needed.
The orders issued yesterday for Amer
lean ships TO go to. Valparaiso have been
revoked owing to the receipt OF cable
grams from Minister Wilson which Indicate
that their presence is not needed.
The explanation given at the State de-
partment for the sudden change of plans
is that the department for some time past
has been receiving advices from various
sources indicating the existence of a seri-
Gus situation In Chilean seaport towns,
owing to formidable strike of dock labor
ers and severe rioting and destruction OF
property. The Navy department was ad-
vised OF this situation and an intimation
was given that the presence Of an Amer
lean warship would be prudent. When the
department decided 20 send the South At
lantic squadron from Montevideo the
emergency had ceased TO exist
The resolution Of the order does not in
dlcate that the South Atlantic squadron
will not cruise in southern Pacific waters
this summer, but all visits TO Chile will
be Of friendly character.
