MESSAGE TO CONGRESS

Nicaragua and Remain There Un-
til Stable Government 10
Finally Assured.

Washington, December 4-(Speciall -
The state department tonight summed up
the situation respecting Nicaragua by the
statement that the government is obliged
for diplomatic and administrative rsa-
sons to play a waiting game
The state department explained further
than the steps intended to be taken By
this government and referred to in ths
Knox note were predicated upon the
placing In position of an efficient naval
force in the Nicaraguan waters. 1t is
regretted that the plans for the swift
dispatch of the Prairie with its 700 ma
rines to Panama have been delayed. A
court of inquiry has been ordered to as
certain the causes of the accident and
the Dixie has been ordered to take on the
cargo of the Prairie and its marines and
sail for Colon If the Prairie be not float
ed tomorrow.
The officers of the Dixie will go with
that vessel and will, of course, take with
them Rear Admiral Kimban, who has
been placed in charge of the vessels and
OF prospective land movements in Mic
aragua.
1t is expected that Rear Admiral Kim
ball will be transferred to the cruiser
Albany, when the marines and that ves-
sci arrive at Corinto.
Orders were sent to the Des Moines and
Tacoma today to take possession of Blue
fields. The Eagle which was doing duty
there was ordered south to look for the
Ave sailors of the Des Moines who are
