WARsHIPS ARE ORDERED TO
PROTECT AMERICAN INTERESTS

Washington, Nov. 1S.-A dispatch
received this morning at the state de-
partment is to the effect that the men
have undoubtedly been executed. Upon
this information the secretary OF state
asked the secretary Of the navy to
order the Vicksburg to proceed in all
haste to Coronto for the purpose of
protecting Americans and American
interests. The Des Moines was also
ordered to proceed to Port Limon at
top speed for the same purpose. These
vessels will be in constant communi-
cation by wireless with the state de
partment. The Des Moines is now at
Colon, about $50 miles from Port
Limon. which she can reach within
ten hours steaming under forced
draueht. The Wick burg is o" .
Pacific coast at San Jose de Guate-
mala, nearly 200 miles from the Mica
raguan coast and will be able to reach
CorinIo at about the same time the
Des Moines arrives at Port Lmon.
The execution of the Americans Is
believed to have taken place at or
near FL Costello, which is in the imme-
date vicinity of GTeytOwn.
The brutality of the N'csra@uan
government in ordering the execution
OF these two Americans who happened
to be found in the revolutionists'
army. without trial of any sort, is
likely to result in this government
