grams to the State Department from
Minister Furniss today In each he
urged the necessity of the presence
of one or more American warships
to protect the interests OF Americans
in case Of attacks upon the impor-
tant ports by the reyolutionists. The
cruiser Des Moines will be rushed to
join the Petrol there.
Mr.. Furniss stated that the reyo-
lutionists captured Hinche and Mis-
SADIE last Saturday after an ENGAGE
ment of short duration. with appar-
emily little resistance, and yesterday
they were equally successful in their
attack upon the important port OF
Gonaiyes.
Mr.. Furnss added that presiden.
Simon, fearful of the situation at
Fort Llberte, had chartered Ger-
man sailing ship to convey him to
either Cape Haytien or Port au
Prince.
The gunboat Petrol, which was
rushed over from Guantanamo Sat
urday, arrived at Cape Haytian yes
terday in accordance with inforna-
ton contained in Mr.. Furniss' see
ond telegram, urging the presence
of ship at Gonaives, as soon as pos
sible, the Petrol will proceed at
once to that port The orders for
this movement were issued tonight
by acting Secretary Winthrop. With
Gonaives in the hands of the revolu-
tionists it is feared that large guam
! titles OF supplies which are stored
there belonging to the American
company now constructing rail-
way in Hayti may be captured.
Orders were issued yesterday for
the gunboat Des Moines at Boston,
commanded by Commander Oman, to
proceed to Hayti to relieve the Pc
trel. Supplementary orders were is-
sued to the Des Mones to proceed
at once to Cape Haytien to await
further orders there. The Petrn,
will probably be retained in Hay
tian waters until the situation
quiets down or until another vessel
can be sent to her relief. In as
much as the Petrol has been on the
West Indian patrol for several
months 1t is desired to send her
North to give her men shore liberty.
