 expected that Mr. Knox would go to Jamaica, but it was later decided that he first visit the canal zone,
 Secretary Knox, accompanied by Mrs. Knox, Hugh Knox and wife and r. C. Knox, Jr., and wife, reached Key West from Palm Beach at 2:30 this afternoon. There the party was entertained by Rear Admiral Young and later went out to the ship on a navy tug.
 Trip Will Be Dignified
 Mr. IInox will accomplish the trip un- under conditions befittng it's dignity The cruiser Washington l@s been put in spicl and span shape and carries nearly 1O0G men, the largest crew now on any Amer ican warshlp. The admiral's quarters and the adjoining suite of the captain have been specially fitted up for them. while the whole after part of the gun deck has been set aside for the use of the Knox party. Here there will be ire quent receptions to government officials upon whom the secretary will call.
 To officers and crew it will not be an easy trip. They will be on almost con stant dress parade, as official visitors come and go. The men. however, have entered into the spirit of the cruise and it is believed will make a showing In the ports visited that will reflect credit on the navy and the nation.
 Unusual Salute
 When the secretary went aboard the ship he was accorded the unusual honor of receiving the salute of 19 guns. This is significant inasmuch as the importance attaching to his mis- sion by President Taft and the state department has been amplified. The sa- lute ordinarily is given to cabinet mem bers when they leave snip board. but acting upon special orders it will be accorded MT knoN whenever he em- barks or disembarl<s in a foreign port, and also upon his departure from the ship in American ports of call
 Mir Knox is said to be making the trip at the behest of the President. European diplomats look upon it with more than passive interest. it is said here
 The secretary is gong to the Carib- bean seashores to solve diplomatic problems and acquire more accurat te information as to conditions in Cen tral America and northern South America.
 Most of the time his official home will be aboard the Washington.
