still another battleship Is hurrying
across the gulf OF Mexico to join the

navy yard are assembled hundreds OF
marines waiting for transports, sew
eral of which are being made ready
for a quick embarkation.
To add to the excitement In naval
icircles, a we'll founded rumor gained
circulation that the United States Is
rushing the nucleus OF her sea fight
ing power to southern waters not
only 10 suppress the revolution IN
Cuba, but also 70 put final quietus
on the situation in Mexico.
Rear Admiral Osterhaus, command

before anchor could be dropped he
received orders by wireless from the
navy department at Washington TO
proceed at once to Cuba without walt

supplies, which was the vessels mis-

An hour later the battleships
Minnesota. Mississippi. Missouri and
Ohio steamed up the narrows at full
speed, rushed marines and munitions
on board and turned south again a
few hours later.
The 5000 troops which have been
ordered to hold themselves In readi-
ness 10 embark at once can be moved
as soon as the transports are ready.
The orders TO place the army trans
