Santo Domingo Revolution Fails
to Worry Navy De-
partment.

Rear admirals who are now on duty
in the Navy Department in this city are
the authority for the statement that no
battleships will be sent to Santo Domin-
go, where a revolution Is said to be
threatened. 1t is also asserted at the
State Department that the revolt does
not seems to be as serious as reported
in certain quarters.
The gunboat Petrol Is in Santo DOM
inican waters, and 1t Is believed the
presence of this vessel is sufficient to
warn the would-be rebels this Govern
ment will not tolerate the seizure of the
customs houses on the Dominican Halt
ian border, which are under the super
vision of the United States.
The Petrol soon will be relieved by
the gunboat Wheeling.

available for the transfer was the

small, and, until after many altera-

Quintana Roo, the other Mexican
