QUIET
DECLARE MANY
MINISTERS
PRESENTATiVES OF LATIN.
AMERICAN COUNTRIES ARE
ALARMED BY ORDER.

Washington, Feb. S.-MoYements of
United States warshps to Central
America which became" fully known
today, put the Central American lega-
tions here into a state Of flutter and
sent the Latin American ministers
hurrying to assure Secretary Knox
that all was tranquil in their coun-
tries.
Before noon practically all Of the
ministers had communicated with the
state department to inquire the reason
for the naval demonstration and dis
claim existence of any conditions in
dicating trouble.
To all queries the same answer was
returned-that the naval movements
We're merely precautionary and in
large part inspired by information of
activities of revolutionary juntas in
this country. At any rate, the state
department was unaffected by any of
the representations, as was evident by
the fact that in addition to the four
Warships either under way or about to
be ordered to Central America, the
gunboat Tacoma at Boston also was
added to the list, and her commander
was instructed to hold his ship in
Atlantic coast of Central America.

In Status Quo.

It was intimated i'm official quar-
ters that the purpose OF the naval
movement was to maintain the status
quo in Central America, SO far as that
can be done by the restraining influ-
ence of warships until the incoming
administration has had an opportunity
to define it's policy and decide upon its
attitude toward the Pan American re-
publcs.
Authentic reports of threatened up
risings coincident with the change of
administration in this country deter
mined Secretary Knox to guard Amer
lean interests by having a strong
naval forces at strategic points. 1t was
pointed out today that his action does
not in any way commit the incoming
administration, which. of course. may
| withdraw the warships at once if that
course be regarded as desirable.
