SMALLPOX CHANGES

Daniels BIames Sailing Orders
on Quarantine Placed on
Guantanamo.

The fact that the Navy Department
has been unable to raise the quaran-
tine placed on the naval station at
Guantanamo on account of the small
poX cases taken there from the bat
tleship Ohio. was the reason given
this morning by Secretary Daniels
for another change in the plans for
the winter battleship practice.
Under. the new arrangement, the
battIeships and torpedo boats, sus-
pected of being sent south as much
on account of the Mexican situation
as from desire to provide them op-
portunity for winter maneuvers,
either will remain the entire time at
Culebra or base at GuaoanayabO Bay,
on the south coast of Cuba.
According to Secretary Daniels, there
now are nine virulent cases of small
pCX and twenty-five suspects at
Guantanamo.
The oattleships which will take part
in the winter practice include the
Wyoming Utah, Florida, South Caro-
lima, and Georgia-fve of the most
powerful dreadnoughts in the navy,
Should the Administration decide on
more drastic steps, the presence Of

Through Ambassador Page this
