 Caring for the Wounded. . Captain Russell said, however, that ne had sent ashore a medical officer with a dozen marines to aid in caring Tor islanders wounded during the Oreste abandoned his government and sought refuge aboard the German cruiser Vineta
 The policy to be adopted by the United States regarding Haiti, which mas been left without government by the flight of the president at the ap- proach of revolutionists, will depend upon developments during the next few days.
 The Haitien constitution provides that in case of a vacancy in the pres ldency the cabinet ministers shall call the national assembly in session within ten days and that body shall fill the vacancy. If this constitutional method IS followed now the state department here probably will not object to the recognition of the new government in Haiti. There is doubt, however, as to the ability of Oreste's cabinet to get together and issue call for the na- tional assembly.
 Flight of Cabinet Ministers.
 It is believed many of these officials already have sought safety in flight. The minister for foreign affairs was reported today to have taken refuge on board the German merchant vessel Sardinia
