WASHINGTON, Dec. 15.-PresiGent
Wilson and his cabinet decided today
to send American warships to the
ty violations by bellfgerent ships.
Just how many ships will be dispatch
ed will be determined after a full re-
port has been received from Governor
Goethals, OF the canal zone and Cap
tain Eodman, naval officer at the ca
nal.
Both Secretary Garrison and Secre-
tary Daniels made It clear today that
the delay In acting on Governor Co
|ethals' request for destroyers Was due
to lack Of information. Mr.. Gar
rison explained that the colonel had
asked for destroyers without specify
ing the purpose OF their use.. In re-
ply 70 message OF inquiry, Colonel
GoethaIs explained that wireless regu-
iations were being violated In. canal
waters and referred to the miguse or
the canal zone as base OF supplies.
ThH war department again asked for

tion had been received. :.

At the British embassy It was sug-
gegted that the British coliiers which
