NEW BRITISH NOTE
is BEING PREPARED.
Will Take Up Questions Which Have
Arisen Since First Note Was
Drafted.

London, July %, 5.54 p. m.-The new
British note to the United States. in
the course Of preparation. will be an
amplif1cation of the original American
contraband note which arrived in
Washington Monday. 1t will take up
the first note was drafted.
Washington, July 2S.-Defense of the
right OF a. belligerent to- blockade a
neutral port through which an enemy
lis receiving supplies, or attempting to
market its own products, is the chief
argument to be made in the supple
mental note which Great Britain is
preparing in reply to the American
protest against the enforcement of the
orders in council. The original note,
received last Monday, has been with
held from publication at the request
Of Sir Edward Grey, British foreign
minister. pending the arrival of the
supplemental communication, which is
expected within a week.
All other issues than that Of the
blockade Of neutral ports, it is learned,
will be regarded by the British gov
ernment as subsidiary and proper for
later discussion. Upon recognition by
neutral governments of the principle,
from the British viewpoint. depends
the ability of a belligerent which has
otherwise established control of the
seas. to profit by the enormous expen-
QIIuTe anu SdSTlIlC0 WHICH IndQe pOSSl-
BILE that control. The matter is all
important in the British view.
Two developments not discussed in
the original note will be taken up in
the supplemental communication. The
first of these is the American caveat
Of July II, conveying the notification
that the United States government
would not recognize the orders in
council as a substitute for the pro-
visions Of International law.

Marines Landed
in Port Au Prince
TO PROTECT LIVES OF AMERI.
CANS AND FOREIGNERS
TO REEsTABLIsH PEACE
Impression Prevails That the Marines
VIII Remain There Until Perma-
nent Peace 10 Assured

Washington, July 2S.-American ma
rfnes were landed today at Port Au
Prince, Haiti, to protect the lives. and
property of Americans and other Tor
eigners. Rear Admiral Caperton ad-
vised the navy department late tonight
that he had sent a force ashore from
the cruiser Washington.
No Firing at Marines.
There was no firing at the marines,
although disorder continued in the
city. 1t was assumed a guard had
been establisher at the French lega-
ton and at other points to protect for
eigners.
Admiral Caperton's force is too small
to permit general patrol of the city.
A more complete report Is expected
from him early tomorrow. Should 1T
be deemed necessary, additional ma
rines will be sent from Guantanamo. A
full regiment would be necessary to
police the city. 1t is said.
400 Marines and 5IueiaeIeets.
Admiral Caperton has 400 marines
and bluejackets on board the United
States steamer Washington. which ar
rived at Port Au Prince today, and
the collier Jason, with another hun
dred marines. is due there tomorrow.
Additional forces are available at
Guantanamo, should they be needed.
Situation Very Grave.
The admiral had reported by wireless
while en- route from Cape Haitien to
Port Au Prince early today that the
situation at the latter place was very
grave" The state department re-
ceived messages from Charge d'Affaires
Davis telling of the assassination of
President Guillaume by mob which
broke into the French legation, shot
the chief executive and dismembered
his body.
No Established Government.
This violation of the diplomatic i'm
munition which foreign legations en-
joy would be regarded ordinarily as a
serious affront, but In view of the alb
sence of an established government
and the general turbulent conditions,
the incident probably will not comph-
cate the situation. 1t had the effect,
however of stimulating the American
government which is more deeply in
terested in Haftf than European coun-
tries. to take immediate steps to re-
store order.
President Wilson has been giving
serious consideration to the situation
in Haiti for several weeks. Paul Full
Ter, Jr, sent ii investigate conditions
there, recently returned with report
showing that it was impossible for
him to negotiate a proposed treaty with
President Guillaume because of the lat
ter's fears that the populace would
rise against him if he signed the pact
