WASHINGTON, June 22.-The cruiser
washington, with 200 bluejackets and 200
marines, was ordered today from Vera

foreign lives and property threatened by
the latest revolutionary outbreak. 1t was
said there would be a landing II neces-
sary.
Admiral Caperton will be In personal
command OF the expedition, which was
taken as indicative of the Governments
view of the seriousness of the situation.
The gunboats Machias and Marietta, re-
turning to Vera Cruz. will take the place
OF the Washington in guarding American
interests there.
1t was said at the State Department
that the revolutlonists first captured the
city and were then driven out by the Gov
ernment forces. The situation was orig
inally taken in hand by the commander
of the French cruiser Descartes, which
was at the Haitien port and which landed
marines to protect the French-Amerlcan
bank.
The services were greatly appreciated
and Admiral Caperton was instructed
to thank the French commander. At the
same time 1t was pointed cut that the
landing was technically in violation of the
Monroe Doctrine.
Under the circumstances this was re-
garded as perfectly right. but the Wash
ington Administration was unwilling to
have such a situation continue long

two years. AS soon as the orders are
completed the Remington Company will
turn the plant over to Baldwin's. Super
Intendent Sykes pointed out that Bald
