The Navy Department gave out the
following statement:
Last night Secretary Of the Navy
Daniels received a dispatch from Ad-
miral Caperton stating that the French
quested permission to land small de-
tachment from the French cruiser
Descartes to guard the French lega-
| ton, as he considered it fitting that
the legation should be guarded by
French troops.
Secretary Daniels, after a confer
ence with Secretary of State Lansing.

facilities to the French minister for
the landing Of crews"
This attitude of France shows that
she at least regards the United States
as in unquestioned control of the af
fairs in Haiti. In the opinion of Off
cials. it shows also that, after the
landing Of marines by Admiral Caper-
ton, the United States must be re-
garded by foreign nations as fully re-
sponsible for eventualities. The United
States will thus take care Of not only
English and French, but German and
Austrian and other interests.

Admiral Caperton has cabled that
more marines might be needed" the

by both.
Navy officers say that the situation

They estimate the population at about
10000. There are, therefore, about
10000 men capable of bearing arms IN

Of attack from the citizen snipers and

had a certain number of submarines

we're small weapons. The caliber Of
the piece and the way In which 1t was
mounted made it ineffective for such
purposes as sinking ship. Really,
these submarine weapons, whether
placed outside the boat or on a rising
carriage, were little more than expert
ments.
Germany Is now using much larger
submarines, and these are armed with
fourinch quick-firing gun. which
bears about the same relation to the
earlier submarine weapons that the II
inch howitzer does to the ordinary
field pieces.
I'm addition to introducing this big
gun into their submarines, the Ger

Of bringing 1t into action is very quick

platform shoots up. carrying the gun

"As 1t rises from the boat the gun
lifts on a hatchway, which auto

the gun and the men who work it.
One of these men trains the weapon
around to whatever direction is re-
Quired. while the other elevates or de-
presses, and also fires it. Another
pull Of the lever. and down drops the
gun again. the hatchway closes auto

this four-inch gun comes much cheap

ways 1t is more effective. A torpedo
costs thousands of dollars, and 1t may
miss its mark. Scores of German tor
