TROUBLE Is FEARED
NAVY Denaytment Not Convinced that
TROUBLE is FEARED
Navy Department Not Convinced that
Absolute Quiet Prevails Along
Eastern Coast.

steps were taken yesterday by the Navy
Department to safeguard American in
terests on the east coast of Mexico.
The battleship Kentucky was ordered
to proceed from Galveston to Tampico
and to remain in those waters, and the
gunooat Wheeling was ordered from
New Orleans to Elcarman. Yucatsn.
The army transport Hancock Is reported
approaching Pensacola. stated to be the
best place, in case OF an emergency, for
the rapid embarkatlon of Marines.
The Kentucky's orgininal destination
was Vera Cruz, but her orders were
suddenly changed, and she was directed
to Tampico. Her mission Is said to be
two fold, to protect American citizens
as well as American and foreign pro-
perty interests.
The Wheeling's presence off Elcarmen
is taken to mean that this government
is not sure that Carranza's claims to
have complete control of Yucatan are
well founded. In Yucatan the greater
part of the American interests are at
Progreso, and II is believed the Wheel
ing will divide her time between this
port and Elcarmen.
The gunboats Marietta and Machias are
now respectively at Vera Cruz and
Tampico.
The activity of the Navy Department
Yesterday was accepted as Indicating
that the administration Is not convinced
that quiet prevails along the east coast,
or that the interests of Americans and
other foreigners are entirely safe.
Chevalier Van Rappard. the Neither
lands Minister, called at the State De-
partment yesterday and discussed with
Acting Secretary Polk the situation in
the Tuxpsm-Tsmpico district. Large oil
properties of both the Netherlands and
Great Britain are located In that region.
The Netherlands kept a cruiser off
Tampico for some months guarding the
oil properties, but arrangements were
made eventually by which the United
States government undertook to safe
guard them. 1t is understood that
Cheavlier Van Rsppard discussed the
need OF special provision for protecting
the oil properties in the present emer-
gency.
