AMERICANS IN DANCER.
Some Sharp Sent Admiral
Carpenter.
Washington, l>ec. 1.—Tbs report that
Minister Dii by had appealed in a eab.e-
gran 1 t.) the Department of State is now
con.uoied, hut the dispatch, instead of
coming yesterday, was received last Mon¬
day and the .Navy Department immediate¬
ly raided lo Admiral Carpenter direeUng
him to delive- a draft of 50 marines to
the Monocnel at Tien Tsin. As the old
Monocnd could not furnish accommoda¬
tions for such ati increaso to their crew
it is to he preri nud that men were land¬
ed. Admiral Carpenter, however, must
hove failed • © receive the order, for early
in the morning of the 27th a ^cablegram
was received from hint announcing the
departure of the Baltimore for Nagasaki,
whore her arrival wins reported two days
later.
To say that the authorities of the Navy
Depa’rtmont nre very much chagrined ov<t
Admiral Carpenter’s action in this matter
only mildly expresses the state of feel¬
ing. Whitt* it is well known here that no
foreigner is safe on Chinese territory to¬
day. the flagship is leisurely coaling at
the pleasant port of Nagasaki and the
second important ship of the fleet, the
Charleston, has been over a month at
Chemulpo. Korea, where there is not a
vestige of dancer to American interests,
the strong Japanese force there maintain¬
ing the heft of order.
It Is known that some sharp messages
have been sent to the Admiral in the
past two days and that he has been di¬
rected to send 'the Charleston at once
to the Chinese coast, it is also under¬
stood, though in the present irritated
condition it is impossible to confirm it,
that Minister Ponhy was authorized legation sev¬
eral days ago to transfer the to
Tien Tsin.
