Show OOKS TO CENTRAL AFRICA- A Couple or Cutter Sail For the West Coast. San Fkancisco, July 17. Special. The Hanger and Thetis in compliance with orders from the navy department sailed today for the west coast of Central Africa. This order which was unexpected was occasioned by information infor-mation received at Washington that trouble is imminent between Salvador and Guatemala, arising out of the recent re-cent change in the government of the former country. Tho vessels will not be expected to interfere in the trouble between the countries except in so far as may be necessary for tho protection of American interests and to afford a place of refuge to American citizens in case it should be required. No serious trouble Is thought probable between Salvador and Guatemala, and it is believed be-lieved the strained relations now existing exist-ing between them, will become more cordial after a day or two of reflection. i . |
