WASHINGTON, April 13.—The gravity of the situa- tion in Samoa was revealed this morning by the issu- ance of rush orders from the Navy Department to the commander of the Hartford to prepare for sea immedi- ately. The big ship is now undergoing some repairs at Mare Island. Itis proposed to send the Hartford to Samoa to reinforce Admiral Kautz. The Ranger, which is at Mare Island, may also be sent to Apia. The fact that England proposes to immediately in- crease her forces in Samoan waters by the addition of two warships is known to the administration here and today’s action is ficant of a determination on the part of the American pment totake an active part in punishing the Samoan rebels and at the same time to be prepared for any new developments which may occur. The Hartford will probably carry a considerable force of men to the scene of action, and three children, the eld ® of age.
