WASHINGTON, 6th December.
President Hoover has ordered the Marines to be held in readiness to be sent immediately to Haiti, where disorders have necessitated the establishment of martial law by the American authorities. Seventy Marines are already there, and tho High Commissioner, Brigadier-General Russell, reported that the invocation of martial law had had a quieting effect at Port au Prince and Cape Haitian, but the authorities were apparently still worried over further developments in the situation resulting from the Haitian students' strike, which had spread to industrial and .civil employees. Disorder among the Customs House strikers had resulted in injury to two American officials.
