Dispatches exchanged lLetween the British secretary of state for war and the state department, wholly ignoring the letters which passed between Ad- miral Davis and Governor Swetten- bam at Kingston, have had the effect of relieving the teusity of feeling which had existed since it became known that Admiral Davis had return. ed to Guantanamo from Kingston with his ships which had gone to ald the stricken people of Jamaica, The message from London is Inter- preted here as meaning that the Brit- ish government and people disavow the action of the governor of Jamaica in requesting .Admiral Davis to em- bark his men. Meantime Admiral Davis, who has arrived at Guantanamo from Kingston with the battleships Missouri and In- diana and the cruiser Yankton, Is pre- paring & report, which will be forward: od to Washington by mall. The subject was regarded as cone of such delicacy that it was deemed advisable to send it in this manner rather than by wire less telegraphy. But it has been al ready anticipated here Ly the publica. tion of the correspondence between Ad- miral Davis and Governor Swetten- ham. While the general sentiment here was one of extreme resentment at the treatment of Admiral Davis, there was no official who would venture to ex- press himself in criticism for publica- tion. Acting Secretary of State Bacon was un early caller at the White House, where he was In conference with the president, and later it devel oped that the president took the posi- tion that there was nothing in the epi: sode which would warrant the slight- est representations by this government on the subject, and uo representations will be made The promptuess with which the gov. ernment acknowledged its appreciation of the sending of the ships to Jamaica Is Indicated In the following corre spondence which passed between Sec retary Root aud Esme Howard, the British charge here, just made public. Mr. Root's letter says: “May 1 ask you fo cable directly to the goveruor of Jamaica an expression of deep aud sincere sympathy which the people of the Unitid States feel for the people of Juwalcn In their great misfortunes. And can you also ascer- tain and luform me whether the situa: tion In Jamaica is such that the people are in need of supplies or assistance of any kind which we can send from our paval station at Guantanamo? If there #8 anything that we can do to relleve or prevent distress our navy depart ment will be most happy to do It, and Guantanamo Is so pear to Kingston that perhaps early relief may be af forded from there.” To this Mr. Howard! rep’! 1 as fol lows: “1 have the bona t6 “ou you 1 at 1 bave been instructed hy bis ma jes ty's principal secretary of state for foreign alfaips to express the Ligh ap preciation of his majesty’s government At the prompt assistance rendered by the United States government in the teh of their ships to Jamalea to ald to the stricken people.” the state department i was stated .

Feeling In Britain Is One of Utter Pain and Hegre! at Treatment of Admiral Davis—Note Bit. terly Dencuncved. LONDON, Jan ZI Dispatches say that the colonial office is still without an explanation from Sir Alexander Swettenham, the governor of Jamaica, of the situation which lad to the with drawal of Hear Admiral Davis’ war ships from Kingston After conferences of officiels of the foreign and colouinl offices at London the colonial office cabled to Governor Swettenham asking him for his ver sion of the situation which led to the withdrawal of Rear Admiral Davis’ warships {rom Kingston. Goveruor Swettenham has cabled asking the British government to con vey to the government of the United States the thanks of the nation for the American assistance rendered by Rear Aduiiral Davis at Kingston, aud For eign Secretary Sir Edward Grey in for warding this message to Washington with the thanks of the Imperial govern ment well expresses the feeling of the government and the nation on this sub ject. Furthermore, War Secretary Haldane ou behalf of the war office has taken aA quite unusual course and one ind! cative of the exceptional importance of the occasion by addressing ‘a dis patch to Secretary Root which Indirect. ly Implies censure of the governor of Jamaica. It will thus be seen that practically all the ministers are adopting a highly appreciative and correct attitude to ward the Unite! States, and It cannot be doubted but that the incident will be settled, probably by the recall of Governor Swettenham or at least dis avowal of his action and apology to Rear Admiral Davis While the foreign office naturally Is reluctant In the absence of fuller Infor mation to pass judgment on the affair, officials of the foreign office do not hes itate In agreeing that under no con celvable circumstances should such a letter as Governor Swettenham's to Rear Admiral Davis been written, and they declare that even the stress of re cent events Is no excuse for such lan guage on the part of a governwent off cial to an officer of a friendly nation sogaged lo a work of humanity, The Standard reflects the prevailing view, as follows: “Perhaps trouble would be saved If we assumed forthwith that Rear Adm. ral Davis was a trifle too energetic and Governor Swettenham unduly tena clous of his prerogative.” In short, it Is held that nothing could excuse such an “amazing letter" ex cept the charitable view that the writer was suffering from nervous breakdown. The Daily Telegraph In a striking ed torial article says it Is Impossible to express in adequate words the sense of astonishment with which Englishmen read the extraordinary communication of Governor Swettenham to Rear Ad miral Davis. “We can as little hope,” the paper says, “to convey to the cit zens of the United States a just Im pression of the pain and utter regret with which national opinion on this side of the Atlantic regards one of the most deplorable and unintelligible Incl dents lu the record of Anglo Awerlcan history." A Kingstou dispatch says that the indignation of the residents of Jawal ca, both official and private citizens, at the action of Governor Swettenham in demanding the withdrawal by Admiral Davis of the relief forces ls spreading and intensifying.

WASHINGTON, Jao The Browusville affair was the sublect of controversy In the senate and few features of the spectacular were miss ing from the proceedings The debate began with the announce Md -— cratic senators together ou the basis of of the affray without bringing Inte to dismiss the negro troops. The reso lutiou had been previously submitted to and approved by the president at a conference with senators. When the “harmony” testimonials were all in Bepator Tillman took the floor and delivered a speech in reply to the recent criticism of himself by Sen ator Spooner. This speech began with a satirical picture of the senate as a minstrel show, which Mr. Tilman later sald was his first and last attempt to be “funny,” an attempt which at its coliclusion brought a stinging denun- ciation from Senator Carmack In re sentment of allusions te him Senator Spooner concluded a forty five minute speech with the assertion that the race question could only be settled npon the hasis of the enforce ment of the black man's right accord ing to the constitution. When the Wisconsin senator yielded the floor he was followed by Senator Carmack (Tenn), who took exception to Senator Tillman's remark about himself. He said that In all of his ex perience Io the senate he had never henrd a speech so studiously offensive as that of Mr Tillman. He referred to the fact that he had been Included in the South Carolina senator's crit lciam, saying that Mr. Tillman's stric tures on him had been without provo- cation. He sald, “It is with no feeling of resentment, 1 say with respect to some men, that It Is thelr inisfortune rather thau their fault that they do pot know how to speak the language of courtesy and good breeding.” This was preceded by a serious reply from Senator Spooner on the attitude taken by Mr. Tillman on the race prob lem, all finally resulting In a session of nearly two hours belilnd closed doors The secret session was followed by a brief open one in which Mr. Tillman made a profuse apology to Mr. Car mack, to all senators whom he had brought Into his “first essay in the line of humor’ and finally to the entire senate. “I very much regret that | ever undertook to be funny, and 1 will vever do so any more” Mr, Tillman then withdrew all he had sald in his “funny essay” and sald It would not appear in the Record. This apology was at once accepted by Mr. Carmack, who regretted he had questioned the motives of his friend and he, too, withdrew words he had uttered In protest. Mr. Foraker made a final attempt to get a vote on bis resolution, but objec tion wus made, and the matter will be taken up again today. Mr. Carmack remarked jocularly that there were not wore than fifteen or twenty senators desiring to talk, and Mr. Foraker, feigning seriousness, retorted hotly that the senator need not think the Democratic side of the chamber could monopolize the talking, Mr. Carmack explained that he was only trying to be funny, that It was his first attempt, and be would never minke another Looked For Gas Leak With Light.
