rDMlTS HE WROTE LETTER
fcwcUenham to Re Rebuked for In
sulting Language to lavls.
LONDON, Jan. K.-The Colonial Office
Tiow has official advices from Sir Alex
ander Swettenham. Governor of Jamaica,
concerning the exchange of letters be
tween himself and Rear-Admlral Davis.
This is the extent of the advices, how
ever, and whether they contain an ex-
ianatlon. an apology or extenuating- cir
cumstances, has not been disclosed.
H .appeaii that the imperial authorities
requested the Governor of Jamaica to
send them a copy of his letter to Itear
Admlral Iavls. This now has been fur
nished, and it shows that the letter as
Rent out by the Associated Press was to'
alt intent and purposes, a correct cony.
Jt fs learned that the Secretary for tlie
Colonies, Lord 21 gin, sent a second cable-
mm to Governor Swettenham asking
nlm o gi-e his version of the affair, and
to this, the ForelRn Office informed the
Associated Press tonight, no answer ' has
ye been received.
. John R. Garter. American Charge.
called at the FVireign Office tonight and
received the same explanation of the sit
uation as was given the Associated Press.
The fact tliat Governor Swettenham
wrote the letter to Rear-Admlral Davis
having been established, there remains
my to determine the official formalities,
and the indications are that the matter
will be handled through the usual diplo-
Vnatlc channels and that the correspond
ence will be made public In a blue book.
. Discussion of the incident shows that
the British views make a clear differentia
tion between Governor SwettenhanVs op
position to the presence of a foreign force
oh Jamaican soil and his manner of ex
pressing this opposition. What Is con-
demned is the tone of the letter to Rear
Admiral Davis, the Foreign Office having
declared that there was "no excuse for
such language from an official to an offi
cer of a friendly nation engaged in a.
work of 'humanity," and the press and
public are adopting a substantially glm-
-Iar view. But on the question whether or
not Governor Swettenham was Justified in
asking Rear-Admiral Davis to withdraw
the armed forces from the inland British
opinion Inclines that Governor Swetten
ham acted clearly within his rights, al
though many persons contend that the
abnormal conditions should have Induced
the Governor to waive the usual require-
ments.
The fdt& prevails that
as m n outcome of the r
Jamaica, mey modify the plans under
ttiloh th .West Indies were almost aban-
doned is a naval station. It (s suggested
that Jamaica mlfrht -be made a strong
naval station attached to an efTectlve and

enoe ein devise some plan for the distri
bution of the financial responnlbtllty for
naval defense throughout the empire.
The Tribune recently nag teen promot
ing the dispatch of a relief ship to King
ston. Jamaica, and a large number of
British firms have contributed necessary
supplies of all kinds to the enterprise.
M Elgin lias now written to inform the
Tribune that he is assured by Sir Alex
ander flwet t e rvh a m that ample supolles of
alt sorts, with Vie exception of buildlng-
raatertals, are now available at Kingston,
and that, therefore, while he heartily
thanks the generous donors of these aup-
plles. he does not think It necessary to
send Flirt ti - r contributions.
Th Tribune this morning; In a, testy edi
torial article says It thinks the Governor
Jamaica is too independent and that
the responsibility of suspending the work
of relief at Kingston must rest with Gov
ernor Swettenham and the Colonial or-
flee.

Bacon Writes Final letter Orretl

WASHINGTON, Jan. 23. The President
has finally dismissed the incident con

flwettenham of aid from Admiral Davis,
as is shown In -the following letter, ma. tie
public at the State Department today,
addressed by Acting Secretary Bacon to
Charge Howard, of the British Embassy:
I have the honor to icknowladc the re

you communicate the substance of the in

Grey In reference to the Jamaican Incident.
I hasten to assure you that, on behalf of
the President, his government will pay no
heed whatever to the matter, and very
much appreciate the frank and ready cour
tesy and consideration shown in this dis
patch by Sir Edward Grey.
1 can only repeat to you, in this more
formal way, what I said to you personally
last evening, assuring you of the President's
appreciation of the cordial spirit shown by
your government. It is trratl Tying to the

NEW YORK. Jen. 23. The Kingston dis
patch to the Xierald under date of Jan
uary 17, In reporting the arrival of the
battleships Missouri and Indiana ana the
prompt manner In which the American
sailors started the work of relief, says:
4,Like great birds sending forth a brood,
they lowered and dispatched their boats
and one hastened to every point where
the signals of the Whipple told the com
mander of the fleet that doctors, food and
help were needed. One boat carried an
officer to Colonial Secretary Bourne, who
said:
Ve offer men to police the streets,
bury the dead, recover and attend the
wounded : send rations for 6000 for a
month, with terns and cots for 6000, as
lonsr as needed.'
"The Colonial Secretarv srflsnerl nn1
emmed and tiawed. while the staff
gasped twice. The offer was taken under
consideration and later accepted, as to
the men to police the streets. As I am
preparing this dispatch, every available
bluejacket and marine is embarking to
put oft to shore, but from the attitude of
the men In power behind the Governor,
and from the vacillating nature of the
government. I feel sure that their powers
may be brief. The first British vessel
that arrives will see American services
declined with reluctant thanks.
For the res f dents of all nationalities,
the American officers did everything in
their power. Women who had not in two
days known a place of repose for the first
time were taken on board the battleships
at once and fed and given every attention
and comfort. "A. boatload of coppers full
of coffee, tinned meats of several sorts,
cakes of all kinds and even extra clothing
were at the dock In half an hour, and the
gloom and misery - of the wretched had
vanished within a twinkling."

SACRAMENTO. Cal., Jan. 23. The
Assembly "has passed concurrent reso
lution No. 9, Instructing: the Attorney-
General, to represent the state in the
suit brought by the Federal Govern
ment Jn the ITnlted States Circuit Court
on the Japanese school question. The
resolution carries an appropriation of
$10,003 for the employment of special
counsel to assist in representing; the

Assemblyman Grove X. Johnson, au
thor Gt the resolution, addressed the
Assembly when the resolution came up
as the special order. He arraigned
President Roosevelt for that r r t of
his message referring to the San Fran-J
cisco senooi question ana ior nis enure
course in the matter. The Federal Gov-
-ernment. he charged, waa attempting;
to inmnge on the rights or the state.
He said:

The trade of the Orient Is their song. Be
fore the Rebellion, it yaa "we'll lose the
trade of the South." Let the trade of the
Orient go. buV let us preserve the right of
the Statex of California to settle Its own
school question. '
If the fresident has his way, the state
will become a mere province of a centralized
power and the dream of Alexander Hamil
ton will become true. Courts very rarely
decide against their own Jurisdiction. It Is
my experience as a lawyer for 40 years that
the courts fear the power that appoints
them. In the United States Supreme Court,

velt in particular, has an ally, and this body

WASHINGTON. Jan.' ZUThls was a
day of oratory in the House, the pension
appropriation to 1 11 affording; an oppor
tunity to a number of Representatives to
make speeches, not only In behalf of the
WU Itself, but on the tariff and on the
San Francisco school -Incident. On the
latter subject, Hayes of California ln-
sisted that all California' desired was to
be permitted to continue American, and
that the Chinese exclusion law should be
made to apply to Japanese coolies.
Grosvenor of Ohio occupied an hour
and a half In a discussion of the tariff.
Crumpacker of Indiana and Taylor of .
Ohio spoke on pension, lea-islation of a
general character, both having bills be-
lore the pension committee tending to
broaden the scope "of the existing pension
law-. Without reaichlnir the, pension ap
propriation bill under the llve-mlnute
rule, trie House at 4;45 P, M, adjourned.
Hayes Resents Threat.
Wayies In- his speech said:
Since San Francisco and California, in
this hmm school matter! have only fol-
lowed established and lonar-approved prece
dents, what crime has California committed
to deserve the -threat of th President of the
United eutes to arna againPt her people The
armed forces of the United States Her sole
ofTense Is that she is strong in the deterinln.
atlon to maintain within her borders the
civilisation of the Caucasian race; her only
crime Is that she Is trying to go forward
lth the working out of the National and
social and moral ideas or our fatlters and
1" sendlnir out a strong cry against the
Orientalizing of the Pacific Coast by the eons
of Nippon or any other Asiatic immigrants.
He contended that San Francisco and
California had a perfectly leral and
proper right to do what they had done
in segregating the native born children
of Oriental descent.
Hawaii a Horrible Example.
"The people -of California feel no hatred
or japan as a nation or of the Japanese
coolies who have. Wen lately coming into
their state in large numbers." he said.
He pointed to Hawaii as an example of
what might come to the Paoirtc Coast,
should the Japanese be permitted to en-
ter the schools of ti? country alongside
white children. "All "that seems to re
main to be done." he declared, "to make
these islands a Japanese1 volpny is to pull
down the stars and stripes apd hoist the
flaer of Japan." an utteraniSa which
called out a round ot applause. He con
cluded: TV ' ' ' f
e ask that the Chines exclusion act
hall be extended to embrace Japanese and
all oth-r Asiatic laborers. The Asiatic cooll
Is the lcey to the situation. On the laborer
rests the Oriental industrial structure, just
as It does everywhere. Exclude the labor and
other conditions to which we object will
correct themselves.
