FRANCE Is EXCuLPAIED.

Fort de France, Island of Martinique.
May 16.-The manager here Of the French
Gable company explicitly denies the state
ment that dispatch filed by Captain Cot
ton of the United States auxiliary cruiser
Harvard was delayed "a hours at st. Pierre
this island.
The manager explains the matter as fol-
lows:
Captain Cotton presented himself at the
Office fine company at st. Pierre and
asked by what cable line cables were trans
mtted TO Washington. When he was in
formed that such messages went via Fort
de France and Hayi he refused to give US
his dispatch because a Spanish torpedo
boat was at that time at Port de France.
Not taking into account professional sec
recy, he told the American consul in the
presence Of NJ. la Lung under these cir
cumstances he preferred to give his dis
patch to the English comptny, in spite of
the delay of "a hours which they hive to
submit to on account of accumulation of
business on the lines of that company. I
protested against the statement made, as
we leave our office open till midnight or 1
o'clock 1 nthe morning when necessary.
whilethe West India company closes at 6
o'clock in the evening. local time, and also
because we do everything possible to be
agreeable to the American government,
forwarding its messages very rapidly
when we have any.
81 have obtained the following state
ment on the subject, signed by the United
States consul at st. Pierre and by Cap
tain Cotton of the Harvard:
To whom it may concern: certify
that the agent fthe French company at
