tiNns are so obviously hostile to the
iinited States. This, however, may
become unnecessary, II the Spanish Of
0cI,Is withdraw from Canada, for
there appears to be no disposition 10
prosecute them, or to give them an en-
forced expulsion, so long as they are
willing 10 close their operations and
depart. The British statutes, as well
as those of Canada, have specific pro-
visions against the use of British or
canadian territory by foreigners tenn
porarlly seeking asylum there as the
base Of hostile operations against
countries with which Great Britain
and her colonies are at peace.
About a week ago an effort was made
by the Spanish ofiilals to enlist the
sympathy of the British embassy here
with an alleged British subject impris-
oned at Tampa, who, 1t is believed, Is
the Spanish spy alluded to in Lieut.
Ca ranza's letter. A Canadian lawyer
arrived here last Sunday and made a
PERSONAL appeal to Sir Julian Paunce-
fote to Intervene in behalf of the man
Imprisoned at Tampa. There were
Suspicious circumstances connected
with the case, and before acting, the
ambassador asked for a specific state
ment of the case This was not forth
coming and the case was not pushed.
When the Carranza letter appeared,
eating that one of his spies had been
eight at Tampa 1t became apparent
IL the first time that the efforts to.
