HITCH IN THE CARRANzA CASE.
His Denial of the Translation Of His Letter
Causes "A Delay

Washington. June 7.-Lieutenant Car
ranza and Senor du Bose, who are con-
Quoting their Spanish operations from
Montreal, have succeeded in obtaining
brief respite from expulsion through
the denial by Carranza of the accuracy
OF certain features Of the letter at
trtbuted TO him. The British authorities
acted on the assumption that the trans
lation of the Carranza letter was cor
rect, and that thus there was no doubt
that the Spanish officials were using
Canada as base for hostile action
against the United States. But since a
question is raised as to the accuracy of
the translation no step is likely to be
taken toward a forcible expulsion until
the translation is established as cor
rect.
The British authorities have been
ready from the outset TO act on any well
established case. but the expulsion of a
foreigner is such a serious matter that
II Is said no such step would be proper
while the evidence was open to oues-
ton. The Carranza denial raises a
question of veracity which can be readi-
ly settled by the production of the
original letter.
