Montreal, July l2.-Du Bose, late
secretary of the Spanish legation al
Washington, and Lieut.. Carranza,
military attachee, will leave Montreal
tonight by the Dominion steamer OF
toman at the urgent and repeated re-
quest Of the Dominion government.
The government wished the Spaniards
TO leave three or four weeks ago, but
the capias in the Kellert case was not
quashed until June 80, and on that
day Premier Laurier telegraphed, urg-
Ing that the departure should take
place Saturday, July 2. The same day
he wrote the St. Pierre counsel for
Du Bose and CarranZa to the same eff
feet, officially insisting upon the de-
parture of his clients. After stating
that he had been furnished by Julian
Pauncefote with a Photographic copy
of the stolen letter, the premier con-
tinued: "Carranza's letter unequiv-
ocally states that he had been left in
Canada to receive and send kilograms
and to look after the spy system he
was then establishing. The action of
Carranza is a violation of the laws of
the land and l have therefore to re-
quest Carranza to leave the country
| have to make the same request of
Du Bose, who from evidence in our
hands, is an accomplice in the estab
lishment of the spy service"
When the premier's letter was COM
municated to Du Bose he said the pre-
mier's accusation that he was con-
nected with the establishing of a spy
system was a grave one and that the
premier, at a future date, will have
to prove the correctness of the asser-
ton. Du Bose, on July 2, expressed
his intention of leaving by the next
steamer on the Dominion line, leaving
July 9. He was unable to obtain pas
sage on her, and so decided to sail
on the Dominion freighter Ottoman.
