MONTREAL, July 11.-Senor Du Bose,
late secretary of the Spanish legation at
Washington, and Lieutenant Carranza.
military attache, will leave Montreal to-
morrow night by the Dominion steamer
Ottoman. at the urgent and repeated re-
quest of the Dominion government The
request was conveyed through Mr. N c.
ST Pierre, Q. c., who was counsel for
Messrs. Du Bose and Carranza, in the liti-
cation following on the arrest of Detective
Kellert. on a charge of stealing a letter
from Lieutenant Carranza's ROOM On June
Mr.. st. Pierre received from the solicitor
general an urgent summons to Ottawa. In
an interview with the members of the gov
ernment, he was Informed that the United
States objected to the presence of his clients
in Canada, and the Dominion govern
nent wished, with as little fuss and
trouble as was possible, to induce them
to leave Mr.. st. Pierre replied that moth
ing could be done so long as the money OF
his clients in the Bank of Montreal was
held under the capias issued at the instance
of Detective Kellert, but that when their
money was released he would see what
they had to say about going He returned
" AhOAliCoi ciil COHSulltu his Clients.
Senor Du Bose intimated his position to
Mr.. ST. Pierre, in letter, in which he
stated: Upon my part, L am naturally
most anxious to avoid anything which
might cause friction or ill-feelng between
the government of my country and that of
Canada at whatsoever personal inconveni-
ence and financial loss. which so sudden de-
parture must necessarily cause me, as is
within VoIIr nareonol coppizanna will
unhesitatingly comply with the wishes of
the Canadian government as soon as these
wishes shall be officially made known to
me. This will not imply that l recognize
the right of the Canadian or British gov
ernment to SO proceed, either on the ground
of international or civil law. At the present
moment L will take no legal steps in vindi-
cation of these rights, which such action on
the part of the Canadian government would
undoubtedly violate, for the reason which
have stated above. At the same time I ex-
pressly reserve to myself the right to take
such steps when l may be able to do so
without creating certain amount of in
ternational friction. which would probably
be the case if should do so at the present
time.
WILL BE HEARD FROM AGAIN.
Without entering into the merits of the
case, | may mention that no attempt even
beyond vague newspaper rumors has been
made to connect me with the letter stolen
from Mr.. Carranza, and whose alleged con-
tents form apparently the basis on which
my expulsion from Canada is founded The
notorious injustice of this persecution Will
be only too clear to your brilliant and legal
intelligence AS / have already stated, my
acquiescence in these arbitrary proceedings
without a present legal struggle which could
only result in my being authorized to enjoy
that British hospitality which is an in
variable tradition to extend to all foreign
ers who observe the laws of the land, is not
to be taken as an abdication of rights
which upon future and fitting occasion 1
shall promptly vindicate.'
The government wished the Spaniards to
leave at once, but the capias was not
quashed until June 60 and on that very day
Sir Wilfred Laurier telegraphed, urging
that the departure should take place on
Saturday. July 2 The same Gay he wrote
Mr.. st. Pierre to the same effect, officially
insisting upon the departure of his client.
After stating that he had been furnished
by Mr.. Julian Pauncefote with a photo
graphic copy of the stolen letter, he con-
tinued:
"The letter of Senor Carranza unequivo-
cally states that he has been left in Canada
to receive and send kilograms and to look
after the spy system he was then establish
ing The action of Senior Carranza Is a
violation of the laws of the land and / have
therefore to request Senior Carranza TO
leave this country 1 have to make the
same request of Senior Du Bose who. from
evidence i'm our fands, is an accomp!ice in
the establishment of the spy service, which
was organized by Senor Carrarza.''
ANOTHER PROTEST.
Mr.. st. Pierre communicated the premier's
letter to Senior Du Bose and received a reply
on July 2, stating that they would sail on
the next steamer of the Dominion line In
this letter he wrote:
II must, howevec, emphatically protest
against the second paragraph of Sir Will
frid's letter, in which he states that the
secretary Of state of the United States OF
America has given communication to Sir
Julian Pauncefote, her Majesty's ambassa-
dor at Washington, of the original letter
addressed by Senor Carranza from Mont-
real. on the 18th of May last, to the Span
sh minister of marine and placed in iis
hands Photographic copy of the same
which Sir Julian has transmitted to the
Canadian government This is completely
false. Mr.. CarranZa has given me mis- word
OF honor that the only letter stolen thus
far from hirn is private one addressed 10
Mr.. Gomez Inez. a relation of his. employed
in the navy department al Madrid. This
statement nf Mr. Carranza is corroborated
by the alleged translation of the letter which
/ have seen published in the newspapers.
Further on in his communication Sir VIII
frid Laurier permits himself TO assert that
From evidence In our hands, Senior Du
Bose is an accompliee In the establishment
of spy service, which was organized ~
