Only Because He Wishes to Avoid
International FrictiOn-Threatens
10 Bring HetaIiatory Legal Pro-
ceedings.
Montreal, July u.-Senor Dubosc. late
secretary of the Spanish legation at
Washington, and Lieut.. Carranza, mill
tary attache, will leave Montreal to-mor-
row night by the Dominion steamer Otto
man, at the urgent and repeated request
of the dominion government.
The request was conveyed through N. c.
st. Pierre, Q. c., who was counsel for
Messrs. Dubosc and Carranza in the liti-
cation following upon the arrest of De-
tective kellert on a charge of stealing a
letter from Lieut.. Carranzas rooms.
Senior Dubosc intimated his position to
Mr. st. Pierre in a letter. in which he
stated; Upon my part I am naturally
most anxious to avoid anything which
might cause friction or i'll Feeling between
the government of my country and that
of Canada, at whatsoever inconvenience
and financial loss which so sudden a de
parture must necessarily cause me, as
within your personal cognizauce.
i will sunhesitatingly comply with the
wishes OF the Canadian government as
soon as its wishes shall be officially made
known to me- This will not imply that 1
recognize the right of the Canadian or
BRUSH government to so proceed, either
on the ground of international or civil law.
At the present moment l will take no
legal steps in vndication of these rights.
which such action on the part of the Ca
madam government would undoubtedly vi
olate for the reason which 1 have stated
above
AT the same time, I expressly reserve
to myself the right to take such steps
when I may be able to do so without Gre
ating certain amount of international
friction, which would probably be the
case If / should do so al the present time.
without entering into the merits of the
case may mention no attempt beyond
the vague rumors which have been made
10 connect ME with the letter stolen from
Mr. Carranza, ana whose alleged contents

expulsion from Canada is founded

hant and legal intelligence"
Inc government wished the Spaniards to
T edVe at once, but the capias secured by
detective Kellert was nol quashed until

Laurler telegraphed urging that The de.
Parture should take place on Saturday
