ana have therefore to request Senior Car
ranna to lsave this country. I have to
make the same request of Senior du Bose.
Who. from evidence In our 1anda, II an
accomplice In the establishment of the spy
service which was organised by Senior
Carranza."
Mr.. st. Pierre communicated the pre-
mSerss letter TO Senior siu Bose and received
ON July q letter stating that they would
sail ON the next steam er of the Dominion
line. In this letter he wrote:
II must, however, alphabetically protest
against the second paragraph Of Sir Will
fsld'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 hnajesty's ambas-
sador at Washington, of the original let
ter addressed by Senior Carranza from
Montreal on the 26th of May last to the
Spanish minister of marine and placed In
hin hands Photographic copy OF the same
which Sir Julian has transmitted to
the Canadian government. This Is
completely false. Mr.. Carran1a has given
me his word Of honor that the only letter
stolen thus far from him is private one,
addressed to Mr.. Gomez Inez relative OF
his, employed in the navy department at
Madrid. This statement Of Mr.. Carranza
h corroborated by the alleged translation
Of the letter which I have seen published
In the newspapers.
"Further in his communication Sir VIII
frid permits himself to assert that from
evidence in your hands. Senior Du Bose is
an accomplish In the establishment of spy
service which was organized by Senior
Carranza.'
Threatens the Minister
"This is a grave accusation, and one
which should not be legally made by re-
spunsible statesman. 1t will be incumbent
upon Sir Wilfrid to prove the correctness OF
his written accusation upon q future oc-
casion.
~As regards the statement made in Sir
Wilfrid Laurier's letter that the action
of Senior Carranzat Is a violation of the
laws of the land can only say that Sir
Wilfrid Laurier is equally mistakendn his
law and his facts.
1.-The only SPY organization of which !
have cognizance is that with which the
government of the United States has sur
rounded and logged me since l have been
in Canada. OF this there 10 ample proof,
which l shall be delighted to submit to Sir
Wilfrid whenever he may so desire.
Criticising the United tates
within my own comparatively short Of
oeial career there have been three separate
occasions upon which the government OF
the United States has utilized private let
terra az the means of diplomatic represen-
tations.
I'm 1883 the publication OF private letter
mi
Lord sackvilie, then her majesty's minister
at Washington, caused the retirement OF
that distinguished diplomat.
Another private letter, stolen from the
post and published in the United States, was
officially used by the state department at
Washington to compel the retirement of the
late Spanish minister, De LONE.
FINALLY, the present alleged and stolen
letter written by friend OF mine, Is en-
ployed al means of causing nay expulsion
from Canadian soil.
"What confidence or credence can be
placed in the representations Of govern
ment where diplomacy is based upon the
utilization of criminal acts, leave 10 the
consideration Of Sir Wilfrid Laurier and
the Canadian government
Want Them to Get Out
Some delay occurred In the arrival of
this letter at Ottawa, and the government
At once became uneasy. kilograms passed
to and fro. Sir Wilfrid Laurier inquired
anxiously, HAS party left?"
The party had not left Senior Du Bose,
on July 2, expressed his intention to leave
by the next steamer OF the Dominion line,
leaving July 9. He was unable to do so
because he could not obtain passage on her,
and Mr. Torrance wrote to the government
to the effect that there was not berth va
cant. AS the government was SO insistent,
however, Senior Du Bose decided to sail on
the Dominion steamer Ottoman.
