rooms.
senior Du Bose intimated his position
10 Mir. 81. Pierre in a letter, in which he
stated;
Upon my part / am naturally most
anxious 10 avoid anything which might
cause friction or ill-feeling between the
government of my country and that of
canada, at whatsoever Inconvenience
personally and financial loss so sudden a.
departure must necessarily cause me. as
is within your personal cognizance. l will
unhesitatingly comply with the wishes or
the Canadian Government as soon as
these wishes shall be officially made
known 70 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 of civil
law. AT the present moment 1 will take
no legal steps in vindication Of those
rights which such action on the part of
the Canadian Government would undoubt-
edly violate, for the reason which | have
stated above. At the same time / ex-
pressly reserve TO myself the right TO
take such steps when l may be able TO do
so without creating a certain amount of
international friction. which would pro-
badly be the case If l should do so at the
present time.
Without entering into the merits of the
case, L may mention that no ATTEMPT.
even beyond vague newspapers r,lmors
mas been made TO connect me with the
letter stolen from Mr.. Carranza and
whose alleged contents apparently form
the base upon which my expulsion from
Canada is founded. The notorious in
justice Of this persecution would only be
too clear to your brilliant and legal intel
lect."
THE GOVERNMENT URGENT.
10 leave at once. but the capias secured
by Detective Kellert was not quashed UNI
I'll June 30th, and on that day Sir Wilfred
Laurier telegraphed, urging that the de-
parture should take place on Saturday
July %. The same day he wrote Mr. St
Pierre to the same effect, officially insist
ing upon the departure OF his client
After stating that he had been furnish
ed by Sir Julian Pauncefote with a pho.
ffoy ], IL ff he toll, IL
continued:
"The letter of Senior 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 establishing.
THE action of SeIor Carranza is vio-
lation Of the laws Of the land. and have
therefore 10 request Senior Carranza to
leave this country. / have to make the
same request of Senior Du Bose, who. from
evidence in our hands, is an accomplice
in the establishment OF the spy service
which was organized by Senior Carranza."
Mr. g. Pierre communicated the Pre-
miers letter TO Senior Du Bose, and re-
ceived a reply on July 3D. stating that
they would sail on the next steamer of
the Dominion Line. In this letter, Du
Bose wrote:
CARRANZA'S WORD OF HONOR"
Il must, however. emphatically protest
against the second paragraph of Sir Will
freds letter, in which he states that the
Secretary Of State Of the United States Of
America has given communication 10 Sir
Julian Pauncefote. her Majesty'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
his hands d Photographic copy of the
same, which Sir Julian has transmitted
TO the Canadian Government. This is
completely false. Mr.. CarranZa has given
me his word of honor that the only letter
stolen thus far from him is a private one,
addressed to Mr.. Gomez Inez, a relation
OF his, employed in the Navy Department
at Madrid This statement of Mr.. Car
ranza's is corroborated by the alleged
translation Of the letter, which L have
seen published In the newspapers.
THE SPY SYSTEM.
Further on in his communication Sir
Wilfred Laurier permits himself TO as
sert that from evidence in our hands
Senior Du Bose, is an accomplice in the
establishment Of the spy system when
was ORGANIZED by Senior Carranza.' This
is = grave accusation. and one when
should not be legally made by response
HE statesman. 1t Is incumbent upon Sir
Wilfred to prove the correctness or his
written accusation upon future occa-
sion.
CAS- regards the statement contained In
Sir Wilfred Laurer's letter that the ac-
ton OF Senior CarranZa is a violation OF
the laws of the land L can only say that
