The Letter.

WASHINGTON. June 4.-Chief Wiikie,
Of the United States Treasury Secret
Service. to-day made public the letter
which was recently written by Dr. Car
rama. former naval attache Of the Span
tsh legation I'm Washington. now in
Montreal. 10 a party I'm the Office Of the
sp1nlsn Minister of Marine at Madrid
and secured by Mr.. wilkes operatives
and brought 10 Washington.
The official here don't know who senior
Imay Is. TO whom the letter is address
ed. but they believe he Is a high official Of
the Spanish marine office.
The letter was received here about one
week ago. but for public reasons It has
been withheld until to-day. Copies this
morning were furnished 10 the President.
the Secretary OF the Treasury. and the
Secretary OF State and 10 Is altogether
probable that action will be Immediately
taken 10 secure the instant departure OF
the Spanish contingent from Canadian
soil.
SENSATIONAL DISCLOSURES.
The letter is Of the most sensational
character and disclOses the very elabO-
rate suV system Wulch mas Dten con-
Quoted Ina this country In the interest Of
Spain. Since their departure from this
city Chief wilkes agents have been full
~ cognlZant Of every move Of tho
spaniards. and for the last several weeks
he has had agents employed I'm the
house where they lodged, and nothing OF
interest has apparently escaped their
vigilance.
The letter. however was secured by
an operative who called at the house In
the capacity of a health officer. while Mr..
Carranza was at dinner The letter was
found on his table addressed for mailing.
II was handed by this man 20 another

instantly started with IL TO Washington.
The marty under suspicion in Montreal

the letter never having been in the house

Chief Will1ie regards IL as one Of the
best pieces OF detective work ever done.
The letter IS as follows:

A POPULAR CANDIDATE.
Hon. NJ. G. Watson, of Town, VIII Again
Seek Senatorial Honors.

Seek Senatorial Honors.
Sometime ago we made mention that many
leading Democrats in this district had pre-
vailed upon ex-senator NJ. c. Watson, of
town, to allow the use of his name in con-
nectiOn with the Democratic nomination for
Senator, Mr.. Watson has given the matter
mature delberation, and has finally con
sented to accede to the wishes of the party
leaders and a large number of voters to be-
come candidate for the position he so ably
| filled several years ago.
Mr. Watson is no stranger to the voters of
the Thirteth district, and as their represen-
tatiye in the State Senate made a record to
which he can point with pride. Although a
| lifelong Democrat, he is liberal in his views
and has almost as many personal and po-
litical friends in the ranks of the Republican
party as he has in the one he has always
affiliated with. This is made plain from the
comment made upon his candidacy.
There is very little doubt but that he will
receive the Democratic nomination with ap-
parently no opposition Should the party
fail to take advantage of SO popular nOmi-
nation, there is a well defined movement
among Republican leaders to nominate Mr..
Watson on the Republican ticket, and his
election would be a foTegone conclusion This
would certainly be Stealing the enemy's
thunder" The Democratic convention will
be held first, and the Republicans will have
the advantage of profting by Il mistake of
this kind on the part Of the Democracy.
1t is not at all probable, however, that the
Democrats will give their opponents this op-
portunity. The sentiment in favor of Mr.
Watson is already cristalizing to such an ex-
tent that insures his nomination by his own
party ON July II. Without regard TO political
affiliations it is freely acknowledged that
this district has never been repres nted in so
able a manner since Mr.. Watson sat in the
Senate chamber. He was certainly the true
friend of labor, and will again guard their
interests.
