THAT CARRANZA LETTER
Trial Of Bell at Montreal Is Believed to B,
a Farce.
THE SPANlARD NOW ATTEMPTS TRlCKERl
In mn Endenvor to Relieve HimseIf
of Blame and to Collect Damages
from Britain.


! Washington, August 4-Offlcials OF the
government are watching with keen inter-
est the progress of the trial of George f
Bell In Montreal, Canada, on the charge
OF stealing the famous Carranza letter In
May, 1898. 1t Will be recalled that the
letter In question was written by Lieuten-
ant Carranza, who was an attache of the
Spanish legation in Washington when war
against Spain was declared by this coun-
try, and who went to Montreal to conduct
a system Of espionage in behalf OF his gov-
eminent. In the communication, which
Spanish navy department, Carranza made
the damaging statement that he was man
aging bureau Of spies, and moreover he
volunteered some severe criticism of Ad-
miral Camara and other important naval
officers OF his country, On representa-
tion made by our government, Carranza
and his cohorts were expelled from Canada
by the British authorities, and now comes
the sequel.
Ralph Redfern is the man who secured
Carranza's discriminating communication,
according to Chief Wllkle of the United
States secret service. But recently Mon-
treal man, George r. Bell, made a public
voluntary confession that he had stolen
the letter. He declared that the one In
the possession OF our government was
forged. and that the damaging portions OF
Il were inserted by our secret service men.
Bell is defended by II. C. St. Pierre a
attorney. who also represented
Carranza last year. St. Pierre is occupy
ing a paradoxlcal position. in that he as
serted in open court that he believed his
client guilty. This astonishing situation
has puzzled Washington officials. but to-
day they received information which fur
nishes evidence to the effect that the
entire proceeding is but the first chapter
Of plot Matched by Carran2a.
II seems that the Spanish lieutenant
has filed a claim for damages against the
British government for his expulsion from
Canada last year. He believes, 1t is |
hought, that If Bell is convicted, it will |
be long step toward establishing the |
OF the letter which Rcd |
ern purloined and generating him Gar
'anza) of declaring he was spy and of |
high officials in Madrid. for
which he may be degraded and severely
punished. Moreover Bells conviction
would tend to furnish basis for the lieu
enant's recovery of damages from Great
Britain. Unless the farce now in progress
n Montreal is exposed there seems to be
chance that most interesting interna-
ional law suit will soon follow. In that
went, the United States government will
,e prepared to prove that 1t has Carranza's
etier in its possession, and that Bell is an
dventurer, who may be willing to be
cnvcted of misdemeanor for purpose
est known to himself.
