Washington, and transmitted to Gov

parture with Stensland without any Of
the delay that had been anticipated.
Mr.. Gummere cabled that the Sultan

necessary formalities. probably will

return trip will be made on regular
liner, plying between Gibraltar and
New York.
Assistant secretary OF STATE Bacon,
Washington dispatch reports, will
arrange for the vessel to go to Tan.
gier on it's way to New York.
"As Gibraltar is British soil and
Stensland is returning willingly" Mr..
Barbour explains, there will be no
danger of delay through technicalities
in transferring him there to the liner
presume that the request to the sui
tan for Stensland's removal will be ca
bled on the arrival of Mr.. Binns. He
goes armed with letter giving him au-
thority in the name of States Attorney
Healy to act for this office and to go
to any part of the world that Mr.. Adee
may send him. The naming af Mr..
Olson, however, as the governments
messenger, will render it unnecessary
