strongest reprobation of the attitude of
Governor Swettenham of Jamaica i'm

Der of the international arbitration
court at Paris upon the sinking of the
British fishing vessels in the North
sea by the Russian rect. practically
was decisive in shaping a decision IA
vorable to Great Britain.
Some phases of the arbitration were
not stated at the time, as they might
have proven irritating to Russia. 1t
is known that Admiral DAVIS staunch
support of the British contention turn
ed the scales at the decisive moment.
His views were accepted by the Aus
trian admiral, whose vote, with that of
the British member. Admiral BEAUMONT.
made a majority, which determined the
character of the final decision.
Declined Honor.
King Edward on the conclusion OF
the court communicated an invitation
through the British ambassador at
Paris, to Admiral Davis TO come to
palace, where marked
honors would have been shown him.
But the desire to avoid anything which
might be construed as wounding Russia
led Admiral Davis not to accept the
invitation.
1t is supposed that if Governor
Swettenham had any reasonable justi-
fcation for his extraordinary letter to
Rear Admiral Davis he would not de-
ay in placing his government in pos
session of the facts; therefore his ST.
ence is regarded as a confession of
weakness of his case, or an evidence
