Davis and Governor Swettenham. have
had the effect of relieving the tensity
OF feeling which had existed since 1t
became known that Davis returned to
Guantanamo from Kingston with his
ships which had gone to aid the people
of Jamaica. The message from Lon
don is interpreted here as meaning
that the British government and peo-
pie disapprove the acction of the gov
eTnor Of Jamaica in requesting Davis
to embark his men.
While the general sentiment here is
one Of extreme resentment at the
treatment of Davis, there is no official
who will venture to express himself in
criticism for publication. The president
has taken the position that there is
nothing in the episode which warrants
the slightest representations by this
government on the subject, and no rep
reservations will be made
The British government has acknowl.
edged its appreciation of the sending
of the ships to Jamaica in correspond
ence which passed between Secretary
Root and Esme Howard the British
charge.
At the state department it is stated
that, so far as this government is con-
cerned, the matter will be allowed to
drop, the departments position being
that the action Of one man in distant
colony, at a time of great distress and
mental anguish. should not be the
means of raising an unpleasant issue
with great and friendly nation.

SWEET ennam May ae Recalled

London. Jan. 22-The colonial office
is still without explanation from Sir
Alexander Swettenham of the situation
which led to the withdrawal Of Adj
miral Davis warships from Kingston
on Saturday. 1t is supposed that If
Swettenham had any reasonable JUS
LITIGATION for his extraordinary letter to
Davis he would not delay in placing his
government in possession Of the facts,
therefore his silence is regarded as a
con fession of the weakness Of his case
or an evidence Of conjunction at hav-
ing adopted an inadvisable course.
Officials of the foreign office do not
hesitate in agreeing that under no con-
ceivable circumstances should such
letter as Swettenham's to Davis been
written, and they declare that even
the stress of recent events is no excuse
for such language on the part of gov
eminent official to an officer of friend
ly nation engaged in work of hui
manity,

VICTORY FOR PRESIDENT

QUESTION: d--TiIlman Apo ogy
For Attempt to Be "Funny"

Washington, Jan. 22-Few features
of the spectacular were missing from
the proceedings of the senate yesterday
The Brownsville affair was the subject
of controversy, and the day began with
| the announcement of a compromise
resolution which brought both Republi-
can and Democratic senators together
on the basis of ordering an investiga-
ton of the facts of the ARRAY without
bringing into question the authority of
the president to dismiss the negro
troops. The resolution had been sub
mitted to and approved by the presi-
dent at a conference Sunday.
When the harmony" testimonials
were all in, Senator Tillman took the
floor and delivered a speech in reply to
the recent criticism of himself by Sena-
tor Spooner This speech began with
satirical picture Of the senate as
minstrel show, which Tillman later
said was his first and last attempt to
be funny" an attempt which, at its
conclusion. brought singing denuncl-
alton from Senator Carmack in resent
ment of illusions to him. This was
preceded by serious reply from
Spooner on the attitude taken by Til
man on the race problem, all finally
resulting in a session OF nearly TWO
hours behind closed doors.
The secret session was followed by
brief open one in which Tillman mace a
profuse apology to Carmack' TO all
senators whom he had brought into his
first essay in the line of humor'' ana
finally to the entire senate. Il very
much regret that l ever undertook 10

had said in his funny essay and sac

This apology was at once accepted
by Carmack, who regretted ne had
questioned the motives of his friend
and he. too, withdrew words he had Ut
tered in protest.
Mr.. Foraker made a final attempt to
get a vote on his resolution, but ooJe'
ton was made and the natter VIII
taken up today. Carmack remarl
jocularly that there were not more tn
IL or 20 senators desiring to talk,

this party sally, adjournment wa
taken at 6:15 o'clock.
During the entire day the galleries OF
the senate were crowded to their ca

ters of the house of representatives,
who occupied all available seats and
standing room in the chamber.

IN DUNNAGE BAGS
Children Are Rescued From Life

ONE HURLEDTHROUGH AIR
Another Dragged Through a
Tumbling Sea, While Their
Mother and Seamen Are Res
cued by Means OF Ropes

Providence, Jan. GA tale the reci-
tation of which sounded like the widest
fiction, was told last night by II sur
vivors of a terrible storm which ragged
on Long Island sound. All Of them had
faced death so long and had suffered so
severely that none expected to live.
One of them, an infant boy, had been
tied in a dunnage bag and hurled from
tumbllng lifeboat to the deck OF tug
Another girl, years old, also bound
in a dunnage bag, was dragged through
the seas and landed safely beside her
brother. Six others, including the
mother of the children, with ropes I'M
der their arms, leaped from their life
boat and were hauled half drowned
and semi-conscous, to the tug. Twelve
hours later four others, the crew OF
laundering barge, were taken on board
the tug after they had almost lost their
lives.
The survivors were brought here by
the tug Buccaneer, which left Baltl-
more Thursday afternoon, bound for
Providence, towing two immense coal
barges, the Annie NJ. Ashe and the
Montana, both of which were lost.
The tug, commanded by Captain
Moon, ran into bad weather soon after
she left Baltimore. At 1890 o'clock
on Saturday night, when in the lower
Narrows, New York, the Annie M. Ashe
sprung aleak. All hands were set at
work at the pumps and throughout the
night and during Sunday morning the
seas broke over the boat, leaving so
much water on board that the crew
could not hold their own and they were
finally compelled to abandon their eff
forts when the pumps became choked
with coal dust. Engineer Knudson had
gone into the engine room to put out his
fires and while there the thrush of wa
ter was so great that he was compelled
to swim about until his head bobbed
through the hatchway. The stern of
the barge was gradually sinking and it
was decided to lower the !ifeboat.

BOTH MARRIED AGAIN.
Husband and Wife Had Each

Boston. Jan. 19.-Judge Aiken. in the
divorce session of the superior court,
granted petition presented by Charles
NJ. Burns of South Boston, asking for
the annulment Of his marriage to Mar
garet Anderson of Dorchester, which
was solemnzed 10 years ago. The
couple separated soon after the we'd
ding, and, according to Burns testi'
mony, he was notified by his wife's
relatives that she had died in Chicago.
Several years afterward Burns re-
married. Recently he was surprised
to hear that his first wife was living
in Dorchester. To satisfy himself as
to the accuracy of the report he went
to a house where he heard she was
staying. The first Mrs. Burns re-
sponded to his ring at the door and
was overcome when she recognized
the caller.
Her story was similar to that of
Burns. She told him she had heard he
was dead and that year later she had
married Thomas Anderson of Dorches-
ter AS a result of the complications,
Burns applied to the court for the an
nulment of his first marriage. Judge
Aiken granted the petition.
