of a trial of the essential facts in a sensa-

defendant.
Long periods were consumed in getting

London, Jan. I-In an editorial this

THE catastrophe has been followed by

with good sense and caImness by either
side. may dIsagreeably affect the relations
between Great Britain and the United
States. II VIII be granted that Gov. SWEET

trying position"
The paper. then proceeds to point out
that no white British force is on the spot.
and that food and medical and surgical
requirements are urgently wanted. but up
to Saturday no British war ships had ap-
peared. The American commander-in-
chief, remembering what was necessary
to maintain order at san Francisco, sent
help speedily. It adds:
TT was a generous, kindly act but at
the same time it cannot be too plainly
understood that It was a humiliating ex-
perience for a British colony TO be com
PEELED to look to a foreign though friendly
fleet for military and medical assistance
Had n Double Duty.
with Gov. Swettenham rested a
double duty; on one hand to uphold the
honor OF the British flag in the absence
Of assistance from the British navy. and
on the other to deal with the distress Of
the stricken town
The Mail points out that full allowance
must be made for the governor in a situa-
tion calculated to Try the stoutest nerves
and precipitate a decision which in hap
pier circumstances might well have been
rejected. Continuing, it says.
The governor appears to have thought
first and foremost Of British prestige and
national honor No doubt he remembered
that President Roosevelt refused all
foreign offers of assistance after the San
Francisco disaster because their accept
ance would have been injurious to Amer
lean dignity, but his action was widely
and not unjustly criticised in the United
States. and Gov. Swettenham's abrupt re-
quest that the Americans re-embark is
even more open to unfavorable structure
Gov. Swettenham has made a deplor-
able blunder-"
The Mail. Of course. dwells on the point
that if the government had not reduced
the navy the whole difficulty would not
have occurred.
