PRAISE FOR AMERICANS.
Jamaica'S Governor Called a
Blinded Bigot' By Kingston Paper.

Kingston Jamaica. Jan. 1.-THE Most Rev
Dr. Enos Nuttau. Lord Archbishop OF the
West Indies, having heard here to-day that
King Edward had cahled deprecating the idea
that the people OF Jamaica should accept foreign
assistance said he trusted his majesty had not
given utterance 10 this sentiment and that if
nc had he the Archbishop, did not approve of
it, The Archbishop said also that he believed
a great mistake had been made when Governor
Swettenham rejected the offers Of American
aid The Archbishop sent cable message to
President Roosevelt to-day, thanking. him
warmly for the assistance Of the American navy.
The relief committees are actively engaged in
sending refugees into the country and distrbut-
ing food and money those who unable 10
leave the city.
Bishop Hendricks OF Colon arrived here this
morning on board the steamer Advance. which
brought from Colon one hundred tons of food
and $500 contributed 10 the jamaican sufferers
by the officials of the canal and merchants of
Panama Governor Swettenham consented 20
accept these supplies waving the customs dues.
The Advance will return TO Colon with refugees.
The French cruiser Jurien de la Graviere and
a Haytian gunboat have arrived here. The lat
ter vessel offered to render aid but this sugges-
ton was declined by the Governor.
THE Daily Telegraph" in a scathing editorial
article, arraigns Governor Swettenham as fol-
lows:
We would be unfathful 10 our duties as ex-
ponents Of public opinion II we failed TO call
attention to the extraordinary conduct of his
excellency in the present crisis His general
behavior at moment of great peril and difi-
Guilty was unworthy responsible British official
and even a cultured English gentleman HIS
letter to Rear Admiral Davis was q production
of which he ought 70 be ashamed, and of which
the Jamaicans are ashamed
The United States is friendly nation; their
bone is British bone and their flesh Is British
flesh. and no one but blinded bigot would have
refused TO admit American landing PARTIES The
men from the American warships did magnif,
cent work in removing the debris and recovering
bodies. and the naval surgeons performed an
equally splendid service. The action Of the Gov
ernor was absolutely reprehensble. We want
q man who does not spend his time riding about
the city cursing officials who are endeaYorinx to
work Loyalty. The people OF this community
have lost confidence In his power OF guidance
and are indignant at his autocratic. bullying and
insulting manner.
