thinks cit is possible that a praise
worthy desire 10 do his utmost in the
cause Of humanity pushed Admiral
Davis beyond the necessities OF the
case and led him 10 encrOach too far
upon the sphere OF British authority.
The Pail Mall Gazette assumes that
both the admiral and the governor
were animated by the best OF motives,
and adds:
''Englshmen certainly do not wish
the misunderstanding to be nagnified
In any sense OF pique, and the Aineri-
con public ought to be broadminded

The Westminster Gazette says there
can be nothing but regret at the fact
that any difficulty has arisen between
Admiral Davis and Governor Swetten-
ham, and while awaiting a fuller ey-
PLANTATION, adds
I'm the meantime the United States

10 the reason fer the abrupt departure
from Kingston OF Admiral Davis and

mirEl Davis and Governor Swettenham
today was inclined to believe there was
foundation for the stories. He thought
however. that when both sides are
heard the case viii present n different

that Mr. Clegg should want a bill offered

Harry Robinson smoothed matters over
by explaining that all the bills would ia
due course come within the province of

mediately afterward by referring a bin
relating to practically the same subject
TO another committee and had to reverse
