DISORDER IN KINGSTON
GOVERNOR CONDEMNED
(Scripps News Association.)

KINGSTON, Jan. 21.-Disorder
ragged here last night, discomfort Is
rife. Governor Swettenham and the
mayor of Kingston are at logger
heads, and everybody is expressing
the opinion that the governor has
made mess of the situation and an
ass of himself.
A number of small rum-shops
have been opened secretly and the
negroes are causing much trouble.
Lady Swettenham, the angel Of
the stricken city, is constantly at
work directing nurses and aiding
the injured.
Governor Swettenham yesterday
requested the withdrawal of Ameri-
can sailors sent ashore to aid in re-
lief work in the ruined city. His
language was sarcastic and result
ed in strained relations between
himself and Rear Admiral Davis,
commanding the American relief
squadron, hurried to Kingston after
the earthquake. Davis Immediate
ly ordered his men on board ship
and sailed away.
Swettenham claimed he needed
no assistance and resented the char.
liable endeavors of the -.mericans.
The ships were sent by Admiral
Evans from Cuba, who knew that
the place was not heavily garrison
ed and would be in need of outside
aid and medical supplies.

LONDON, Jan. 21.--As typical OF
the sentiment Of the people, the
mayor Of Kingston went to Adj
miral Davis before he sailed and
disclaimed all responsibility for the
governors action, which he con-
demned in harshest terms.
Swettenham wires the govern
ment today asking that thinks be
extended America for Davis assist
ance. He does not mention any I'M
pleasantness. The government or
dered him to report his version at
once.

Continued from Page ~

it must be remembered that this
is new country and many OF
those who live here must get
their wisdom by experience and
it will not be likely that any OF
them will be caught without
shelter and fuel another time as
some have been this winter. No
suffering OF people or OF stock
has been reported in this (Des
Lacs) township or any Of the
adjoining ones that the writer
can find out.

But none of them compare

But they cannot grow the wheat,

But in spite of all their tale,
Thrives Dakota.
And the merchants, how they buy,
Whether weather's wet or dry
And the simple reason why,
It's Dakota.
OF all the states that natures

In the happy golden west,
Travelling men they love it best,

Our old state will never fail
And we love to tell the tale

And our pilgrimage is run
All will hear the glad swell done,'

Meet up there to part no more,
We will sing for evermore,
