THANKS TO DAVIS.
But Further Aid of United States Prob
 ably Will Not Be Justified.

London, Jan. 1.-Replying to a tele- gram from the British charge d'affaires at Washington, reporting that the state department had inquired whether Great Britain desired or was willing to accept further assistance in money or other forms of aid for the Kingston earthquake sufferers, the foreign office to-day replied as follows:
 'The offer of the American govern ment to give further aid is gratefully appreciated by his majesty's govern ment. The government of Jamaica has not yet reported his requirements full ly, but now that the firse few days are over it appears likely that there will be no justification for further calls on the generosity of the United States. In the meantime his majesty's govern m.ent has been requested by Sir Alex ander Swettenham to convey to the government of the United States cor dial thanks for the prompt and power ful assistance which the United States navy under Rear Admiral Davis ren- dered to the inhabitants of Kingston in their suffering"

OBLIGATIONS TO DAVIS
England Has Other Reasons to Feel
 Deeply Grateful to Him


 I London, Jan 21.-By a singular coin cidence Admiral Davis happens to be an officer to whom England has here tofore has felt the deepest gratitude, as his course, while the American mem Der of the international arbitration court at Paris upon the sinking of the British fishing vessels in the North Sea l by the Russian fleet, practically was decisive in shaping a decision favorable to Great Britain Some phases of the arbitration were not stated at the time, as they might have proved irritating to Russia. It is known that Davis staunch support of the British contention turn ed the scales at the decisive moment. His views were accepted by the Aus trian admiral and this, with the vote of the British member, Admiral Bau- mont, made a majority which deter Er'ined the character of the final de- cision.
 In this the Russian member, Admiral iDubasoff, and the French member, Ad- miral Fournier, concarred, thus mak- ing the conclusion unanimous. But there is no doubt of the influence of the American, British and Austrian ad- mirals in shaping the character of this unaninity. Baumont was fully aware of this.
 One of the phases not generally known is that King Edward, on the conclusion of the court, communicated an invitation, through the British am bassador at Paris, to Admiral Davis to come to Buckingham palace, where marked honors. were to have been shown him. But the desire to avoid anything which might be construed as wounding Russia led Admiral Davis not to accept the kings invitation. It was none the less expressive of the feeling of Great Britain toward Admiral Da- wis, althouvh this feeling is now mo- mentarily overlooked, probably through failure to recognize the Admiral Davis at Jamaica asstfle same Admiral Davis who turned the scales for Great Brit ain before the historic international court.

STIRRING TALE FROM SEA
tcontinued from First Page.

The men on the sinking barge now drew the life boat back to them, and one after another dropped into it, and all hands were hauled on board the tug with difficulty. While these rescues were being made the barge foundered.
 The tug immediately started ahead and after picking up the Montana started for Block Island The barge had labored so heavily that she, too had sprung aleak. At o'clock this morning just as the Buccaneer steam ed inside the breakwater at Block Is- land, Captain Davis and his crew abandoned the Montana, the water having made so much headway that the barge was in danger of sinking any moment. For nearly an hour the four men struggled against the clements, before they succeeded in rowing their boat under the lee of. the tug. The tug after picking up the men remained on the scene until the barge went down this afternoon, and then steamed for this port.

MAY RECALL >WETTENHAM
Under No Conceivable Circumstances
 should He Send Such Letter
Washington. January 17, 1

Should He Send Such Letter
 London, Jan. 21-The colonial office is still without explanation from Sir Alexander swettenham, the governor of Jamaica, of the situation which led to the withdrawal of Rear-Admiral Davis warships from Kingston on Saturday. This silence, although irritating to the government, is construed as a good sign that this much regretted affair is capable of amicable adjustment, and will not lead to any disturbance of the friendly relations between the United States and Great Britain.
 It is supposed that if Governor Swet- tenhan had any reasonable justifica- tion for his extraordinary letter to Rear-Admiral Davis he would not de- lay in placing his government in pos- session of the facts; therefore his si- fence is regarded as a confession of the weakness of his case, or an evidence of compunction at having adopted an in- advisable course. Tn this light the gov- ernor's telegram asking the British government to convey to the govern ment of the United States the thanks of the nation for the assistance render ed by Rear-Admiral Davis assumes considerable importance, and Foreign Secretary Sir Edward Grey, in forward ing this message to Washington with the thanks of the imperial government, well expresses the feeling of the gov ernment and the nation on this sub- ject
 Furthermore, War Secretary Haldane, on behalf of the war office, has taken quite unusual course, and one indica- tive of exceptional importance of the occasion, by addressing dispatch to Secretary Root which indirectly implies censure of the governor of Jamaica. It will thus be seen that practically all the ministers are adopting highly ap- preciative and correct attitude toward the United States, andN it cannot be doubted but that the incident will be settled, probably by the recall of Gov ernor Swettenham, or at least, disa- vowal of his action and apology to Rear-Admiral Davis.
 While the foreign office naturally is reluctant, in the absence of fuller in- formation, to pass judgment on the af- fair, officials of the foreign office do not hesitate in agreeing that under no con- ceivable circumstances should such a letter as Governor Swettenham's to Rear-Admiral Davis been written, and they declare that even the stress of re- cent events is no excuse for such lan- guage on the part of a government off, cial to an officer of friendly nation engaged in work of humanity.
 Esme Howard, charge d'affaires at the British embassy, tonight called on Acting Secretary of State Bacon and presented 8 message from Earl Grey, principal secretary of state for Great Britain, regarding the Davis Ewettenham incident. In his message Earl Grey says that he is causing an official inquiry to be made to determine the authenticity of the letter purport- ing to have been written by Governor Swettenham to Rear Admiral Davis.

Common sense is just as necessary (eyen more so) in medicine as in busi- ness Or in the affairs of every day life, People are getting to know more than they used to. Not so long ago, it was the fashion to make all sorts of claims for a medicine, and wind up by asking the reader to go to a drug store and buy bottle. People won't stand for that kind of thing now. They want proof-tangible proof. They want to try the remedy first and if they find it to be what is claimed they will be glad enough to go and buy it.

To this MT, Howard replied the next day as follows:
 British Embassy,
 Washington, January 17, 1907. Sir: have the honor to inform you that have been instructed by his ma 5esty's principal secretary of state for foreign affairs, to express the high ap- preciation of his majesty's government at the prompt assistance rendered by the United States government in the dispatch of their ships to Jamaica to afford aid to the stricken people of Kingston.
 Il have the honor to be, with the highest consideration, sir,
 Your most obedient servant,
 'IEsme Howard. To Hon. Elihu Root, etc."
 At the state department tonight it was stated that as far as this govern ment is concerned the matter will be allowed to drop, the governments opinion being that the act of one man fn distant colony and at a time of great distress and mental anguish should not be the means of raising an unpleasant issue with a great and friendly nation.
 Officials of the National Red Cross society in this city do not believe that the Jamaican authorities will refuse to accept the supplies which have been sent to the island. In case the Red Cross supplies are declined however, 1t is more than probable that they will be diverted to the famine-stricken peo- pie of China.
 If the supplies which were sent by the society on Friday and Saturday last from New York shall be declined, :" said Miss Mabel Boardman, member of the executive committee to-day, it is likely that we will send such of the supplies as are suitable for the relief of China sufferers.
 Miss Boardman added that no fur ther steps would be taken at present in aid of the Jamaican sufferers.
