THE JAMAICA DISASTER.

Rear Admiral Davis mission Of
mercy to stricken Kingston came to
an abrupt and painful conclusion in
consequence of Gov Swettenham's OBJ
lection to the presence of American
sailors engaged in the work of clear
ing the streets, guarding property and
succoring the wounded and sick, cul-
minatlng in a sarcastic and insulting
letter to the admiral peremptorily re-
questing him to reembark all parties
which had been landed. Admiral
Davis promptly sailed away with his
three vessels.
American refugees from Kingston
arrived in New York and issued for
NAL complaint against certain British
officials in Jamaica and especially
Capt. Parsons, of the steamer Port
Kingston, which was chartered for Sir
Alfred Jones and party. The captain
is accused of driving refugees from his
vessel, refusing them food, forcing
them, including women and injured,
to sleep on the docks and behaving
generally in an inhuman and uncivil
manner. Gen. Whit at Havana, on re-
quest of the British consul there, sent
army tents to Kingston. Gov. SWEET
tenham cabled his thanks to Washing
ton, but did not explain his insults to
Admiral Davis.
The president has assured Esme
Howard, British charge, that the gov
eminent has no intention of paying
any attention to the Swettenham-
Davis incident at Kingston. Two
more very severe shocks terrified ia
maicans Tuesday. Food and other
supplies were sent from Boston and
Panama. Vice Consul Orrett says the
dead probably will number over 1000.
