Judgment until this can be done.
Officials OF the colonial Office ex-
pressed themselves 10 the Associated
Press on substantially the same lines.
The colonial secretary not having had
any word from Governor Swettenham,
declined to make any statement. but
one OF the highest officials Of the Of
flee said:
Thus far we are only able to Judge
from press reports. but these appear to
show that Governor Swettenham in
dulged IN unaccountable sarcasm.
Possibly the terrible experiences COM
nected with the earthquake may have
caused him to lose his head. and it is
hoped that the present friEhtful condi-
tons at Kingston viii be taken into
consideration.
II is learned that the incident be-
tween Governor Swettenham and Adj
mral Davis is not the only one which
has arisen at Kingston. as 1t now de-
velOps that the activities OF Sir Alfred
Jones in relieving the situation have
given the governor the idea that Sir
Alfred sought TO take the whole mat
ter i'm hand. Sir Alfred is one of the
principal business men OF Great Brit
ain president OF the Liverpool cham
Der OF commerce. and leader of the
British commercial party which has
been visiting i'm Jamaica.

Law. made the following state
mont TO the Associated Press:
