Washington, January 1.-Rear Admiral Davis, at Kingston, in his report on the situation in the stricken city, under date of Friday, announces that the Jamaican authorities declined his offer to land wrecking parties to assist in the hospital, police the streets, clear away the debris and bury the dead, but that later by request he landed blue jackets to pre- vent an alleged mutiny at the peniten- tiary (slnce withdrawn) and that he had a party guarding the consulate. The West Indian regiment and the insular constabulary are guarding the town.

 The rise in the flooded section increa sed considerably during the day. each inch of rise spreading over wide territory. For several hours the river was stationary at 64.8 feet, but the weather bureau off cials could find only temporary consola- ton in this fact, announcing during the afternoon that the news from up the river indicated that the river here would go up to at least sixty-six feet, and perhaps sixty-seven feet. within the next thirty six hours.
 The rise of last night and today cut off approach to the foot of the bridges across the Ohio, isolating most of the people on the Kentucky side of the river.
 Car Service Crippled.
 In the east side of Cincinnati the car service was so badly crippled that half a dozen transfers were necessary to go a few blocks, passengers being compelled to climb around the inundated sections.
 All the railroads on both sides of the river, except the Cincinnati. Hamilton and Dayton and the Cincinnati, Lebanon and Northern, continued to suffer, the water having coveredt the tracks at An derson's ferry, west of the city, and at points in the suburbs. Systematic ef- forts to relieve the sufferers who are es- timated at nearly 20000 in Cincinnati and the nearby cities on both sides of the river, were under way all day. the special appropriation by the City Council being supplemented by special funds, to which all churches contributed today.

Stop Supplies.

New York. January 20-The gathering of supplies here for the Kingston earth quake sufferers by the New York King ston relief committee it is expected will be discontinued tomorrow for the time being at least, and in view of the refusal on the part of Governor Swettenham of Jamaica to accept aid from American war vessels 1t is quite probable that the sup plies now on the way to Kingston on the steamers Allegheny and Prinz Joachim will never reach that port. Both steam CTS have been ordered to call at Port Antonio and there await further in- structions.
 A special meeting of the relief com mittee will be held tomorrow when the situation will be thoroughly gone over and definite action taken.
 The committee. however. did hear from the colonial office in London, through which one of the three cablegrams was sent to Governor Swettenham and the tone of the message was such as to lead the committee to believe that it's efforts were justified.

The first and probably most serious loss by col lapsing of walls was during the night, when several floors in the buildings on Walnut street. occupied by the A.

tary of State Bacon tonight, when shown the dispatch from Kingston regarding Governor Swettenham's attitude toward Real Admiral Davis, who went to Kings ton with two battleships, a cruiser and torpedo boat destroyer to administer aid to the stricken people, at once declared that it was not true. He charged that the newspapers were trying to make trouble between Admiral Davis and Governor Swettenham
 There Is not any truth in it." he said emphatically. 'I know what I am talking about. There is not the slightest kipd of trouble or foundation for 1t in any way, shape or manner The ships have not sailed. I know exactly what happened" He added:
 There is no foundation for it in any manner. That is perfectly straight. If you are looking for the facts those are the facts"
 MT. Bacon would not disclose the source of his information. but indicated pos sibility of official advices.
 The news from Kingston of the with dra awal of the American ships sent there for the relief of the stricken people of the Jamaican capital and the remarkable cor respondenoe that led up to that step caused a profound sensation in Washing ton.

THAW'S TRIAL WILL COMMENCE TODAY Murderer of Stanford White is
 Still Hopeful LEAVES TOBMS FIRST TIME Will Formally be Presented at Bar but Another Case Pending May Cause
 Postponement Until
 Wednesday.
LEAVES TOBMS FIRST TIME

New York January 20.-Harry Kendall Thaw, heir to the Thaw millions of Pitts burg, will leave the Tombs tomorrow morning. cross the bridge of sghs,' and stand in the tribunal of justice where he confidently hopes to prove before a jury that his killing of Stanford White, eminent architect and patron of the stage, on the Madison Square Garden roof was not "wilful and deliberate mur- der in the eyes of the law.
 It will be the first time Thaw has left the Tombs since his commitment there June 2S last, just three days after the tragedy which furnished an international sensation. The day of the trial has been long in coming to the young prisoner, who impatiently has seen the date set from time to time, only to be as often postponed
 Tbaw, however. still has a few days to wait. His trial is set down to begin tomorrow morning in the criminal branch of the supreme court, and he will &C., cordlngly be presented formally at the oar. But Judge John Fitzgerald has an- other case pending, and the Thaw trial probably will be postponed until Wednes- day.
 Two Hundred Talesmen.
 In the meantime 200 talesmen, members of a special jury panel drawn for the Thaw trial, will have to await the call of the court. This large jury list has been selected with the greatest of care and every effort has been made to avoid the constant or professional juror. Men of affairs, with recognized standing in the community in which they live, have been sought in selecting the panel.
 With the long expected trial only a few days away there Is stil a feeling in usually well-informed circles that some thing may yet happen to put an ab- rupt end to the proceedings. The great pressure which has been brought to bear upon the prisoner to pe' ant a request for the appointment of a lunacy com mission, the authenticated statements from a number of alienists who have examined Thaw in the Tombs who pro. nounced him irresponsible; the arrival oi his titled sister, the Countess of Tar mouth, who is said to have more infiu' ence with the brother than any other member of the family, all tend to keeI the followers of the case on the alert foi a new and sudden development.

$4OO,OOO LOSS IN
 CINCINNATI FIRE
HILL & GRIFFITH MAKERS OF FOUNDERS SUPPLIES IS DE- STRoYED AND MOST OF THE FOUNDRY OF REsoN & co.

Cincinnati, January 20.-Fire starting on the fourth floor of the establishment of Hill & Griffith company, founders sup plies, in the west end, this afternoon de- stroyed that concern, and also burned most of the foundry of the William Resor company adjoining, causing a loss esti- mated at over $40O, GOO
 A falling wall crushed the Cincinnati, Hamilton and Dayton roundhouse, but all engines had been previously removed. The melting and collapsing of an iron bridge that connected the two concerns blocked the railroad tracks on two lines for sew eral hours, but wrecking crews had cleared away the wreckage tonight. The back water from the Ohio river and Mill creek blocked the efforts of the iremen on one side, and a high hill shut them away from another side, so that the buildings were burned almost without a fight from the department The loss was only partially covered by insurance.

Governor Swettenham replied Friday as follows:

'"The committee having charge Of the

lar then, the undertaking had the lib
eral support of the public, and large
sums were collected. Also this year
it was the intention to utilize June Z
for the same noble purpose. But the
city authorities and others do not look
upon it in the same light any longer.
1t Is said that to make such use of the
day, or to observe the day at all as
holiday, may look like demonstra>
ton and the neighbor who was the
second party to the union may take Of
Tense. Accordingly the day will not
be observed in a general way this year
and very likely not at all in the future
Another day may be chosen, however,
as a day for aid to poor children, if
the sentiment otherwise is for having
such day. The committee, however,
insisted on that day or none, at least
for this year, and the result is that
there will be no 'children's day in
Christiania this year, and thereby
many institutions whose aim it is to
care for poor children will have to do
