LAST WEEK

m OvERNOR sWETTENIIAM Of ia
AyI maica was the central figure or
the week. Following the disastrous
earthquake and fire at Kingston Amer
lean vessels FASTENED with aid to the
scene of suffering. The American de-
stroyer Whipple, the supply ship Celtic
and two warships, the Missouri and
the Indiana fastened to Kingston from
Guantanamo and gave valuable as
sstance with supplies and surgical ala
for the wounded. When the inmates
OF a prison threatened revolt one OF tho
warships fired two blank cartridges In
the direction of the prison as warn
ing to the inmates. On Monday morn
ing the dispatches contained the news
that the American ships had LETT the
harbor on Saturday, being practically
ordered out by Governor Swettenhan
in an extraordinarily offensive letter.
The city council of Kingston requested
the Americans to remain and assist In
the emergency despite the conduct or
the governor as the withdrawal OF tho
surgeons and medical supplies threat
ened much suffering, but the Ameri-
cans did not feel at liberty to stay.
The British government Immediately
offered apologies to the American SOW
crnment, and Governor Swettenham
was severely criticised by the English
press. After receiving the full corre-
spondence between Admiral Davis In
command Of the American fleet, and
Governor Swettenham, Secretary or
the Navy Metcalfe made the following
statement Of the matter From this
correspondence it appears that Admiral
Davis landed party Of six to guard
and secure the archives Of the Ameri-
can consulate and another party Of ten
men for the purpose Of clearing away
the wreckage. Later, on the earnest
cntreaty OF the colonial secretary and
the inspector Of police, who spoke for
the governor (the governor being alb
sent from the city and at Kings house,
some three miles distant) fifty men
were landed under arms from the In
diana to overawe an alleged mutiny at
the penitentiary containing 500 or 600
prisoners. Admiral Davis then pro-
ceeded by carriage to visit the governor
at Kings house and found him living
with his family in tents and was ac-
companied to the city by the governor.
That same afternoon ON the request OF
the governor the men were withdrawn
from shore and returned to their
ships"

United States District Attorney Sims
to issue subpoenas returnablc en-
July 6, for officers and directors of
