RED TAPE At KINGSTON.
Jamaican Newspaper Severely At-
tacks the Governor.

Kingston, Jamaica. Jan. 24.-Lack OF coop
Grafton the part OF the central control here is
greatly hampering the work Of relief. providing
shelter for the earthquake sufferers. pulling
down the unsafe walls and repairing the dam
aged buildings, for which Governor Swetten-
ham is severely condemned. THE Daily Tele-
graph" IN an editorial to-day says
His excellency is still careering around the
city. poEing : nose into various corners and
attending 20 petty details which his subordinateS
ought TO attend 10. The result is that when
prominent officials and other gentlemen in
charge OF important work call at Headquarters
House TO consult him they cannot find the Gov
ernor. There is total absence OF deliberate,
organized movement. This is a state Of at
fairs which the British and colonial govern
ments cannot congratulate themselves.
An instance OF the Governors untimey. OBJ
structiVe measures is the police enforcement Of
the regulation forbidding the re-erection Of
buildings. even wooden shacks, without the city
surveyors approval OF the plans. This is caus-
ing great delay and dissatisfaction. The gen.
eral opinion is that the Governor has completely
lost HIS head and is utterly unequal TO the task
OF meeting the emergency.
The Colonial Secretary, Mr. Bourne, to-day
caused the publication of letter in reply to the
letter OF the American Consul, Mr.. Orrett. say
ing that his recollection of the visit Of Rear
Admiral Davis 10 headquarters. when the per-
mission 10 land sailors was given. does not
agree with Mr.. Orrett's version. but he does not
explain the difference
Eugene Magnus, manager OF the Crosswell
store which the Governor in his letter to Ad-
miral Davis said the Americans had cleaned up,
denies the Governors version OF the affair. He
says the sailors merely assisted in getting out
the SAFE and that while they We're at work
Governor Swettenham arrived on tho spot and
sngr1ly protested because the sailors were
Americans.
A report issued by Health officer Ogilvie to-
day warmly thanks the crew Of the American
battleship Missouri for their assistance in erect
ing tents, and cOmmends the services of Sur
geon Norton of the Missouri in establishing the
American hospital IN Winchester Park. The re-
port that the sailors were guilty Of some footing
IS authoritatively denied.
Earth tremors continue. but at longer inter-
walls and IN decreased intensity.
Governor Swettenham has sent word TO the
Secretary for the Colonies that the provisions
received are more than ample for the relief of
the destitute and that no more money is needed
except for the rebuilding Of the houses Of the
lower and middle classes.
committee OF resident Americans, Of which
Vice-COnsul Orrett is chairman and c. s. Cham
berlain secretary, has been formed TO ask money
contributions TO make good the losses sustained
by Americans here. II is requested that all re-
rnittances be sent TO Consul Orrett
