JAMAICA'S GOVERNOR
MAY BE RECALLED
British Foreign Office in Absence CT
Word From There Condemns
Swettenham's Conduct.

London, Jan. 23.-The colonial office
is still without explanation from Sir
Alexander Swettenham, the governor
of Jamaica. of the situation which led
to the withdrawal of Rear Admiral
Davis WarShips from Kingston on Sat
urday. The silence, although irritating
to the government, is construed as "a
good sign hat this much regretted af-
fair is capable of amicable adjustment
and will not lead to any disturbance
of the friendly relations between the
United States and Great Britain.
1t is supposed that if Governor SWEET
tenham had any reasonable justifca-
ton for his extraordinary letter to Rear
Admiral Davis he would not Ella in
placing his government in possession of
the facts, therefore his silence is re-
garded as a confession of the weakness
of his case or an evidence of compunc-
ton as having adopted an inadvisable
course. In this light the governors
telegram asking the British govern
ment to convey to the government of
the United States the thanks of the ma
ton for American assistance rendered
by Rear Admiral Davis assume consid-
Importance.
Foreign Secretary Sir Edward Grey,
in forwarding this message to Wash
ington with the thanks of the imperial
government, well expresses the feeling
of the government and the nation on
this subject.
War Secretary Haldane, on behalf
of the war office has taken a quite
unusual course and one indicative of
the exceptional Importance of the oc-
casion by addressing a dispatch to
Secretary Root which indirectly i'm
plies censure of the governor Of ia
maica. 1t Will thus be seen that prac-
tically all the ministers are adopting
a highly appreciative attitude toward
the United States, and it cannot be
doubted that the incident will be set
tied probably by the recall of Govern
or Swettenham or at least disavowal of
his action and apology to Rear Ad-
miral Davis

Dyer, Jrs son of the United States dis
trict attorney and teller in the local
~subtreasury. has been acquitted in

friends Of the Dyer family and federal

Dyer's defense was that while adj

shortage OF the mou stated in the
indictment and that he had falsified the
records to cover the discrepancy, that
he had no knowledge of how the short
age occurred and that he had refrained
from reporting in the hope that no
could find and correct the mistake.
