SWETTENHAM MAY GO.
IMPRESSION IN ENGLAND.
His kilograms Not Made Public
Conditions IN Kingston.

London. Jan. 24-The Colonial Once has re-
oeived several kilograms from Sir Alexandtr
Swettenham, the Governor OF Jamaica. explain
ing the incident with Rear Admiral Davis, but
not one is OF such character that the author
i1es are prepared 10 give it to the public.
The Foreign Office says It has had no further
communication from Washington and that with
the receipt of President Roosevelts telegram
through the acting Secretary of State, Mr..
Bacon, the international side Of the question is
regarded settled. At the same time it is
possible. however that when Governor Swetten-
hams explanation is received in fun there will
be further communication with the government
Of the United States. The Associated Press
gained the general impression at the govern
ment offices to-day that Governor Swetten-
hams career IS at an end.
This evening the Colonial ONCE gave out two
reports received from the Governor on condi-
lions in Jamaica Sir Alexander says that up TO
date the bodies Of FIVE hundred known dead have
been buried. IN addition TO a number which could
not be distinguished or identified. The Governor
estimates that two hundred bodies still
buried in the ruins, and that it probably will
take twelve months 10 remove ali the wreckage.
The main thoroughfares Of Kingston have been
cleared, the streetcar lines in operation. and
the people to-day are living IN outhouses and
the less damaged buildings. There are three
Thousand homeless persons in temporary shell
tezs erected in the gardens. the public squares
and at the raoecourse The number Of home
less is beins decreased as work is plentiful, and
many persons have accepted free passage out Of
cae city There are still four hundred patients
IL the hospitals. and many OF the injured
being treated IN their homes by relatives and
friends.
Slight earth shocks continue. but the weather
remains hne.
The Foreign Secretary. Sir Edward Grey, to-
day sent the following reply to Mr. Bacon
through Esne Howard. the charge d'affaires Of
rhe British Embassy at Washington:
Please express 10 the Assistant Secretary OF
State my thanks for his message. The friendly
attitude OF the President and the American gov
ernment is warmly appreciated by his ma
ssstYs government
President ROoseveirs assurances through Act
ing Secretary Bacon, that the United States will
pay no heed whatever to the Kingston incident,
coupled with the press dispatches saying that
rhs American officials consider the incident
closed, elicit apprecstive expressions OF salts
faction from the officials and public here who
do not desire 20 prolOng the painful controversy.
The closing OF the incident IS considered TO ap-
ply 70 the international aspect only, as there
remains a considerable reckoning between Great
Britain and Governor Swettenham. Several cir
ounstanoes. Independent OF the incident with
which Rear Admiral Davis was connected, and
not coming through American channels are
combining TO create prejudice against swetten-
hs-ns arbitrary course.

COMPANIES LOSE TEST.
Earthquake Clause No Exemption.
Sags Frisco .Jury.

San Francisco. Jan. 24.-The earthquake clause
upon which many OF the insurance companies
based their refusal to pay the full amount OF
their policies considered not sufficient for

in favor OF the plaintiff for S6.77S.
Judge Whtson in his charge told the fury
that II It found that the fire originated from
the earthquake even remotely the judgment
should be for the defendant companies. but the
Judge specified that in determining the origin
OF the FIRE the jury would have to ascertain the
exact and particular origin of the hre which
caused the loss Of Bergin's property. and then
determine n its origin was from the earth
quake.
The case was regarded as a test OF the earth
quake clause and OF the right OF the companies

The receipt IN this city to-day Of the official
ful text OF the correspondence between Rear
Admiral Davis and Governor SWettenhan OF
Jamaica, which did not differ from the COM
nnniostions transmitted by The Associated
Press last Sunday night caused the naval off,

rsrai Davis had In any way transgressed the
bounds Of propriety on his visit TO Kingston
They not only found precedent FOR his landing

whole affair 20 warrant the letter addressed to
him by Governor Swettenhan. Secretary Net

commanding the squadron of naval vessels which
recently visited Kingston, Jamaica, after the
earthquake. and Sir Alexander Swettenham.
Governor OF Jamaica.
From this correspondence # appears that
Admiral Davis landed a party Of six men for
the purpose OF guarding and securing the ar
chives OF the American consulate, and another
party OF ten men for the purpose OF clearing
away the wreckage- Later. upon the earnest en-
treaty OF the colonial secretary and the in

men were landed under arms from the Indiana

visit the Governor at Kings House, and found
him living with his family in tents, and was
accompanied bacgfo the CITY by the Governor.
That same afternoon, upon request OF the Cow
ernOr, the men were withdrawn from shore and

PLEADS FOR HER RACE.
Wife of Negro Federal Judge SGys
Their Rights 4Are TrampIed Upon.

The seriousness OF the race problem confront
ing the country was described IN an address
delivered last night by Mrs. Mary Church Ter
rell. the wife OF one OF the Negro federal Judges
Of the District OF Columbia. IN the lecture room
Of the Madison Square Presbyterian Church.
At the conclusion Of her address a local
branch OF the Constitution League Of the United
States organized among the members of
his congregation. at the suggestion OF the Rev.
DIR. c. II. Parkhurst. This organization which
Is establishing branches in all the Congressional
districts IN the country. investigates all lynch
ings and makes the facts connected with them
public in the interest of Negro Americans 1t
Is slsO seeking 20 protect Negro voters from
being disfranchised and otherwise deprived Of
their constitutional rights.
In part. Mira TeFrill said;
You do not know what sacrifices have been
made by the children Of ex-slaves SO as 20 ad-
vance themselves and gain an education. Step
by step. they have encountered prejudice be-
cause OF color and other huge obstacles. Tne
interest once manifested by the people Of the
North IS gradually growing less and less. Tnis
Is because OF the false reports OF OUtrages spread
broadcast over the country by the bigOts in the
South. Among the better class Of blacks there
Is less scandal than among the better class OF
whites.
Regarding the disfranehisement Of the Nsgro
the pulpit press and platform as well "a the prt-
vate citizen are silent The CONSTITUTIONS
rights OF the black man are trampled on, and ~
some sections II ne Attempted TO vote ne NOUAI
lose his life. Lawlessness affects all parts OF
the country. and one tnfraction OF the law al
ways leads TO another There are more mur-
ders In Louisville, with its population OF two
hundred thousand, than there are In London
with its seven millions There ars truer or
more patriotic citizens than the ten millions or
Negroes. who know no other country than this.
There are two sides TO every lynchins bee.
White women are not making the slightest ef-
fort 20 save their cOlOref sisters from a lie OF
shame. In the South this Is because OF m
hertted hate OF their cOlored sisters. the dsugn-
tiers OF the bondwomen who nursed them. The
people OF America are not naturally unxnd or
cruel. yet they ignore the atrocities comnirtec
on Negro citizens They have sympathy re
the oppressed OF all races and urge the women
or the North TO see that Justice is done Una
Negro.
