1ordon Ian 2l.--After a CONFER
ence today between officials OF uo
,ors,vn office and the colonial ONCE
the latter cabled TO Gov s~euenn'''',
4, Jamaica asking for his version OF
tho situation which led TO the WIN
drawal OF Rear Admiral Davis war-
ships from KINGSTON. Nothing hau
been received from the governor con-
corning any phase Of the incident NO
versions were more surprised al the
governors action than the officials OF
4 tho foreign office who learned the
4 FIRST particulars through the press.
In the, absence Of Foreign Secy
Grey, the senior secretary Of the for
oign office Immediately went TO the
colonial office and suggested the pro-
prlety Of securing the governors state
! meht without delay as It was felt that
the incident might cause irreparable
injury to the friendly relations between
the two governments II not promptly
4 explained. When the foreign officials
here were shown Asst Secy. of State
Bacon's statement, cabled from wash
ington 10 the effect that the authorities
had no information regarding the
departure of the American warships
from Kingston, they were somewhat
1 relieved.
1T Is unexplanable." said an Of
fetal Of the foreign Office to the AS
,ociated Press, "It It were not for
Coy. Swstenhams letter, which Is so
full Of inconsistencies, it would be i'm
possible to believe that he has taken
such action am sure no one can
peak for Sir Edward Grey as we'll
Tor the other officials Of the foreign
once. swetlenham has always peen
Nhsdered an excellent governor, but
hs nara to see how he can Justify his

usrtabe view TO take is that lie Is
