the news from Kingston today is the
declination of Sir James Alexander
Swettenham, governor of Jamaica, to
accebt American aid and the departure
in consequence of the American war

after the. incident became known, and
promptly disapproved Of the English
governors action, and not only sent a
letter Of regret to Davis, but asked him
to reconsider the decision to leave, and
to remain with the American ships, as
every aid was still urgently needed.
Davis replied he had no alternative but

OF the constituted authorities. English
newspaper comment on the incident Is
unanimous in regretting the occur
renee and in expressing that the good

Resolution Supported By Re

FORAKER in LINE WITH PARTY
Introduce. Substitute Resolution for
Investigation, "Without Questioning
the Legality or Justice of Any Act
Of the President in Relation Thereto"
Washington News.

Washington, Jan 21.--An agreement
senators on the substitute resolution on
the Brownsville question, which was
introduced by Senator Foraker, and
it is asserted, will receive the unani-
nous vote of the majority party. The
phraseology of the resolution was not
made public until it was actually Offer
ed In the senate, but in addition to
providing for an investigation by the
senate committee on military affairs
and the facts connected with the af-
fray at Brownsville, it carries the dec
laration that the committee shall not
raise the question as to the presidents S
right to discharge negro soldiers al
legged to have been involved in the out
rage.
Foraker did not give his consent to
the compromise until today, but mas
much as he was to offer it, and 1t is not
inconsistent with the position he had
previously taken, he finally agreed to
withdraw his objection. He was first
given assurances, however. that the
resolution would be supported by
Lodge and the unanimous strength OF
the republicans of the senate. 1t is not
certain whether Blackburn will offer
as an amendment to the new resolu-
tion the amendment he presented to
tho nenfipp resolution endorsing the
presidents course. If he does offer it,
an agreement by the republicans would
insure Its defeat.
At the conclusion of routine busi-
less Foraker introduced the comprom-
ise resolution. The resolution is iden-
ticai with that introduced by Foraker
December 10, except the words with
out questioning the legality or justice
of any act of the president In relation
thereto were inserted.

U. S. MARINES WITHDRAWN.
Friction Between Governor of Jamaica
and Naval Authorities

Kingston, Jamaica, Jan. 81. - Rear
Admiral Davis mission of mercy to
stricken Kingston came to an abrupt
conclusion in consequence of Governor
Swettenhams objection to the presence
OF American sailors engaged in clear
ing the streets, guarding the property
and succoring the wounded and sick.
The situation eliminated in letter
from the governor to the admiral per-
emptorily requesting the latter to re-
embark his men.
Admiral Davis was greatly shocked
and panied, and paid a formal visit to
Governor Swettenham, Informing him
that the United States battleships
Missouri and Indiana and the gunboat
Yankton would sail this afternoon.
To the Associated Press, Admiral
Davis said that immediate compliance
with Governor Swettenham's request
was the only course consistent with
the dignity of the United States.
The friction between the governor
and the admiral began with the arrival
Of the American warships, when the
governor objected to the firing of a
salute in his honor on the ground that

for new earthquake. He also de-
clared there was no necessity for
American aid-that his government
was fully able to preserve order and
succor the victims.
Rear Admiral Davis, however, land
ed parties of bluejackets, who patroled
the streets, cleared the debris. attended
many of the wounded, and won the
highest praise from citizens and mill
tary officers for their excellent work.
When Rear Admiral Davis called at
the headquarters house, he waited fif-
teen minutes. He then informed the
governors aid that he would wait no
longer and requested him to tell the
governor that in consequence of the
attitude in not desiring American aid,
he had countermanded President
Roosevelt's order, dispatching the sup
DIV ship Celtic laden with beef, for the
relief of Kingston.
Governor Swettenham arrived at that
moment, there was brief private
meeting and the governor escorted
Rear Admiral Davis to his carriage.

am sure no one can regret it more than
we do. Swettenham always has been
considered to be an excellent governor.
but 1t Is hard to see how he can justify
his letter to Davis. The most
charitable view to take is that
he was overweight by the great
nervous strain resulting from the dis
aster, and it is great relief to hear
that there has not been any real trou-
BILE, or foundation for any. But this
does not explain the governors letter,

st is difficult. to find justification for
the governors letter. It is great SUR
prise to us, as when the news came
that Admiral Evans had dispatched a
ship to Kingston, and later, when the
men had been landed, to help in main
tanning order and in caring for the
wounded, the greatest appreciation was
expressed on every hand. Nowhere did
we hear any criticism on landing armed
men, which seemed quite natural under
the circumstances, and it is hard to
realize how anybody could object to it.
We shall make every effort to have the
affair cleared up without delay, and we
hope Americans will withhold their
judgment until this can be DONE"
