In short, it is held that nothing could excuse such an amazing letter" ex- cept the charitable view that the writer was suffering from nervous breakdown.
 The Daily Telegraph in Q striking ed itorial article says it Is impossible to express in adequate words the sense of astonishment with which Englishmen read the extraordinary communication of Governor Swettenham to Rear Ad- miral Davis. We can as little hope" the paper says. ito convey to the citi- zens of the United States just i'm pression of the pain and utter regret with which national opinion on this side of the Atlantic regards one of the most deplorable and unintelligible inci- dents in the record of Anglo-American history"
 A Kingston dispatch says that the indignation of the residents of Jamai- ca, both official and private citizens, at the action of Governor Swettenham in demanding the withdrawal by Admiral Davis of the relief forces is spreading and intensifying.

of relieving ,Ie tens.ty of feeling which had existed since it became known that Admiral Davis had return ed to Guantanamo from Kingston with his ships which had gone to aid the stricken people of Jamaica.
 The message from London is inter- preted here as meaning that the Brit ish government and people disavow the action of the governor of Jamaica In requesting Admiral Davis to em- bark his men.
 Meantime Admiral Davis, who has arrived at Guantanamo from Kingston with the battleships Missouri and h. dians and the cruiser Yankton, is pre- pairing a report, which will be forward ed to Washington by mail. The subject was regarded as one of such delicacy that 1t was deemed advisable to send 1t In this manner rather than by wire less telegraphy. But it has been all ready anticipated here by the publica- ton of the correspondence between Ad- miral Davis and Governor Swetten- ham. While the general sentiment here was one of extreme resentment at the treatment of Admiral Davis, there was no official who would venture to ex- press himself in criticism for publica- ton. Acting Secretary of State Bacon was an early caller at the White House, where he was in conference with the president. and later it devel- oped that the president tock the posi- ton that there was nothing in the epi- sode which would warrant the slight est representations by this government on the subject, and no representations will be made
 At the state department it was stated that so far as this government is con- cerned the matter will be allowed to drop. the departments position being that the action of one man in a distant colony at a time of great distress and mental anguish should not he the means of raising an unpleasant issue with a great and friendly nation.

MAY CAUSE RECALL
Governor Swettenham Asked
 For Explanation.
ENGLISH NATION IS ASTONISHED
Feeling Tn Britain Is One of Utter Pain and Regret at Treatment of Admiral Davis-Note Bit-
 terly Denounced.

LONDON, Jan. 22.-Dlspatches say that the colonial ofice Is still without an explanation from Sir Alexander Swettenham, the governor of Jamaica. of the situation which led to the with drawal of Rear Admiral Davis war ships from Kingston.
 After conferences of officials of the foreign and colonial offices at London the colonial office cabled to Governor Swettenham asking him for his yer sion of the situation which led to the withdrawal of Rear Admiral Davis warships from Kingston.
 Governor Swettenham has cabled asking the British government to con vey to the government of the United States the thanks of the nation for the American assistance rendered by Rear Admiral Davis at Kingston. and For eign Secretary Sir Edward Grey in for warding this message to Washington with the thanks of the imperial govern ment well expresses the feeling of the Ou SuD ject.
 Furthermore War Secretary Haldane on behalf of the war ofice has taken a quite unusual course and one indi- cative of the exceptional importance of the occasion by addressing a dis. patch to Secretary Root which indirect. Iy implies censure of the governor of Jamaica
 It will thus be seen that practically all the ministers are adopting highly appreciative and correct attitude to- ward the United States. and it canno; be doubted but that the incident will be settled. probably by the recall of Governor Swettenham or at least dis avowal of his action and apology to Rear Admiral Davis.
 The Standard reflects the prevailing view. as follows:
 Perhaps trouble would be saved If we assumed forthwith that RAar Admi- raI Davis was q trffe too enerartic and Governor swettenham undul1 tena- ciaus of his prerosafive'
