Under an ordinary law taxing such

clared that the men responsible for the

but there is no connection between the
two cases.
"a large part OF this $780,
600. 900 worth OF bonds was issued
by corporations outside OF the

the original payment of one-half of

There was n decided attempt on the
part Of the officers OF the British War
Relief Association yesterday to hush
up printed reports that there had been
Irregularities in the accounting of funds

homes to explain the reasons for the
expulsion by resolution of the Muirs
from the association.

Carranza Within Rights in Ex-
pelling Minister, Who
Goes to Havana.
WOULDN'T USE WARSHlP

WASHINGTON. Feb. 12.--The State De.
r,artment was advised tonight that Jose
Caro-, the Spanish Minister to Mexico,
expelled by Carranza. had arrived at
Vera Cruz and had gone aboard
Spanish passenger steamer bound for
Havana. He expects to await instruc-
lions from his Government at the Gu
ban port.
Secretary Of the Navy Daniels had
previously instructed the captain OF the
battleship Delaware now at Vera Cruz
to take the Minister aboard his ship
and convey him to Cuba II he desired
II Is understood, however. the Minister
ish ship and declined the courtesy ex-
tended him by the United States.
While Carranza's action in ordering
the deportation Of the Spanish Minister
is looked on as offensive. II is admitted
that the Constitutionalist chief was
wholly within his rights. The Spanish
Minister had never been accredited TO
Carranza and therefore was in Mexico
city only on suffrance His Govern
ment has never recognized Carranzs's
Government so has no claim that the
relations between the Minister and Car
rama were more than de facto.
1t Is expected, however. that the ex-
pulslon of the Minister will make the
relations between the Spanish and Car
rama Governments even worse than at
present and will figure In the final ac-
counting of Spain with Mexico for what
has occurred in that country for the
last four years. II is not expected.
however that the Spanish Government
will attempt any reprisal against Car
rama directly at this time. though 80
far az the United states is concerned.
Spain is absolutely free TO do as she
pleases.
II was recalled to-day that the Rel
gian, British and Russian diplomatic
representatives practically have been
forced to leave Mexico city by Car
rama since he first gained control there
last August The British Legation.
however. was maintained after the with
drawal Of Sir Lionel Garden and IL is
understood the Spanish Minister left
his affairs in the hands OF the British
charge for the present.
II is thought possible that the ex-
pulsion of the Spanish Minister may
lead to the withdrawal of other Euro
pean missions from Mexico IL Is known
that most of the diplomats now there
have suggested TO their Governments
that they be Withdrawn owing to the
difficulties OF the situation. particularly
in regard to their relations with Car
rama and his Government
A number of them have been author
lied to use their own judgment In the
matter. II Is expected the Brazilian
Minister who is looking after ,the in
terests OF the United States will be
the last TO leave II there is a general
exodus of diplomat.
The Carranza agency issued a lonI
statement here to-day maintaining Car
ranza's right to deport the Spanish Min
lister II he found his presence I'm Mexico
J objectionable. A number OF precedents
