Reply of Governor,
this Governor Swettenham re
plied as follows:
'Dear Admiral—Thanks very much
for your letter, your kind call and all
the assistance given or offered us.
While I most heartily appreciate the
very generous offers of assistance, 1
feel It my duty to aak you to re-om-

“If In consideration of the American
vice consul's aaelduoua attentions to

American consulate needs guarding In
your opinion, although ho waa present
and It was not guarded an hour ago,
1 have no objection to your detailing n

enter's attitude toward the American
marlnea was Inspired by resentment of
President Roosevelt's objection to Ja
maican negroes on the Panama canaL
When Admiral Davis called oo tho
governor to say good-bye. he was kept
waiting fifteen minutes and waa pre
paring to return to hie ship when the
governor appeared. A brief private
meeting took place and the admiral
was escorted to his carriage by the
governor.
Admiral Davis said ha deeply regret-
dad the stand taken by tho governor.
When he learned that hla Idea of a
salute had nut bean wall received. Ad
miral Davla wrote the following letter
to ihe governor:
My Dear Governor—I beg you lo
accept my apology for the mistake of
the salute this afternoon. My order
tvn* misunderstood, and tha disregard
of your wishes was due to a mistake In
the transmlsalon of my order. I hope
the apparent disregard of your wishes
111 be overlooked.
Admiral Lands Party.
"I landed working parties from both
ships today to aid In clearing tba va
rious streets and buildings, and propose
landing parUes tomorrow for the s*TOO
purpose, unless you expressly do not
desire It. I think a great deal may be
done In the way of assistance to pri
vate Indlvlduali without Interferrlng
with tho forces of yourself and the
government officials. As the only ob-
; ect of my being here lo to render such
assistance as I can. I trust you will
Justify me In this matter for the cause
of common humanity.
"I had a patrol of alx men ashnre
today to guard and secure the arehlvo*
of the United States consulate, together
with a parly of ten clearing away
wreckage. This party after finishing
Us work at tho consulate assisted work
ing parties to catch thieves, recovering
from them a safe taken from a Jewelry
store, valued at SP.000. From this I
Judge that the police surveillance of
the city Is Inadequate for tho protection
of private property.

"Actuated by the same motives,

task of relieving the distress. This, he
said, waa. evidenced by the fact that
tha hospital established by the Ameri

medical men opposed this hospital
from the first.
