idents of Kingston Do Not Like His Actions. AMERICAN HELP REFUSED ADMIRAL DAVIS WOULD NOT RE MAIN AT STRICKEN CITYY AFT ER HIS OFFER OF RATIONS WAS TURNED DOWN. Publishers' Press.J New York, Jan. 21. The feature of the news from Kingston, Jamaica, 1b the declination of S:r James Alexan der Swettenham, governor of Ja maica, to accept aid from the United States squadron, and th departure in consequence of the United States ships under command of Rear Ad miral Davis. Swettenham's action appears not to have met the views of the people, and city officials of Kingston. It is reported that the city council met after LBKXBAZ. C H. SATIS. the Incident became known, disapproved the governor's action, and not only sent a letter of regret to Rear Admiral Davis, but asked him to reconsider his decision to leave, and remain with the United States ships, aa very aid was still urgently needed. Davis said he had no alternative but to go. In accordance with the desire of the constituted authorities. English newspaper comment on the Incident is unanimous in regretting the occurrence and in expressing the hope that the good relations existing between the United States and Great Britain will not be endangered thereby. Swettenham's explanation of his course and the outcome of the incident are awaited everywhere with keen interest. A dispatch says that Governor Swettenham, in addition to refusing aid from Rear Admiral Davis, declined an offer sent by the war department of the United States to extend immediately to Kingston 10,000 rations which were Intended for the troops in Cuba. While this incident was taking place at Kingston, Secretary Root was receiving a cordial welcome in another British province as the guest of the governor of Ottawa. Admiral Davis was United States commissioner to the international commission of inquiry on the Russo-BriUsh North Sea incident which met in Paris in 1904. commanded the cruiser Dixie during the Spanish war, and later had command of the. battleship Alabama before he was made division commander. Up to the time Admiral - Davis departed the situation was improving, but the work was much retarded by the governor declining further assistance from Davis. The banks at Kingston resumed payments, but no attempt has been xnade to start general business. The financial loss by earthquake end fire is- now estimated at $15,000,000. ' London Comment.

instruction ami worshir in Premier Clemenceau's cabinet. To him has fallen

the unpleasant task of bringing about is forty years of age and a prominent oy Governor swettennam wouia De difficult to justify in almost any circumstances." At the same time the paper says "it is possible a praiseworthy desire to do his utmost in the cause of humanity pushed Admiral Davis beyond the necessities of the case, and led him to encroach too far on the sphere of British authority." The Westminster Gazette says "there can be nothing but regret at the fact that any difficulty has arisen between Admiral Davis and Governor Swettenham," and while awaiting a fuller explanation adds: "In the meantime the United States can be assured that we in this country deeply appreciate the generous, sympathetic way in which its citizens view assistance to the British colony." The colonial ofBce received a dis-. patch from Governor Swettenham asking the British government to convey to the government of the United States the thanks of Jamaica for the assistance rendered by Admiral Davis. The telegram contained no mention of the incident involving the departure of the United States warships. From Kingston to Cuba. Guantanamo, Cuba, Jan. 21. The United States battleships Missouri, Indiana and Yankton arrived here from .Kingston, it was .stated that Governor swettenham hem up faaturday night's dispatches from Kingston icgarding his letter to Rear Admiral Davis, requesting him to re-embark the marines landed to assist in the relief work ashore. Just previous to the departure of the United States warships the mayor and city council of Kingston sent a petition to the admiral begging him to remain and the relief committee, headed by Archbishop Hubball, threatened to retign. When the United States sur geons left the hospital the patients wept and begged them and the United States warships to stay.

RAILS SPREAD; MANY HURT The "Record" Train on Frisco Line, Running at 30 Miles an Hour When Derailed. Publishers' Press.7 ferownwooa, Texas, Jan. 21. The "Record" train on the 'Frisco railroad was derailed 10 miles north of Brownwood. The train was running at 30 miles an hour when the track spread and all the coaches went into the ditch except the Pullman sleeper. The embankment where the wreck occurred was not high, but. the cars turned completely over, injuring a score of passengers, some seriously. ANTI-LOBBY BILLS CAUSE OF STORM (Continued from Page One.) ly postponed. - Then for fifty-five minutes the Farber bill was up. On motion of Wood (dem.) the senate decided to reconsider the Farber bill which had been advanced earlier in the afternoon. Alter voting to reconsider, the senate was asked to discuss the question as to whether the bill should receive the same killing that Slack's measure had indefinite postponement. The argument was warm. Twenty-five senators participated and when the vote was taken the motion to indefinitely postpone was lost by 39 to 9. The Farber bill, therefore, will come up for consideration on third reading, and if the vote this afternoon, or rather tonight, for it was after six o'clock, when the end came, is a test of strength, it will be passed. The democrats attempted ' another smooth play this afternoon when they tried to substitute the name of Thomas A. Hendricks for that of General Lew Wallace, in the bill by Senator, Thomas Moore, which proposes that the state place a statue of Wallace in the hall of fame, Washington. Senator Carl Wood, democratic leader, tried the trick, but he failed ignominiously for the motion to amend failed. Then Senator Beardsley, republican, a great admirer of General Benjamin Harrison, made a motion to amend by substituting the name of Harrison for that of Wallace. This motion was killed. There was much routine business and many new bills in both branches this afternoon, but everything was overshadowed by the senate's comedy over the anti-lobby bills. Investigate Fowler Wreck.

Recession of the High Waters in Ohio Valley May Be Slow, However.

CHANGE IN THE WEATHER SUDDEN AND OPPORTUNE COLD SPELL -CUTS OFF LIKELIHOOD OF MORE RAIN LAWRENCEBURG IS SAFE. Publishers' Press.J vTHCIuult, KJ !J, J L. i. . JT . 3 river became stationary at 55.2 feet. It is thought that the crest of the flood hag been reached. Many frame buildings in the lower part of the city collapsed as a result of the flood. The forecaster at the weather station said the end of the flood is in sight, but that high water will prevail some time. He said: "The sudden and opportune though severe change in the weather removed all chance of more rain and, therefore, any material further rise in the river. High winds and cold weather prevailed throughout the valley, checking the further slow rise in the lower part of the Cincinnati district. A long interval of stationary condition, preceded by a further slight rise, not to exceed 65 feet, is indicated, but the end of the present rise Is practically here. When a fall sets in it will be as slow as the rise was, possibly slower, and we will have high water some time. There is a small rise in the Parkersburg district which need cause no anxiety here, since it can hardly have any effect down here." Slow recession of the water may reduce the amount of damage to property because of the less racking experience buildings will have to endure, but the cold weather which helped to stop the flood will occasion far greater suffering to those whose homes re in the flooded sections and who are temporarily housed in schools and vacant buildings, and are being fed by neighbors and charitable organizations. Reports from Lawrenceburg and Aurora, Ind., which were threatened with destruction by the flood are that both towns are safe, although the danger increases hourly. The levees are still intact, but residents of those cities will not rest easy until the waters recede. Hundreds of men stand ready to block the first break in the levee. Many Lawrenceburg people left for inland points. At Marietta, Ohio, the river was stationary at 39 feet. The heavy wind did much damage in the oil fields, blowing down rigs and doing other damage. Shawneetown, 111., Jan. 21. A statement of conditions prevailing in Shawneetown, which is threatened with destruction by floods, was made by Mayor Kratz. He stated that 600 persons have fled from the town, including members of his own family, who went to Evansville, Ind., and 40 families are living in tents. All residents whose homes are tenable are' occupying the second stories, and business is at a standstill. The mayor said: "The levee which protects the city from the Ohio river will hold until the stage reaches 53 feet. If that figure is reeorded, we do not know what will happen to Shawneetown. It is impossible to say just when the crisis will be reached. It has not rained here since Saturday, but the river is steadily rising. We are making every effort to fortify the levee." The stage of the river Monday was 48 feet. New Orleans, Jan. 21. Preparations are being hurried forward to handle the high water from the Ohio valley, which- is expected to arrive here by the end of the week. Mayor Behrman was authorized to spend money for all necessary emergency supplies. Trains loaded with sandbags will be held in readiness by railroads which parallel the levees, ready to be rushed wherever levees show indications of weakness. With the flood crest still days away, the water in the river is already near the tops of the levees. Wheeling, W. Va., Jan. 21. The flood reached its crest here at 37 feet. The water is falling and all danger is thought to. be over. Back to Cincinnati. j Publishers PresaJ Cincinnati,., Jan. 21.
