ed States warships from Kingston.
Absolute secrecy is maintained at the colonial office,-but the fact was elicited that a good many telegrams were received from Swettenham, some of which deal with the incident. These, it is understood, confirm the main features of the affair, as already known. It Is not the present intention of the colonial office to make the telegrams public, the official view being that it is & personal affair between a government department and an official that is properly adjustable between them; and the authorities Incline to the view that general Interests will best be
served by having the replies appear in a blue book at some distant period, meantime being -dealt with through the usual diplomatic channels for intercourse between governments.

Mr. Graham, pastor of the Methodist church, who declared the governor was Justified in resenting the landing of Americans. "This Is a British colony, not Cuba or a SpanishAmerican republic," he said. Regarding the Davis incident, the governor
said he had not Invited Rear Admiral Davis to land sailors. Asked if he indorsed the action taken , by Rear Admiral Davis, the governor replied: "That is a matter between myself and Rear Admiral Davis, to whom I must refer you "
