Kingston, Jamaica, Jan. 21. — Bear Admiral Davis' mission of mercy to stricken Kingston has come to an abrupt and painful conclusion in consequence of (iovernor Swettenham's objection to the presence of American sailors engaged iu the work of clearing the streets, guurdlng property and succoring the wounded and sick on the ground that they were not needed. Governor Swettenham's objection culminated iu a letter to the admiral peremptorily requesting him to re-embark all parties which had been landed. or be petitioned to resign. His action Is construed by some as inspired by resentment of President Boosevelt's attitude toward Jamaican negroes on the Panama canal. Others ridicule th? governor's objection to the landing of American sailors armed or not armed. The Insecurity of the city Is evidenced by the attempt on Friday night by six negroes to waylay a midshipman from the Missouri, who drew his revolver and put liis assailants to (light. Today the grand Jury went Into the investigation of Pittston city and Plttston township. At the morning session Mine Inspector McDonald was examined and this afternoon the cool companies' representatives are to be called The testimony taken today will be In connection with the holdings of the Lehigh Valley and Pennsylvania coal companies. When the case was called considerable difficulty was experienced in selecting a jury. The usual excuses were made and out of the first fifty jurors called but four were selected. Among them was Abel B«-ynon, of this city. The jury box was finally filled and the (rial was ready to proceed this afternoon, when the attorneys for the defense interposed their plea. It caused some surprise. The defendant was represented by B. It. Jones and Frank McGuigan, and Evan C. Jones appeared for the Commonwealth. The cause of the disuster has not been fully explained, but several theo rles are advanced. The result was terrible. The shock was felt for thirty miles, many believing it to be an earth- "There were many heartrending scenes, but one of (he most pitiful came beneath my immediate notice. We had found a mother and five children buried beneath the ruins of u cottage. While efforts were being made to get the woman and little ones from beneath the wreckage a soldier came up and shouldered his way In between the workers. It was the father and husband. When he saw his wife and children lying in the wreckage of the house he stepped back and. drawing a revolver, sent a bullet into his head, killing himself Instantly." The streets of the burned district still reek with the stench of decaying bodies. The burned ruins were Illuminated only by the baleful glow of the corpse tires lining the roadways. MILLION DOLLAR FIRE It was the first time Thaw had left the Tombs since his commitment there June "_'S last, just three days after the tragedy. The duy of trial has beeu long in coming to the young prisoner, but Thaw still has n few days to wait. His trial was set down to begin this morning and he was accordingly presented at the bar. But Justloa John .1. Fitzgerald had another case pending, that of Matthew Hilgert, the maker of "magic boofs, " and It Is thought that Wednesday will ba the very earliest moment that the real work of the Thaw trial can'ba begun. Admiral Davis was greatly shocked and pained and paid a formal visit to Governor Swettenham, informing him that the United States battleships Mis sourl and Indiana and the gunboat Yankton would sail from Kingston at once.

McKeivey's department store, where the sprinklers checked it when it threatened to spread to the public square and be carried no one knew how far by the terrific gale blowing. Friction Began Early. Washington, Jan. 21.—Acting Secretary of State Ha coil, when shown the dispatch from Kingston regarding Gov ernor Swettenham's attitude toward Hear Admiral Davis, at once declared that It was not true. He said that the newspapers were trying to make trou ble lietweeti Admiral Davis and Governor Swettenham. "There Is not any truth in It," he said emphatically. "I know what 1 am talking about. The ships have not sailed. I know exactly what happened, and." he added, "there Is no foundation for it in any manner. That is perfectly straight. If you are looking for the facts these are the facts." Another theory is that gas escaping from an oil pipe line entered the powder car standing by the pipe and that a spark from the passenger locomotive ignited the gas. Two Hundred Talesmen Chosen, The friction between the governor and the admiral began with the arrival of the American war vessels, when the governor objected to the firing of a salute in his liotaor on tiie ground that the citizens might mistake the firing for a new earthquake. He also declared there was no necessity for American aid, that his government was fully able lo preserve order, tend the wounded and succor the homeless. In the meantime 2C)C talesmen, members of a special Jury panel for the Thaw trial, will have to await the call of the court. This large Jury list is remarkable in many ways. It has been selected with the greatest of care, and every effort has been made to avoid the constant or professional juror. On the whole, the conduct of the populace has been admirable. There have been only a few attempts at looting, and these have been confined to rum The belief was expressed by oue ot two persons that the disaster was due to the act of a tramp or an intoxicated man who may have tired a shot Intel CHANGE OF PASTORS.

Catholic church of St. John the Baptist next Wednesday when Rev. Andrew Pavco will leave to assume the pastorate of St. Joseph\s church, Hnzleton, and Rev. Mathew Jankola. a formei pastor of St. John's, will again become pastor here. Father Jankola has been at Hazleton since leaving Plttston. The change is made because of strife that arose In Father Jankola's parish, although through no fault of his as a report made to Hishop Hoban proved. Wires strewed the streets in every part of the city. All gas and electric lighting plants were shut down owing to broken connection, leaving the city in total darkness. its need the Thaw-White tragedy has been Hear Admiral Davis, however, landed parties of bluejackets, who' patrolled the streets, cleared the debris, razed ruins, attended many of the wounded and won the highest praise from citizens and military officers for excellent keen and so long sustained, the coral ments on it have been so wide and diversified, that comparatively few of the talesmen will be able to say conscientiously that they have not formed some sort of an opinion. The total known dead is about 4rD0, and it is believed there are at least 150 persons who have not been accounted for. COLLISION ON LEHIGH VALLEY work Our Admiral Apologizes, City Fears Famine, New York, Jan. 21.—The gathering locally of supplies for the Kingston earthquake sufferers will, it is expected. be discontinued for the time being at least, and In view of the refusal on the part of Governor Swettenham of Jamaica to accept aid from American war vessels it is quite probable that the supplies now on the way to Kingston on the steamers Allegheny and Prinz Joachim will never reach that port.

Another clash occurred on the 1-e-higli Valley raltro:vd on Saturday at 1.10 p. »n. when the engine drawing the silk mill train from the'Beaver Meadow division crashed into a Pennsy engine at Oneida Junction. Fortunately no person was injured, although the passengers were severely shaken up. The crash was the result of a heavy fog. Engineer Moser, of the silk mill train, being unable to see the Pennsy train ahead of him. He had the right of way, however, and it is supposed that in ordering the Pennsy train on that track the fact of the silk mill train coming along at that time was overlooked, as this silk mill train runs at this time only on Saturday. There was a mishap at Cranberry Junction, several cars being derailed as the result of entering the point of a switch and it blocked the passageway of the Pennsy train from Nescopeck the latter was detoured via Long Run and Oneida Junction. But for the fact that both trains were running in the same direction the collision would have been attended by more serious consequences. As it was both engines were considerably damaged, their pilots being detached.

Father Paveo was appointed to St. John's four and one-half years ago, succeeding Father Jankola. The congregation had just built a new church, which is opposite the church of St. John the Evangelist, and is a very pretty edifice, at a cost of $30,000. The debt was heavy but under the careful management of Father Pavco it was reduced $20,000 during- his pastorate and it is now down to '{1,000. The congregation is a prosperous one and amity seems to be its watchword. Father Pavco is a man of much piety and is possessed of excellent judgment.

Ten persons were seriously injured and several uiore slightly hurt. The Kingston dispatches giving the correspondence exchanged between Governor Swettenham and Hear Admiral Davis are read with eager inter est. The incident occurs at a moment when the British press and public are loud in an expression of grateful recognition of the prompt and generous assistance the United States rendered when it was impossible owing to their distance from the scene for British warships to go to the rescue. In every quarter are heard mutterings, which portend the recall of the tactless and witless governor. . EPIDEMIC REPORT. William Oottschall, aged 31, of Boyertown, both legs crushed and lacerations of head. Not a word of blame is voiced against Admiral Davis by the British press today. The English newspapers either Withhold judgment, or openly" condemn Swettenham, and brand his blunder as a piece of blockheadedness. Five cases of typhoid fever were reported to the health authorities at Scranton today, and six new ones during the 24 hours ending at noon yesterday. Three deaths have occurred from this disease since Saturday. A large number of patients are being daily discharged from the Hospitals. Six cases of diphtheria were reported yesterday, and today there was one new case of diphtheria and one of scarlet fever. The total numbers of the three diseases, reported, are as follows: Typhoid. 1,087; diphtheria, 58; scarlet fever, 78. The passenger train was running fifty miles an hour and consisted of a combination coach, three sleeping curs aud a Big Four private car. occupied by Mrs. C. E. Schaff, wife of the vice president of the railroad. The train was destroyed by tire except the private car and one sleeping car. Seven of the dead have been identified. Eleven of the victims were burned to death in the combination coach, and only two of these have been identified. Howard Hartman, aged 24, Boyertown, face and neck cut. Our Surgeons Treat Injured William Muthart, aged 30, Boyertown. right arm sprained and face cut. Rear Admiral Davis said that he deeply regretted the governor's attitude. He was still convinced that the governor was unequal to the task of relieving distress anil that this was evident from the fact that the American tield hospital had attended many sick and wounded and others were constantly arriving, having been unable to gain admission to the government All the London dallies express the hope, editorially, that a commonsense view of the incident will prevail in the United States, and that the blunder of an individual will not be allowed to cool the present strong Anglo-Amerlcan friendship. All of the London newspapers have notified their New York correspondents to minimize the international aspect of the incident, and treat the matter as a personal one with Swettenham. When the collision occurred a Stony Creek car. which was loaded with passengers, had stopped at Three Posts, near Carsonia Park, to let off several of them. One of the large Oley Valley cars, in charge of Motorman Brunner, who was unable to see the car ahead because of a dense fog, crashed into the rear end with terrific, force.

The important question as to whether the British authorities at Kingston were in a position to maintain order appears to be debatable.
