Admiral Davis arrived at Guantanamo with The Missouri and the Indiana as Kingston residents express deep indignation over the local government’s refusal of American aid after a devastating earthquake. Surgeons treated dozens in Kingston and at police quarters following the governor’s refusal. A Navy offer of assistance was declined by Governor Swettenham, prompting diplomatic notes as Kingston’s officials face criticism. In Jamaica’s colonial context, Sir James Alexander Swettenham, long in service, receives knighthood and decoration for colonial duties.
