" These quotations go to show that Carranza was not
over-pleased with the work of conducting the spy department in Canada.
He takes the trouble to criticize Cervera's actions, and he alludes to
him as "Don Pasquale," and says that he cannot believe that the Admiral
would do such a stupid thing as to get caught in Santiago, his purpose
being to attack the American fleet and delay the invasion of Cuba. This
letter demonstrates very clearly the wisdom of the Government in keeping
carefully guarded all knowledge of the movements of our army and navy,
for Carranza has taken advantage of the statements published and
information easily obtained heretofore, and has kept his Government
informed, and has also personally been advising Admiral Cervera whenever
opportunity offered: he speaks of having cabled to Cervera on 20th of
May. Our Government has made application to the English Government for
the expulsion of the Spanish spies from British territory.
Kellert, the Montreal detective, has caused the arrest of both Du Bosc
and Carranza, in a civil suit for damages for false imprisonment; so the
Spaniards are in hotter water than ever, especially as all of their
money in the Bank of Montreal has been seized as security.
