THE KIDNAPPED CONSUL
JIEXIGAN NOTE TO THE TJNITED STATES. (Eec-. December 1, 11.10 p.m.) Mexico City, November 27. A Note has been sent to Ihe- Imited States Government justifying Jenkins's imprisonment, and concluding: "iilr. Jenkins signed contradictory declarations regarding his kidnapping, and the Mexican Court has enough evidence to support a charge. Of perjury, which would justify Mr. Jenkins's detention. llus, however, is not meant to fcay that Jlr. Jenkins is guilty. That could only bo determined after trial. No (jovemment could make diplomatic representations for one of its citizens except in the case ot a miscarriage of justice. Neither in the United States nor in Mexico could a citizen on trial bo released by order ot the executive. It would be strange ir in Mexico an American citizen enjoyed more rights 'than in his oivn country. — United Service.
