MEXICO DEFIANT.
THE KIDNAPPED CONSUL. NOTE TO THE STATES. By Telegraph.—Press Assn.—Copyright. Received Dec. 1, 11.30 p.m. Mexico City, Nov. 27. The Note sent to the United States justifying Mr. Jenkins' imprisonment concludes: "Mr. 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' detention. This, however, is not meant to say that Mr. Jenkins is guilty. That could only he determined after trial. No Government could make diplomatic representations for one or its. citizens except in the ease of a miscarriage of justice. Neither in the United States nor in Mex'ico could a citizen on trial be released by order of the executive. It would be strange if in Mexico an American citizen enjoyed more lights than in his own country."— Aus.-N.Z. Cable Assn.
