LEGATION orrnE U. s. OF AMER

LEGATION OF THE U. s. OF AMER. CA
MEXICO, I'd February, 1912. =
Inc undersigned, Envoy Extraordinary and Minis.
ter Penlpotentlary of The United States of Amer,ca
represents to his ExceIency Jose Maria de BocaGe
gIa, Minister of Foreign Relations and Government,
that George Wilkins Kendall, one of the Texan pri.
soners now near this capital citizen of the United
States and mas not, by any act OF hostility to ths
country, placed himself beyond its protection He
was In no manner connected with the expedition
marching on the department OF Sante Fe last summer
except as private traveller He at all times refuse
10 accompany The party IN any other character and
was az length permitted, # not invited by the officers
/ to JOIN them in that capacity.
This he finally did, under the impression that il
would protect him from hostile Indians and robbers
and that there would be Improperly in his act as
he mad taken the precauon to procure passport from
the Mexican Consul at New Orleans, manitestinr his
citizenshp, and showing the Object Of his visit to this
country.
After the expedition had passed through the hostile
tribes OF Indians, and approached the capital of New
Mexico, Mr. Kendall, with all his baggage, left the
patty, and entered the city of Santa Fee He pr. sent
ed himself, with his passport Immediately to the Gov.
ernor (who either detans or has DESTROYED that docu
ment,) and MIR. Kendall was Informed that he must
be sent as prisoner TO Mexico.
From the facts stated in regard to this gentleman,
he undersigned is under the fullest convection that
the relation in which he stood to the Sante Fe expe-
dltion was that OF tourist travelling for amusement
