LEGATION OF THE U. S. OF AMERICA,
MEXICO, March 18th, 1912

\,
MEXICO March l7th 1912
The undersigned, Envoy Extraordinary and Minis
ter Penlpotentlaiy OF the Unled States of America
represents to HIS Exceency, Mr.. de Bucanegra, that
OIL Friday the 18th of last month"; several American
gentlemen then about to leave this capital the
shop of John Togno in the Gale de Refugo, three
bundles, their contents puTportlng to be clothes for
the Texan prisoners confined in the eat OF ST.
Iago, accompanied with the request to that person
to have them to the prisoners the earliest op
portunity. On the succeeding Sunday, in compliance
with the request of the American gentlemen whose
charity had induced them to aid IN mitigating the
misfortunes of the prisoners, Mr.. Togno sent the
clothes, with cargadur TO the convent of 81 lago,
under the care of his foreman, Domingo Vargos.-
He reached the convent before the bundles had
rived with MIR Vargas, and obtained permission from
the commandant of that post Don lgnacio Vega, TO
introduce them into the apartment OF the prisoners
But before this was done they were deposited by Mr.
Togno befre the door of the entry and he requested
that they might be examined by the commandant to
that he had design to introduce improper arti
ces TO the PRISONERS. In the first bundle found
nothing but clothes which had been used. The Sc
cond contained stockings socks, slippers, suspenders,
caps and small rope which the officer said could

that he wished nothing TO enter but such things as
met inc en'ire appreciation OF the officer in command
The third bundle contained mattress blankets
sheets, cloak, and mats, and few pieces of small
ropes and strings of leather, none of which il is
thought, exceeded one rdrd in length Mr.. Vega
said the ropes and leather strings could not be per
mted to enter, to which Mr. Togne replied II do
wish to introduce single article without your
appreciation 1t may be necessary to mention that
most of the articles in the three bund alluded to,
were used by officers Of the United States Navy in
travelling from Acapulco to this capital. Hearing of
the destitute condition of the Texan prisoners they
concluded TO send every thing they could spare TO
relieve their immediate wants Mr.. rogno was en-
trusted with the presentation of this small charity
and without knowledge of what they contained, or
an examination of the bundles, he made his appear
ance at the convent of St Iago, and urged that,
well fol his satisfaction for that ofthe officers
