LEGATION OF THE U. S. OF AMERICA,

LEGATION OF THE U. S. OF AMERICA
Mexico, March 18th, 1912.
The undersigned Envoy Extraordinary and Minis
ter Penipote of the United States Of America,
represents to His Excelency, Mr. de Bocanegra, that
on Friday the 18th of last month"; several American
gentlemen then about to leave this capital sent to the
shop of John Togno in the Gale de Refugio, three
bundles their contents puIportng to be clothes for
the Texan prisoners confined in the convent of ST.
Iago accompanied with the request to that person
to have them the prisoners at the earliest OPP
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 a cargador TO the convent of ST. lago
under the care of his foreman Domingo Vargos.-
He reached the convent before the bundles had ar
rived with Mr. Vargas, and obtained permission from
the commandment of that post, Don lgnacio Vega, to
introduce them into the apartment OF the prisoners
But before this was done they were deposited by MI
Togno before the door of the entry and he requested
that they might be examined by the commandant, to
that he had design to introduce improper artl-
cles to the prisoners In the first bundle was found
nothing but clothes which had beer used. The Sc
cond contained stockings socks, slippers, suspenders,
caps and small rope which the officer said could not
go in. To which Mr.. Togno Immediately replied
that he wished nothing to enter but such things as
met the entire appreciation OF the officer in command.
The third bundle contained a mattress, blankets,
sheets cloak, and mats, and few pieces of small
ropes and strings of leather, of which, it is
thought, exceeded one in length Mr.. Vega
said the ropes and leather strings could not be per-
mitted to enter, to which Mr.. Togns replied 81 do
no, wish to introduce a single article without your
appreciation" 1t may be necessary to mention that
most of the articles in The three bund es 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.. Togno was en-
trusted with the presentation of this small charity,
and without knowledge of what they contained, or
examination of the bundles, he made his appear
at Ihe convent of ST. Iago, and urged that, as
well for his own satisfaction for that ofthe officers,
