WASHINGTON, July 9,-Tho Mex.
lean Legation has official informa-
ton concerning Santa Annals ar
rest, contradicting the statement
that he was forcibly taken from the

letter to Senator Trnmbull, says !:

suffrage, a general amnesty, nam
ing the exceptions. A more liberal
amnesty is, in my Judgment, essen.
