ST. JOSEPH, Mo-, Sept. 13.-M. @. Esmcs.
q well known citizen of Chicago, accom-
panied by his son, was met last night on
the Santa Fe train. The gentlemsn,is re-
turning from an extensive trip through
the South and West, and is thoroughly
familiar with all the details of the Cutting
affair. "Can you say anything calculated
TO confirm the story Of Sedgwick's alleged
escapade at the Mexioancapitol?" was asked.
" Yes said he, land the story of that
nights debauch, in which Sedgwick was
the central figure, has not been half told.
While at Socorro, N. M, q few days ago
I met an acquaintance, a Chicago gentle
man OF wealth and prominence, who has
been a resident of the City Of Mexico for
nearly a year past. and who is familiar
with the Cutting scrspe and the subse-
quent action OF the Government in send
ing Sedgwick to investigate the matter.
He told me that he was in the City Of
Mexico when Mr.. Sedgwick arrived, and
saw him at the Hotel Iturbide. Sedgwick
came to the City of Mexico with o sort of
flourish of trumpets and was once sought
out and presented to the best people OF the
city-both ladies and gentlemen. Sedg
wick informed his Mexican admirers that
he had come among them as a friend from
the Governments be had the honor to rep
resent, that he had no desire to misrep-
resent; them in any manner, and that
he felt especially friendly to the people. OF
Mexico. He was lavish in his alteration

friendly terms possible. 1t is said that he
intimated strongly that he did not regard
the Cutting affair as one of great conse-
~quence, and was inclined to believe there
was more cry than wool. In the City Of Mex

wealthy. and who are themselves regarded
as the'' upper ten of Mexican society
They drove him about the city, pointed
out9 sights Of interest, and seemed to de-

evening had heightened into darkness and

of which you have read. The published
reports are true with the possible excep
ton that the members Of the club did no

placard on his coat-tail. In seeing the ele
plant the whole outfit got uproariousl,
drunk. In fact, they drank every place

streets OF the city, and made ROM

to a bouse that is run by American women
known as the -Four Minnies," as has
been made public. There appears to have
been a method in this course, viz, to hu
initiate him in the presence OF his own
people. Arriving in the disreputable
house they were ushered into the best
room, where several women Of the
house joined in the orgies that
followed. All manner Of vile and
vulgar toasts were proposed and drank,
j in which Sedgwick joined heartily. desir-
Il Ing at all times TO be agreeable to his new
found friends. He little knew or cared
what the nature of the tossts were So long
as they were proposed by the Mexican
dudes. Toasts applying the vilest dpithets
to the American Government and to the
81 people were proposed and drank with wild
1enthnsiasm, in which Sedgwick Joined,
not knowing that his Government was
being disgraced, and he q party to IL. No
wonder the dudes laughed at his credulity.
After this kind of debauchery had been
kept up for some time it is said he fell off
his chair in q drunken stupor, from which
he could not be aroused. The delight of
the Mexicans at the downfall OF the Amer.
lean representative knew no bounds.
Turning to the girls, who were American.
and who had witnessed the scene with
Fdeep chagrin, one of the dudes said:
" There is a representative Of your grea.

house, and Sedgwick was takentcare OF by
proprietress of the "Four Minnies."
