the special agent of the state department, is
concerned in much better light. The cor

which Mr.. Sedgwick was invited. He ar
rived about 10 O'Clock and soon began to,
play billiards T He conversed during the
evening with Sebastian Camacho, prom
inent Mexican capitalist, and many other
leading officials At o'clock all sat down to
supper. Sedgwick did not dance, but with
some others remained at the table At 5 in
the morning, he. in company with seven
others, all well known Mexican society men,
left the jockey club room and went to the
Iturbide hotel, Sedgwick's residence, which

tho Others went into the second patio, or
yard, and began to, dance. Sedgwick and
one other fell down. Five Of them then took
a common street cab, b,uu among whom was
Sedgwick. The cab took its way to a gay
part Of town There are many rumors Of
what happened next, but it is alleged that

ment he had with Gen Diaz, at IL o'clock on
Saturday morning. Gen. Diaz waited until
IL o'clock. 0h' ''
There are many rumors about town, but
from all the facts it is very certain that
Sedgwick was neither drugged nor was there
any foul play, but it seems to be the case
where the altitude has played its trick on a
stranger who was not accustomed to live
5000 feet above the level Of tue sea.
Mr. Sedgwicls, when interviewed in his
room at the hotel Iturbide, said he had heard
rumors that it was reported that he had been
insulted and smaitreated by Moxicans at and
after the ball of the jockey club. He also
understood that tele2rams had been sent
from here oithe United States on the same
question; that he had received kilograms
from friends in New York, asking him to
deny statements published there, bnt as he
does not know what was published he has
asked for information bafore saying anything
on the subject He sail that he had seen
nothingSiu prmtinl Mexico iandawas unaw are
that anything had transpired in witch the
public could in any way be interested He
said he took,tats Opaortmttyto to deny in the
strongest terms that he WAS insulted or NAL
treated by Mexicans or ali ,bofy else, but on
the contrary that he had a-deli ghtful time at
the ball, and remained there until alhte
hour.
When asked about the reports that he was
Intoxicated and taat he failed to keep an ap-
pointment he had with President Dial, he an
swered that he did not come here accredited
to Diaz, ana wanted to know where Diaz
waited for him until II o'clock Hs added
that if any person could be found who at
tended the ball, and saw him in the condi-
tion he was said to have besn in, at or after
the ball, and would charge him with it, then
he would deny the story. He said he came
here to Investigate the Cutting affair, and
was very busy attending toft, and he believed
that Che people were trying to make q second
Cutting out of him. 49," "l'.I''i.,- d ''''
