WHY MARSHAL MEADE WAS ARRESTED.
Ell PAso, lex, March l2.--Senor Lauro
Carrillo, Acting Governor Of the State "
chihuahua, Mexico, is here. Janos, the
town where United States Marshal Meade,
OF Arizona, was arrested by Mexican au-
thorities, IL in the State Of Chihuahua,
and therefore within Governor Carrillo's
jurisdiction. Gov. Carrllo Is fully in
formed about the arrest, and said yestsr
day:
"The United States officers were arrest
cd because, without either authority under
the treaty or permission from Mexican
officers, they were found in Mexico IN
arms in pursuit Of alleged train robbers.
The arrest was made by Mexican custom
officials. was informed az promptly as
a courier could carry the message from
Janos to chihuahua, rido of q day or
more. at once telegraphed the facts to
the City OF Mexico and requested instruc.
tons from the Federal Government. I
was directed 70 order the United States
officials released, but not to return their
arms TO them. dispatched this order TO
Janos by courier, and suppose that Mar
shall Meade and his aids have been re-
leased before this. The Mexican author.
tiles would gladly have detailed officers to
join the United States officers In pursui,
Of the robbers had q request for such aid
been made. The action Of the United
States officers was clearly without warrant
and could not be overlooked"
The Mexican authorities say that there
is no treaty or convention now in force
authorizing officers Of one Government TO
cross into the territory Of the other Gov.
srnment in pursuit OF any class Of outlaws.
A convention was made between the
Uuited States and Mexico some time ago.
permitting the of6cers or troops OF either
Government 70 pursue hostile Indians
across the border, but that convention
has expired. 1t is reported that at the
time Of tho arrest Meade and his posse
were but two hours behind the robbars.
