PERSONA NON GRATA.
Consul General Long IL barred by
Private Complaints.

CITY OF MEXICO. July 21.-James b.
Long for whom there was recently made
an application to the secretary of foreign
affairs for the issuance of an execuatur
permitting him to officiate as United States
consul general at Chihuahua, has been re-
fused on the score that he is persona non
grata. The refusal is based on a report
submitted to Ignacio Mariscal and sub
scribcd to by Governor Aheumada of Chi
huahua, in which private Information was
given regarding Longs action, but the ma
ture of this is not known.
1t is learned at the State Department
that James Il. Long, to whom the Mexican
government IS reported to have refused an
exequatur. was really named as United
States commercial agent at the small town
of Pardl in the state of Chihuahua, and not
as consul general at Chihuahua, which Of
flee does not exist. The place Is worth
nothing in emoluments and has no salary
allowance. Mr.. Long, who is a native Of
Pennsylvania. is a resident Of Paral and
at the suggestion of the United States con-
sui at Chihuahua. based on desire to have
some one at hand to look out for American
interests in Parai, the State Department
selected him commercial agent. If the
Mexican government has declined to issue
him a certificate of recognition, which 1t
has unquestionable right TO do, the
State Department will drop the matter and
allow the place to go without agent.
