GOVERNMENT INVESTIGATION
Into Arroyo's Death a, City Of Mexico, Bui
Arroyo Remains Dead.

City of Mexico, Sept. 19.-Eduardo
Velsquese, chief of police, Lieut.. Cab
reora, assistant chief Of detectives, and
Commandant Maure Sanchez were ar
rested, last night, and placed in soli-
tary confinement by order of the fifth
criminal judge to whom had also been
turned over u prisoners arrested for
entering the municipal buildi.ig onlthe
night of the recent >lyiiching. Public
opinion is behind the government and
the investigation will be pushed rapid
ly. Tht officials arrested were accom-
panied to the prison by the new chief
of police.
The government by these arrests
has taken precautions deemed by popu-
lar sentiment which has become ex-
cessvely irritated, for the public does
not understand why a prisoner of so
great importance as Arroyo should be
left in charge of unarmed officials.
Hight officials of the federal govern
ment have to some extent shared the
popular feeling and it is reported that
at the regular cabinet meeting, Fri
day, several ministers urged that the
conduct of the police should be
thoroughly investigated.
A communication was accordingly
sent to Gov. RebolIar, of the federal
district. for transmission to the in
spector general, in which the latter was
informed that he must Immediately
give up his office. He is censured for
not having taken proper precautions in
guarding the prisoner.
