THAT MEXICAN LYNCHING
INDICATION CONTINUES TO w.
CREASE, STIMULATED BY PRESS
DISCLOSURES.
GOVERNMENT ACTING WITH F|RMAESS
Determined to Punish the Mob, II Pro-
cceding Tint VIII he Wholly at
Variance with the Establish
ed Texas Rule.

City OF Mexico. Sept. 20.-Public Inter
est i!l the alleged lynching of Arroyo con
| tihues to increase, stimulated by the
startling rumors and disclosures in the
press, for us light begins to be thrown
| on the matter. it is seen that there Is
strong probu bility that Arroyo was kill
| ed not by mob of people, but by som"
member or members of the police force
itself.
The government is acting with the ut
| most tirmness and energy in pushing the
investigation, and has caused the arrest
of Inspector Villaviceneio, of the Second
police district, suspected Of being lmpll-
Gated in the PLOT which it is justly felt
has brought disgrace on the police corps
as body. Villaviccncio is now i'll Belem
prison, in solitary confinement, ami all
supposed lynchers, mostly street pedd.ers,
loafers, etc, have been released as there
is no longer the slightest ground to hold
them-
Impartial (newspapcr), says tonight
that the arrest of officials presumed to BE-
responsible for the crime which il de-
clares was purely and simply murder,
strengthens it and the public in the belief
that the police officials now in the hands
Of justice are themselves responsible for
the crime. The impartial adds if it
comes to be proven, as is to be feared it
will be. that criminals have been insti-
gated by agents of the police, solely then
unon them and not on the entire body OF
the police, will the popular anathema
fall Gendarme Milanes, who was guard
ing Arroyo on the night of the crime, is
reported to have told a member of his
family on returning home in the morning,
that among the mob who entered the
municipal building were men whom he
recognized for in resisting one of them
he removed disguise from his face and
recognized him AMI also felt sure that
others were not citizens. Milanes is in
custody awaiting his legal statement
The Mexican Herald says the govern
ment is determined TO punish the guilty
persons whoever they may be. Nothing
has occurred for many years which has
so angered the people as this Incident.
No ora sypathized with Arroyo, but it
was felt that the report that the people
had resorted to the lynching was placing
stigma on the nation at large, and 1t
is just to say that popular Indignation is
no greater than that of the adminlstra--
ton which has apparently been betrayed
by certain officials of the police who had
been ordered to guard with the utmost
vigilance the weuId-be assassin.
There is no truth in the report that the
minister of the interior and the governor
of the federal district have resigned.
They are in no way responsible for the
act of the minor officials who violated
the honorable traditions of the police
force These men are above suspicion
and have been unremitting in their en-
deavor to punish the true authors of the
murder.
The body of Arroyo has finally been
buried after being delivered to his family.
