State Departments Request Declined Be

A final reply has been received by the
State Department from The Mexican gov
eTnment TO its request that Charles Kratz
be turned over to this country trial
on charges Of bribery growing out of his
service as councilman IN the city OF St
Louis. Mexico positively refuses to ex-
tradite Kratz.
Kratz, when accused Of having accepted
bribe, fed to Mexico. Negotiations were
opened BY the State Department for his
extradition, although the treaties Of this
country with Mexico make no provision
for extradition for the crime of bribery.
The State Department, however. requested
that as an act Of grace Mexico turn the
man over to the authorities of the United
States for trial
In its first reply the Mexican govern
ment expressed a willingness to extradite
Kratz II this country would recfprocate in
the cases Of Mexieans who sought refuge
in the United States As it is impossible
under the laws OF this country to extra
dite any escaped criminal, except for
crimes specifically covered by treaty, the
department could not promise reciprocity
to Mexico. IN view o. this fact the Mexi-
can government has declined this Gov
ernments request.

SUGAR TRUST FIGURES
DIFFER FROM RECORDS
Not Like War Departments
Accounts of Purchases.

Arthur Donner, treasurer or the Ameri-
can Sugar Refining Company, commonly
known as the sugar trust, was The first
witness this morning before the Senate
Committee on Relations with Cuba when
it resumed its investigation into the
question Of the amount Of Cuban sugar
owned by the trust.
In answer to Chairman PIatt. Mr.. Don
ner said that he had heard the testf-
money Of President Hayemeger yesterday
and he declared that it was correct. He
said SO 600 tons of Cuban sugar had been
purchased since January l and no more
could have been bought without his know
ing ta4Er fact as treasurer Of the company
He promised to send detailed statement
of tn several purchases aad their dates.
Mr.. PIatt read a statement from the
War Department to the effect that the
purchase by the trust IN Cuba up to
March % amounted to only 2,2s5 tons,
but the witness was unable TO explain the
discrepancy.
Mr. DOnneT was then excused and Mr..
Henry c. Mott, the buyer of raw sugars
for the trust, took the stand. He con
firU.ed the statements of the two preced-
ing witnesses regarding the amount OF
sugar bought. declared the owners of
sugar in Cuba would get the benefit of
any reduction, and said his company had
not bought as much Cuban sugar this
year as in former years, because its own
ers have been holding it in anticipation OF
benefits from the United States
Mr.. Teller not being ready to proceed
with any cross examination, the COM
mittee at this point adjourned until Mon
day, when President Havemeyer and MIR
Mott Will resume their testimony.

italian H-ime minister. who had promised
the liberation Of the officers.

ably be the trial of Captain Wynne,
Surgeon Ledbetter and Lieutenants Dodd-
ridge and Kress by naval court martial.
a strong belief exists at the Navy De-
partment- however. that an Investigation
Of the affair VIII show that the four Of
ficers have not been guilty Of any great
violatica Of the regulations. From the
dispatches received from Commander
Dayton there is an Indication that the
trouble between the American officers and
the populace was largely due to a mis-
understanding. due 10 the inability Of The
Two factions to understand one another
