or makes such other disposition as the courts
consider best
Captain Manuel Azueta. the official represen-
tative of the Government of Mexico. filed this
morning forma! protest against the seizure of
the Tdmpico and the Rio Cruz, the warships
building here.
This seizure was made some days ago to cover
the cost of material furnished the Crescent
company and used in their construction. One
of the captains associates said the protest was
a formal matter. The Mexican commission
holds that the Mexican Government owns the
boats. 1t has paid for them the work ad-
vanced, and only one, the final payment, Is to
be made. That is not yet due.

would be jeopardzed if lepers were carried giving
Them therefore, right to refuse TO transport such
persons.
The question will be thoroughly discussed and
some plan will be devised to concentrate the epers
Acting Governor Hartzell will be asked to order
the mayors of all the cities to gather all the epers
in their respective towns. that they may be

The leper colony of Porto Rico is on Cabras
