Mexican Wounded While Trying to
Escape From Custody.


Failure of a Mexican citisen to obtain
satisfaction from the authorities OF Cam
eron county. Texas. for personal injuries
suffered in THAI county evoked a serious
complaint to the Washington government
from the Mexican government against the
Texas authorities and caused Secretary
Hay several months ago to offer out OF ne
federal treasury $500 to Mexico In satisfac-
ton Of its Official claim for damages. The
story Is told in official correspondence pub
lished at the State Department today.
Eulogio Zambrano, Mexican citizen.
pawned a rife at Brownsville, Texas, be-
longing to a citizen of that town, was ar
rested and. while being carried to jail. 1t Is
claimed, he attempted to escape and was
shot at and wounded by Private Mckenzie
of the Texas Ranger force. The Mexican
consul reported that Zambrano was tried
and sentenced without any account being
taken by the court Of the wounds inflicted
by Mckenzie, but that the judge in passing
sentence upon the prisoner told him that
he inflicted light punishment because ne
had been wounded. This statement, In the
opinion of the Mexican government, al
forded ground to insist that the wounding
was unwarranted In q note to Secretary
Hay the Mexican ambassador at Washing
ton entered formal complaint against the
respect they usually evince for the lives
and interests of Mexicans residing on this
side of the border" and asked for an In
demnity in behalf of Zambrano.
Secretary Hay: in his reply. said: Il
have the honor to say that the department,
after careful consideration of all the cir
cumstances has reached the conclusion
that some compensation should be made to
Zambrano because Of the failure of the au-
thorities of Cameron. Texas, to try and
punish Ranger Mckenzie for unlawfuliy
shooting him, and 1t is willing to make pay
ment to you in behalf of Zambrano OF the
sum of $500 in full settlement Of the mat
ter"
This offer was accepted by the Mexican
government and the incident was closed.

THE MOROCCAN QUESTION.
Declared Movement is Under Way for
Adjustment.


PARIS, April 15.-Although the details
are carefully guarded. there is the best Of
reason to believe that conversations have
actually begun between the representatives
of France and Germany with the view to
removing the Observation-Disclosures relative to
Morocco. This is not yet announced here,
and the officials do not wish to give too
optimistic an aspect to the situation when
the overtures at most are in preliminary
stage.
However, it is certain that diplomatic
means have been found to bring about
mutual exchange of views in place of the
mutual determinations which heretofore
have been going on.
This favorable turn of affairs appears to
be the direct result of the more moderate
attitude Germany has shown after commu-
nicating with Washington, London, Rome,
Madrid, st. Petersburg and Vienna.
Comment at Berlin.
BERLIN, April 15.-Foreign Minister Del
casse talked over the Morocco question
with Prince Won Radolin, the German am
bassador to France, in Paris yesterday.
thus beginning a direct exchange of views
between the German and French govern
ments. Mr.. Delcasse opened the subject,
and. therefore, the initiative came from
France. Nothing is said at the foreign
office here regarding the substance of the
interview, only that Prince Won Radolin
received M. Delcasse's observations in a
suitable spirit. The foreign Office prefers
to make no statement on the subject, in
asmuch as the French newspapers. even the
so-called inspired papers, today contain
nothing from the French foreign office re-
garding the conference.
