MIA insulted by the guard and with
little hope of release, G.. Raft, his
wife and five children. of San Diego,
and several other American women
whose names could not be learned, are
said to be causing concern to the
state and war departments of the
United States. Secretary Knox has
taken up the matter with the Mexican
government, and the American consul
at Enzenada has been wired to inves-
tigate and ask Governor Vega for pro
lection of these people. 1t is charged

to Secretary Knox that American

relief. It is charged that the insur-
rectos, who are said to be command
ed by Simon Bertholdt, have offered
indignities to the women.
