be certain to prejudice any attempt on
the part OF the Mexican rebels to Sc
cure any recognition of belligcrant
rights. so necessary to a successful
conduct OF their campaign. The State
pcpa rtmcnt did everything. in it's pow
er TO prevent the execution which. in
its opinion. was in violation OF the
rules of the war OF all civilized coun-
tries. y telegram received only this
morning from American Consul Letc.lcr
at chihuahua, dated on April o. and
much delayed in transmission said
that the consul had protested 10 the
rebel chiefs against the execution OF
Fountain not only at Chihuahua. but nj
Parrul, whore the man was arrested
However. he had just heard through
the local newspapers. which he he
licved TO be accurate, that Fountain
had been tried and executed that morn
ing.
In the opinion. OF the State De-
partment, the mans killing was n de-
hberatc murder. But II is recalled
that in his proclamation, President
Taft expressly warned Americans
participating in the revolution on 9th
CT side. Indicating plainly taat ,hnv
would do so ut their own risk This.
however, does not preclude the Amer
