Of his supporters were refugees on

by armed men. into the American
consulate.
His Life in Peril
It was late last evening when Gen
eral Felix Diaz became convinced Of
the advisability of seeking American
protection. He went from his hotel
to the United States consulate and
informed Consul William W. Canada
he had received information that his
life was in peril He told the consul
that number of his adherents had
been put in jail.
General Diaz was accompanied to
the consulate by Jose Sandoval and
Cecilio Ocon, who also requested pro-
faofinn for fhnnsoIves
The American consul took steps to
have the refugees transferred on
board the gunboat Wheeling, which
was lying in the harbor The three
Mexican fugitives and Alexander vii,
liams, an American newspaper man,
were taken to- small boat and hur-
rIed on board the American warship,
where they were given accommoda-
tions.
General Diaz, with Jose sandoval
and Cecilio Ocon, dropped over low
wall and made their way into one Of
the rear rooms Of the consulate.
When they arrived inside the room
they asked that Consul William w.
Canada be called. Apparently suffer
ing from great excitement they as
sured him when he came that their
lives we're in immediate danger They
declared they had knowledge that or
ders for their arrest had been issued
and they begged for his protection.
They Took Risk
In reply Consul Canada pointed to
the waterfront some 200 yards dis
tant:
"There's launch there" he said.
you'd better make a run for It"
The fugitives hesltated for some
time to make the venture, as the
street in front of the American con
sulate was patrolled by detectives.
When they finally left the door Of the
consulate the detectives on duty ap-
parently did not recognize them, and
they walked deliberately through the
street to the pier where they pre-
sented card from Consul Canada to
the officer III command Of the launch.

ried them aboard, the launch cast off,

Mas says It's Funny
General Gustavo Mas, commander
Of the federal troops ait Vera Cruz,
appeared today to be amused more
than provoked by the action of Gen
eral Felix Diaz in taking refuge last
night on board the Wheeling. The
federal commander insists that he
has no orders for the arrest Of Gen
eral Diaz and that he has no orders
to protest against the action Of the
United States in affording asylum to
Diaz. General Mas says that Diaz
might come ashore now without mo
lestation. General Mas says that
Diaz should have been courteous
enough to inform the war department
that he desired to live aboard for
eign warship."

single purpose of affording refuge to

Officials here say there is no ques-
ton whatever Of the right of naval
commander to extend asylum to such
a fugitive as Diaz, as there have been
many precedents to support such ac-
ton.
Right Of Asylum is Guarded
The policy of the United States in
recent years has been to guard very
iealously the extension Of the right
of asylum, and its efforts have been
generally directed toward greatly re-
stricting such rights AT one time it
was proposed to secure an interna,
tional agreement abrogating the right
Of asylum to political refugees, but
that movement did not succeed. The
latest position of the government as
now applied to the situation at Vera
Cruz by Rear Admiral Fletcher is
laid down in the naval regulations as
follows:
The right Of asylum for political
or other refugees has no foundation
in international law In countries, how
ever, where frequent instructions oc-
cur, and constant instability Of gov
ernment exists, usage sanctions the
granting of asylum, but even in the
waters Of such countries, officers
should refuse all applications for asy-
lum except when required by the in
terests Of humanity in extreme or ex-
oeptional cases, such as the pursuit
Of a refugee by a mob Officers must
not directly or indirectly invite re-
fugees to accept asylum"
John Lind, President Wilson's per
sonal representative at Vera Cruz,
had been instructed to offer asylum
to any citizen Of Mexico, or any for
eigner who might be in danger Act
ing under such instructions, Mr.. Lind
might have greater freedom of action
than a naval officer bound by regula-
tions
Officials here, however, have made
it plain within the last few days that
they were prepared to give refuge to
Diaz, for Secretary Bryan, in response
to a direct question, recently declar-
ed that the American government
would give asylum to Diaz or any 9TH
er person in danger who asked for it.
It was pointed out that had former
President Madero taken refuge in the
American embassy in Mexico City he
would have been protected.
Dlaz May be Arrested
The problem Of what to do with
Diaz ana his party. now that they
Las Vegas optic. (East Las Vegas, N.M.) 1908-1921, 1913-10-28

are out of Mexican territory, may be
solved, in the opinion Of officials
here, by permitting them to take pas
sage for some other land on for
eign ship. They probably will not
be permitted to remain on American
warships The fact, however, that
Diaz is still an officer in the Mexican
army, or might be liable to arrest on
a warrant, might complicate the sit
nation, should he eventually take
passage on a commercial ship lying
in a Mexican port.
Huerta Makes no Protest
No protest was heard today from
Huerta against the extension Of asy-
lum to Diaz. There was some dis
position in the state department to
question the real necessity for refuge.
but it was believed no objection
would be made by Huerta. and the
Diaz party will be free to transport
ito a liner for Havana or some north
ern port.
Reply to the inquiry Of Rear Admir-
al Fletcher as to the disposition Of
Diaz and his friends was delayed, but
there was no reason to doubt that
the answer would be along the gen
eral lines Of the policy adopted IN
such cases. That is to say the refu-
gees may remain aboard Admiral
Fletcher's vessels until they can be
sent away to some safe place. Mean.
