Charles /. Wagner, a mail carrier at

SURROUNDING EVENT

New Orleans, Aug 2-Hmmanuel
Castillo Brito, former governor OF the
Mexican state OF Campeche was ar
rested here today by federal authori-
ties and held without bail on charge
Of murder and robbery, preferred by
the existing Mexican authorities
Brito admitted ne killed two rep
.resentatives OF Huerta, who, he said,
we're trying to arrest him illegally
during the recent revolution. The
former Mexican governors apprehen-
sion came close on the heels Of
charges Of blackmail, which resulted
late last night in the arrest Of two
United States department of justice
agents and representatives of the Car
rama branch Of Mexican revolution
lists in New Orleans. 1t was charged
that r. G. Matthews and j. L. Mott
accepted $500 in marked bills from
Brito to protect him from arrest, the
affair having been arranged by Er-
este Fernandez, who claims to be
connected with Governor Carranza.
Brito was arrested anu arraignedI
before United States Commissioner
Browne. He pleaded not guilty and
was sent to the parish prison with
out bail. Brito declared that when
the Huerta agents made ain attempt
to arrest him in Mexico he knew their
action would be followed by his death,
probably under the nortorious fugitive
law. He resisted, drawing his sword.
The Huerta agents took the sword |
from him and slapped him with it.
Thereupon, Brito says, he drew his |
revolver and killed the two men. This
was in war time, however and they !
were his enemies. This. he said,
would be his defense in resisting de-
portation.
The two department OF justice
agents and the representative Of Gov
ernor Carranza of Mexico, arrested
here last night on the charge OF
blackmail, still were detained today.
A telegram purporting to have come
from Attorney General McReynolds,
yariously declared fake" and gen
uine, in which it was requested that
Brito be arrested, was the medium
through which detectives say R. 6.
Matthews, special agent of the de-
partment Of justice; ]. L. Mott. his
assistant, and Ernesto Fernandez, the
Carrancista envoy, got Brito to pay
to Matthews $500 on the pretehse
that Brito would be protected from
arrest.
The arresting officers say they
saw the money, marked, pass from
Brito to Matthews. The trio were
taken to the office OF Federal Dis
trict Attorney Guion this morning,
where long secret conference took
place It was not announced whether
the government would take hold Of
the case or whether the accused men
would be given hearing before a
state court The men have not been
allowed to give bonds Fernandez

tion.

WANT RATIFICATION NOW
PRESIDENT AND SECRETARY
BRYAN BELIEVED WILLING TO
LAY ASIDE SCHEME
UNUSUALLY WARM DEBATE
POLICY OF PRoTEcToRATEs IN
CENTRAL AMERICA LEFT UN-
SETTLED FOR TIME

Washington, Aug. 2.-The proposed
proteetorate for Nicaragua embraced
in treaty suggested by Secretary
bfyan, probably will be abandoned be-
cause of adverse action by the senate
foreign relations committee. Chairman
Bacon was today instructed to ask
Secretary Bryan to transmit new
Nicaraguan treaty limited strictly 70
the proposed $3,OO0,000 purchase Of
the canal route and naval base conces-
sions
The fight against the proposal be-
came so pronounced in the committee
today that it was declared it would be
impracticable to attempt settlement
Of the policy at the present time. It
was declared ask Secretary Bryan
to withdraw the protectorate features
and limit the Nicaraguan treaty to
those it originally embraced. Intima-
tions had been received by democrats
on the comittee that the president and
Secretary Bryan would be willing to-
lay the protectorate policy aside TEN
porarily, and it is said that complet-
ed new draft of the treaty would be
ready withi9 a few days, without the
provisions giving the United States
control over Nicaragua's future.
Senator Bacon was instructed toI
ask Secretary Bryan to submit trea-
ty limited to the following provisions:
The grant by Nicaragua to the Uni
ted states Of a perpetual and exclusive
right to build a canal across Nicara-
qua.
A 99-year lease on naval base
site Of Fonseca Bay and 99-year lease
On Corn Island in the Caribbean Sea,
The payment by the United States
to Nicaragua Of $s,OoO,OOO in return
for these concessions.
These terms are practically identic-
al with those Of the treaty as origin-
ally proposed by Secretary Bryan be-
fore he decided to add the amend.
ment by which an American protec-
torate would have been established.
The senate committee did not defin-
italv settle the question Of future pro
tectorates in Central America howev-
er. It is understood the administra-
tion is willing to withdraw the sug-
gestion for the present in order toi
secure an early ratification Of the
Nicaraguan compact.
Strong opposition was led in the
committee today by Senators Borah,
Clarke Of Arkansas, Williams and 9TH
ers who we're opposed to any action
by the United States toward the ex-
ercise Of sovereign authority u the
Central American countries.
Other senators of the committee de-
Tended the policy Thesvote propos-
ed to settle the question but some
senators Of the committee refused to
register a final decision at the pres
ent time and the proposal for a vote
was withdrawn
Opponents Of the proposed protec-
torate had made it clear that it would
be impossible to secure ratification Of
the Nicaraguan treaty in the present
congress If the so-called Platt amend
ment were included in it.
This sentiment is understood to have
induced Secretary Bryan to consent
to its withdrawal

washington, Aug 2.-The sudden
and unexpected appearance in Ven
ezuela of General Cipriano Castro to
take personal charge of the reYolu-
tEonary forces confronrs the state
department with a grave problem.
Secretary Bryan declined today to
say what would be the attitude of
the United States toward the pres
ence Of the unwelcome exile in the
land from which he was baEsshed five
years ago. The Taft administration
not only approved Of Castro's exile
from Venezuela, but sought by every
means, although without success, to
prevent him from landing in this
country last winter. Officials realize
that Castro's personal direction OF
the insurrection will make the move
ment far mode formidable.
