Consulate Is Searched.

1.-THE next morning. the ODD of April,
about 10 O'Clock, a police lieutenant ar
rived with force of men and advised
me that he had been instructed to search
the building. The insulting search was
completed about noon, when your consul
general was taken prisoner through the
streets with the mob and carried first to
the penitentiary and afterward to the
state government palace. which building
has been for some time military head
quarters and fortified, and was the OBJ
icct of special attack by the then attack
ing forces.
while was placed under heavy
guard in the grand reception room of the
state palace l fully realized that I was
constantly being considerably insulted
and greatly Inundated. not on account
Of my personality. but on account of my
official position as representative of the
United States government in northern
Mexico. AT about s o'clock in the even
ing Of April % I was taken before the
military court and notified that l was
charged with being in sympathy with the
constitutonalist chiefs and as being
friendly to certain constitutionalist gen.

HANNA AT MONTEREY
REPORTS OUTRAGES
Tried and Held by Insolent Federals
Schmutz and Shanklin Also Vic
tims-Authorities Here Aroused.

Threats and the arrest ot three Nmeri-
IAN ccnsuls in MEXICO by Huerta fol-
DIVERS. gust reported TO the State De
partment, have aroused the Washington
authorities.
United States Consul General Philip c.
Hanna at Monterey has reported to Sec
rotary BRYAN that he had been humili-
ated and placed in Jail by Mexican federal
officials April 90 and left behind the bars
until released two days later by the con-
stitutionalists, when they captured the
city. .....
Schmutz and more than a score of
american refugees were hauled from
train at Aguascalientes, north of Mex
ico City. and imprisoned by federal
soldiers.
Consul General Shanklin has reported
TO the State Department that he was in
actual danger of his life before he finally
succeeded in getting out of the Mexican
capital to Vera Cruz on the train with
Charge O'Shaughnessy. The consul gem
eral was one of the first victims of the
military censors and was not permitted
10 communicate with the State Depart
luent.
Demand Death Of Gringoes.
In his report he said there were excit-
ing moments In Mexico City during the
day preceding his departure. Following
the overturning of the statue of Wash
ington, mobs began to march through the
streets. crying Death to the gringoes.
Even the school children took part in the
demonstration. Mr.. Shanklin said. boys
and girls outside of his office chanting.
Death to the American consul general!
The consul general expressed the fear
that harm might come Vet to the 200 or
500 Americans remaining in Mexico City.
President Wilson and Secretary Bryan
were greatly incensed upon receiving the
dispatch from Consul General Hanna at
Monterey. The consul reported that mobs
led by federal officials tore down all the
american flags in the city. trampled upon
them and burned them up in the streets.
Upon the arrival of the constitutional
sts Mr. Hanna was released and treated
with marked consideration. He said the
rebel officers made speeches in front of
the statehouse. giving assurances of full
protection TO all foreigners and non-com-
batantS.
Secretary Bryan went to the White
House and had a long conference with
the President when the consul generals
report reached the State Department.

Kept a Prisoner.

II was kept prisoner incommunicado
until the evacuation OF the city by the
federal troops and until the arrival of
the constitutionalist forces early this
morning. There were times during the
period when it was believed by very
many that I would be shot or carried to
the mountains as their prisoner in case
the federals evacuated However, the
evacuation Of the city by their forces,
federal. state and police. took place dur
ing last night, and l was left entirely
alone in the state capitol building as its
sole guardian for about six hours with
out being informed by any individual or
officer OF their departure.
The constitutionalist forces under the
command OF Gen. Pablo Gonzales and
Gen. Antonio Villareal and Gen. Castro
arried on very successful attack for
about five days. which resulted in the
defeat OF the federal army with heavy
iosses on the part of the federals and
complete rout of all those who were not
ljlled, wounded or taken prisoners.

protection for all the law-abidins resi-
dents Of Monterey.
City Quiet and Serene.

THE city is quiet and serene. and the
feeling OF safety and confidence has re-
turned to the people. The humane man
ner In which the battle of Monterey was
conducted by the Constituencies is high
credit to ideas of humanity and to the
things that are right and just. There
has been no persecution nor looting of
property reported to this consulate gen.
eral up to now.
THE opinion generally prevails that it
is the purpose of the constitutionalist
army to bring about a high type of free
government, personal liberty. protection
of property and thoroughly maintain or
der and peace. So far the actions Of the
constitutionalist army at Monterey are
creditable to the civilized age in which
We live.
There appears to have been some mis-
understanding probably caused in Mon
terey by intended misrepresentation rel
alive to the action on the part of our
government following the insult to the
American flag and people at Tampico.
Purpose Now Understood.
II believe that the constitutionalists
now understand that the American nation
has nothing but the kindest feelings to-
ward Mexico and its people, and that the
action of the United States was not in
tended to interfere with the rights of
Mexico or the Mexican people in settling
their disputes, but that it was simply an
act to bring proper apology from those
parties who were to blame for the insult
and offense committed against the Ameri-
can nation. its people and flag. l will re-
port further to the department relative to
matters concerning the battle and rela-
tive to the condition of affairs around
Monterey.
while many Americans have been i'm
prisoned for the past few days by the
federals until this morning. no Americans
have been killed nor injured, excepting
Guy Sawyer. head of the American Print
ing Company, who was seriously wound
ed at his country home during the first
days of the battle. Mr.. Sawyer is re-
ported better this morning.

The friendly attitude of constitutional

orders to arrest any one insulting an
American. and has notified his people all
over the state that any demonstration
would be punished in the severest man

likely lead to hanging.
Gen. Oregon and Gen. Alvarado have
both wired me that l can rest assured
that Americans would have every consid-
Grafton at their hands, and IL unable to
pay passage they would advance them
tickets and money. Only the best of feel
inEs are shown by the constitutionalsts
and their officers, and all sincerely hope
and pray that everything will be settled
amicably very. very soon. If l can finish.

sued strict orders that all properties Of
people leaving would be protected. and to

Chief Bywater with company Of
firemen was operating from the alley
at the rear of the building and try
ing to reach the fire with four lines
of hose through the rear entrance to
te saloon when large galvanized

and water fell on them. Several Of
the men were bowled over and the
chief himself was knocked insensible.
His injury, however, proved to be
but slight and he was soon back at
work.
The dense smoke, laden with alco-
hol fumes, formed deadly barrier
that prevented the flremen from get

this handicap the firemen soon had
six streams Of water, two from the
front and four from the rear playing

men to chop holes into the floor thru

a dozen engines, was poured on the
mass of flames in the basement.
The fire presented one Of the best
opportunities yet given the depart
ment for testing the lighting appara-
tus perfected by Chief Bywater. The

ted so as to provide electric lights OF

where It was found necessary to cut
off the city circuit.
The cutting of the downtown circuit
so as to make the fighting OF the
flames safer for the firemen would
have made successful handling OF
the blaze extremely hazardous had 1t
not been for the little machine which
was quickly put to work in front Of
the building. The dynamo Is operat
ed by the regular engine Of the auto

believed the commission will be able
to learn the facts of his death from
