Lie. Angel de CassO. charge dffaires

Mr. CassO has come to the border to

that took place between the Carrancista
faction and Spanish ambassador Cabc
during the recent occupation Of Mex
leo City by Cen ObregOn.
i have some sensational Information
to communicate 70 my government
said senior Casso today. And I am
going to prove that the Carranza party,
in sentiment, is absolutely foreign TO
decency, diplomacy or the sacred
rights Of citizens OF other nations. In
most insulting message which Gen.
CarranZa sent to Spanish ambassador
CabO, he called him a criminal for
hiding a criminal-this latter was sup
posed to be me. I was a legal repre-
sentative Of the Spanish government
and should have been treated as such,
but because Of my friendship with Gen
Villa, they demanded my life, and
would have shot me Without trial had
they found my hiding place. They
searched every foreign legation for
me-that fact has not been made
known yet-and if they had found me
I would have been dragged out like a
common dog, regardless Of the fact
that 1 was under the protection Of a
foreign nag.
Fortunately, hid in my own house.
I spent IS days between the four walls
Of my cellar. They searched my house
