Mexican Prelate Prosecuted
Document Testifying to Mexican Re
Iigious "Liberty" Finds Its Way
Across the Border.

"A TaCQer interesting document, ike
wise an important one, concerning re-
ligious affairs in Mexico has found it's
way across the border through Sc
cret channels. It proves how rigidly
the newly adopted constitution is be-
ing enforced at least in its provisions
hostile to the Church IL not in those
providing for the boasted social re-
forms.
Our war with Europe has turned
our attention away from Mexico. That
is the only reason why less is heard
of the dread conditions below the
border. The silence regarding Mexi-
can internal affairs does not bespeak
any Improvement.
The following official communica-
tion issued by the major, Chief of
the Regiment, Saturn G. Espinosa" or
ders the arrest and retention of Arch
bishop Orozco who is performing his
episcopal lahors now in Mexico. The
arrest of the prelate was considered
an urgent matter and one to be kept
strictly secret. The warrant is re-
produced below apd from it is readily
appreciated the extent of the religious
liberty that Mexico boasts today:
It has come to the notice of the
Citizen General M. Dieguez, Governor
and Military Commander of this State,
that the Archbishop of the Catholic
Cult, Francis Orozco y Jimenez, held
guilty before the government Of high
treason to the Fatherland, is in hid
ing somewhere in the towns along
that canyon, within your zone of op-
erations.
The reports given the Citizen Mill
tary Commander being absolutely
true-as it is evident to me-he has
deemed convenient to order that I
forward the same reports to you, with
an Injunction to the effect that you
proceed at once to the detention of
the above mentioned Orozco y Jimen-
ez, using every available precautlon
and rating this commission entrusted
to you above any other, no matter how
important.
While the Citizen Governor expects
that you will faithfully discharge the
commission entrusted to you, he fore
warns that you shall be held directly
responsible for any evasion of yours
on behalf of the aforesaid archbishop.
Once you will catch the mentioned
fellow, you shall please send him un-
der due securities to these military
headquarters, wherefrom he shall be
sent in turn where it is pertinent to
be.
