Of the United States. Although, in the
opinion of the Mexican Government,
such imprisonment was not iustihable,
never has It asked that +he application
Of the laws Of the Unfted States be not
made in each case, for the Mexican
Government always observes respect for
foreign laws, and does not claim that
Mcxicans abroad should occupy. because
they are Mcxicans, a position OF excep-
tion or privilege.
Neither in the United States nor
in Mexico can n citizen on trial be freed
by an executive order, and IL would be
strange II an American citizen in Mexi-
co should have more rights than he
would have in his own country.
The government Of Mexico likewise
cannot concede to American citizens
more rights than Mexicans enjoy in the
United States.

our political constitution establishes aS
a fundamental principle tho separation

judicial. and by virtue Of this the OK

Likewise. the autonomy of the va
riouS states is guaranteed in our con
stitution. and by virtue Of the fcderative
structure Of the Mexican republic the
fedora power cannot intervene in af-
fairs which, like that of Mr.. Jenkins,
belongs properly and exclusively to the
authorities of the state Of Puebla. For
this reason. the executive could not
order the Judge having jurisdiction of

seek the post, but these are discounted
here. as il is understood they would not
