MEXICO SENDS REPLY
CARRANZA REFUSES TO DROP
CHARGES AGAINST JENKINS.
Declares State Departments Belief in
Innocence of Official Does Not
Absolve Him Under Law.

Mexico City, Dec. 19.-The release
of William o. Jenkins, American con-
sular agent at Puebla, under bail, has
removed all motive for misunderstand-
ing between the Mexican and United
States governments regarding the
Jenkins issue, according to the reply
of the Mexican government to the Sec
ond American note on the subject.
The Mexican reply was handed to the
American charge d'affaires.
The communication signed by HI
lario Medina, who is in charge Of the
foreign relations department, is
addressed to George T. Summerlin, in
charge of the American embassy.
The note declares the Jenkins case
has taken On an altogether different
aspect since the American agents re-
lease. In polite terms it differs with
the American objection to former le-
gal technicalities, reaffir1ning that the
jenkins case is entirely a legal one.
Moreover, the Mexican answer points
out, the American governments be-
lief in Mr. Jenkins innocence of the
charge against him is not enough to
warrant setting aside Mexican laws.
