American Embassy Informs the

Payment of $150,000.

Washington, Oct. 81. William o..
Jenkins, American consular agent who
was robbed and kidnapped by bandits
neal Puebla, Mexico, has been released
on Payment of the ransom Of $4,000,
according to message from the
American embassy at Mexico City, re-
ceived at the state department today.
Information as to who paid the rams
ON was not contained in the state de-
partment's dispatch.
The message said that the Third
Secretary of the embassy Matthew r.
Hanna, who was sent to Puebla. noti-
fled the embassy yesterday that Jen-
kins had sent him message from with
in the Mexican federal lines that the
ransom had been paid and that he was
on the way to Puebla.
In absence of specific information:
officials here assumed that it was the
Mexican government that paid the ran
som. This has been done in previous
kidnapping cases but the demand has
never been so large heretofore.
The note dispatched to Mexico de-
manded that Jenkins release be effect
ed, even though the Mexican govern
ment had to pay the ransom. State
department officials stated emphati-
cally that this government did not pay
it.
The department also asked the Amer
lean embassy at Mexico City today 10
forward information on the killing of
the two American ayiators, Waterhouse
and Connolly whose bodies were re-
turned to San Diego yesterday.
