Those who have read the contents
OF the note as received here unofn-
cially point out inconsistencies De-
tween some of it's statements and the
contensions of the Mexican authori'
ties themselves These have taken
the position in the past that jenkins
was guilty of collusion with the Mex
ican bandits charged with kidnapping
him, and .hat in court. when con-
fronted by eleven witnesses who tes-
titled against him, he appeared down
cast" In the Mexican reply 1t is
stated that jenkins had been offered
his liberty upon the payment OF 1000
pesos (about 5000 as. bond, and even
urged to put up this sum and leave
the prison: yet he had refused TO
do SO.
Guilt Not Indicated.
This. II is considered here. is
scarcely the behavior of guilty man,
but rather that of one who prefers to
undergo suffering and Imprisonment
rather than sacrifice a principle.
According to the belief here the
note which is forthcoming from the
Carranza government Will De an at
tempt to temporise over the Jenkins
case, with the Mexican government
ready to give in only when 1t learns
that the United States means business.
If the note is unacceptable to the
United States. IL will meet with a
speedy response. The State Depart
ment will send back a brief and curt
note refusing to delay the matter fur
ther and will issue what will be tan
tamount to an ultimatvm to the Mex
lean government.

ot the reply OF the Mexican govern

here last night by Andres G. Garcia
consul general at El Paso, follows il
part:
Mexico, Nov. rs, 1919.
"Mr. George L. SUmmerlin, act
ing charge of affairs for the
United States OF America.
II am instructed by the Presi-
dent OF the republic to answer
herewith your note OF November
20. which you addressed to tho
Mexican government on instruc-
tions from the State Department
of the United States.
You will no doubt realize the
fact that TO legal foundation prin-
ciple or precedent of interna tional
right, or even of reason. is in
voked In the demand for the i'm
mediate liberation OF Mr.. Jenkins,
who. as you know. is at present
under the Jurisdiction OF a judge
OF the city at Puetia.
Protests Against Demand.
The Mexican government can
not see what the foundation for
such a demand might be. 1t be-
Heves that II can be only the
power OF the country that makes
II. although the United States has
expressed the desire on various
occasions that right and justice
should be the basis of its diplo-
macy, and respect for weak coun-
tries the basis of its international
relations on the continent.
The terms of note which i
am answering are attributed by
my government to an imperfect
understanding Of our penal laws.
The imprisonment is neither un-
just nor arbitrary. as your note
states. since Mr., jenkins himself
has signed contradictory state
ments regarding the kidnapping of
which he was a victim. The judge
has had ample foundation to sup
pose that he was guilty of the
crime of falsitying judicial dec
laration and this has caused his
imprisonment
Not Indication of Guilt.
Nevertheless this imprison-
ment does not of itself signify
that Mr. Jenkins is guilty, be-

Judge. Mr.. Jenkins' refusal to e1-
