So far as the state department was
able to learn Jenkins still was sick and
in the Mexican penitentiary on charg-
es that he conspired with rebel ban
dts who kidnapped him and forced him
to pay a ransom of approximately
$150,00O.
The department was in constant
communication today with the Ameri-
can embassy in Mexico City and was
advised that the cabinet had discuss
ed the American note and called Gov.
Cabrera into conference regarding it.
Gov. Cabrera is brother of Louis
Cabrera, secretary of the treasury in
Carranza's cabinet and known to be
one of the most bitter anti-Americans
in Mexico.
President Carranza has found the
situation to be so acute that ne has
returned to Mexico City from Quere-
taro to take part in the consideration
Of the Jenkins case.
Advices today said Mexican offlc-
ials have caused reports to be circu-

justified in holding jenkins. No re-
port has been made to this govern
ment or it's representatives, however,
