Western Newspaper Union News Service.
Washington, Dec 23.-The attitude
of the Mexican authorities in the cases
of the two American sailors who are
held in restraint at Mazatlan, and of
Frederick Hugo, the manager of a ha-
cienda in COahuia recently held for
ransom by Villistas, has renewed ten
sion in the MeXicon situation, which
was brought almost to the verge Of a
break in the Jenkins case.
Secretary Lansing received report
from the American consul general at
Mazatlan that neither of the American
sailors has been released although
they have been in custody many days.
Secretary Lansing has directed the
American embassy to take up the mat
ter of the arrest of the sailors with
the CarranZa government and at the
same time directed our embassy in the
Mexican capital to renew the request
that "every possible step be taken to
arrest the bandits who kidnapped Hugo
and held him for ransom in COahuila.
The State Department officially an
nounced it's attitude in a statement is
sued by direction of Secretary Lansing
in connection with the Hugo case
which contained this significant SEN
tence:
'The embassy has been instructed to
insist to the Mexican foreign office
that such outrages shall not be re-
peated."
The statement authorized by Secre-
tary Lansing follows:
"The Department of State has in
structed the American embassy at
Mexico City to renew request that ev-
cry possible step be taken to arrest the
bandits who kidnapped Frederick Hugo,
manager of the hacienda Las RuciaS,
near MuSquiZ, in COahuila, recently,
and held him for ransom and the en-
bassy has been instructed to insist to
the Mexican foreign office that such
outrages shall not be repeated
1.-The departments information is
that Hugo was released upon agree
ment that within twelve days he would
pay ransom of $500, and that there
were taken from ranches owned by
Americans approximately 100000
pesos, 14S horses and large supply of
food
'"The department has been advised
that while there were only 400 of the
bandits engaged in the attack on Muz-
quiz the Mexican federal force of about
75O men and six machine guns located
less than forty miles distant took no
steps to relieve MusquiZ.
'The Mexican federal forces were
under command of Generals Ricaut
and Peraldia, according to the depart
ment's information shortly after the
attack took place. and these forces did
not attempt to 90 into Musquiz until
after the Villistas evacuated the town. "

FAMED CONTRALTO TO SING IN BISBEE

The news that Carolina LaZarri, a young but conspiciously successful contralto is to be included in the programs of the winter series spon- sored by the Musical Events Club will be welcome to those who have been in touch with the recent history of the world of music. Madame LaZarri's S rise in favor of the music lovers has been a real sensation. Few thought that it was possible to produce a con tralto of such excellence at this time. But out of a somewhat depleted num- Der of contraltos came the wonder. To hear her in the district this year gives promise of much enjoyment. h. deed one would hardly suppose it pos sibie to secure an attraction of such Calibre in the initial season. But it is only pledge of the earnest pur- pose of the club and the standard hich has been set for the course.
 The value of such a season in the district cannot be estimated in any but a vague way. While the imme- diate enjoyment will doubtless be more than sufficient to repay the subscribed, there will be a permanent benefit, broadening of the back ground of the music lovers and a more definite idea of the leavening in- fluence of good music in comm unity. No one can afford to stand still, his vision should be enlarged by every means at hand and surely good music is potent factor in the up building of the fouresquare man or woman.
