How U. S. Consular Agents
Release Was Gained in Mexico
Bu The Assoeiatea Press.

By The Associated Press.
MEXICO CITY, oct. 27-Release
of William o. Jenkins, United States
Consular agent at Puebla, who was
held captive by Mexican bandits in
the mountains south of that city, and
who returned to Puebla yesterday,
was effected by Senior Mestre, personal
attorney of Mr.. Jenkins, according to
advices received here.
At the beginning of the negotiations
for the ransom of Mr.. Jenkins, FEEDER
leo Cordova, leader of the bandits,
stipulated that any effort on the part
of the consular agents friends to APP
pear in force at the bandits rende-
vOuz would result in the death of Mr..
Jenkins. Senior Mestre therefore met
Cordova at Hacienda Chavarra,
south of Puebla. Hes was then con-
Quoted to a room where he found Mr..
jenkins lying on a bed. After a short
parley the ransom money 100000
Mexican, vas counted out and a re-
ceipt was signed by Cordova. Mr..
Jenkins was then released, and, on
the arm of Senior Mestre left the
house, being accompanied for some
distance by Cordova's men who acted
as a guard. The two men finally
reached another hacienda and were
conveyed to Puebla by automobile.
Forced to sleep on the wet ground
during daily rain storms Mr.. Jenkins
suffered a recurrence of rheumatic at
tacks, which rendered him almost
helpless. He now is in the American
hospital at Puebla.
Secretary Citing Hanna, of the
American embassy here, who directed
negotiations for the release of Mr..
Jenkins for the United States will
not return from Puebla until WedneS-
day, when 1t is expected an official
report will be made.
