CALLS ON GEN’L BLISS
FOR OFFICIAL REPORT
Rumors That Mexican Author
ities Might Have Taken This
Method of Returning Corpse
Dispjsed of. Consul Garrett
Thinks They Don’t Know of
Its Removal.
Washington. D. C.--Offioials of the
atate and war departments wore with
out any advices whatever today on the
removal of Vergara's body to Texas
soil. Secretary Garrison called upon
Brigadier General Bliss on the Texas
border for an official report.
“Recuerdos."
Laredo, T ex.—“Recuerdos”—remem -
hrance—written on a card attached to
a shovel that protruded front an open
grave was the single trace found today
of the party of men who mysterious
ly entered Hidalgo Cemetery in Mex
ico. exhumed the body of Clemente
Vergara and returned it to Texas.
Vergara's body was carried across the
Rio Grande, forty-five miles above
Laredo early Sunday morning, and
there it was found by a federal offi
cial, a state officer and a county dep
uty sheriff Who was responsible for
its,removal from Mexico was a ques
t still unanswerable. The body was
here today awaiting an examination
which state authorities hope may dis
close something to aid them In plac
ing blame for the ranchman’s violent
death after he nas taken prisoner by
Mexican federal*.
Wounds Disclosed.
A superficial examination of the
body disclosed two gunshot wounds in
the head, one in the neck, a blow a# if
from a rifle butt which crushed the
skull and the mutilated left hand,
twisted and charred by fire, suggest
ed that torture had been inflicted be
fore Vergara was executed.
’.'exas Rangers of the troop of Cap
tain J. J. Sanders were first declared
responsible for the return of Verga
ra’s body but later this was denied.
Captain Sanders was one of the men
who “were informed" the the body
could be found at a des.....ated place.
The other two were American Consul
Garrett of Nuevo Laredo, Mex., and
Deputy Sheriff Petty. They went to
the scene ostensibly to secure further
information on the Vergara case but
admitted later that they had been told
that the body had been returned. Who
were their informants was one of nu
merous questions each of the officials
in turn refused to answer. They did
say however, that neither United
States nor state officials had any part
in the actual trip into Mexico.
Chafed at Delay.
I.ater rumors had it that former em
ployes of the Vergara ranch, chafing
at delay in securing the body for pro
per interment, had taken matters into
their own hands.
Surmises that Mexican authorities
might have taken this method of re
turning Vergara's body were forestall
ed by a remark of Consul Garrett,
who expressed belief that they did not
yeti know of the incident.
Despite the mystery as to who was
responsible for the return of the body
there seemed lltle doubt as to the ac
tual facts of its recovery.
Only Nine in Party.
There were only nine men in the
party who gathered on the river bank
late Saturday night, near where Ver
gara was alleged to have beep seized
February 18th by Captain Apolonio
Rodriguez and three federal soldiers,
A Mexican who claimed to have wit
nessed both the execution and burial
„f Vergara led them across country
toward Hidalgo and skirting the sleep
ing town, showed them a new shallow
grave in a far corner of the cemetery.
A rude pine box soon was lifted out.
Evidently the workers had known the
ranchman, for they made certain they
ha ' the body they sought.
Rested Their Burden.
The homeward Journey began with
the party still unchallenged. Once
hack on American soil they rested
their burden for final Identification.
Thiß was made by the family and the
body was consigned to the waiting of
ficials. , , ,
The party had no permission from
Mexican authorities to make the trip
an' secure the body and Consul Gar
rett said last night that he had never
reouested permission from the federals
to have this done. What complica
tions if anv, might result from the trip
into foreign territory, apparently
caused no uneasiness among Vergara’s
friends, who pointed out the peaceful
character of the party.

Can’t Sanders. Word “Here”
Did Not Apply to Laredo.
Didn’t Enter Mexico.
The Lone Star Executive In
timates That the Persons
Who Did Do So Intend
To Keep Their Identity a
Secret.
Washington.—Senator Fall, of New
Mexico, today received this telegram,
dated March Sth, from Governor Col
quitt, ot Texas:
“Am just in receipt of a telegram
from Captain Sanders, of Texas Han
gers. saying he had returned from
Hidalgo, Mexico, with Vergara’s body
and now has it on American soil.
(Signed) “O. B. COLQUITT,
“Governor of Texas."
The Governor Explains.
Austin, Texas. —Texas Rangers did
not cross the Mexican border, nor par
ticipate ill the expedition by whldh
Clemente Vergara’s body was secretly
exhumed from an Hidalgo, Mexico,
cemetery and deposited by persons as
yet unidentified on the Texas side of
the Rio Grande before daylight Sun
day morning, according to the official
version of the Vergara incident from
state capitol sources today. This ver
sion was borne out by dispatches from
Laredo, Texas, the nearest point to
Hidalgo, where investigation could be
made and transmitted by wire.
The Telegram.
Last night’s statement that rangers
recovered the body was bused on the
following telegram from Ranger Cap
tain J. J. Sanders:
“I proceeded to Hidalgo, Mexico, ob
tained body of Vergara. Have It here.”
The telegram was’ dateil Laredo but
the word "here” was explained today
referred to the point above Laredo
where Vergara made his home. State
officials accepted the telegram as
meaning that Sunders actually enter
ed Mexico. Governor Colquitt wired
Sanders for details early today and
after talking to the ranger captain
over the long distance telephone gave
out the following statement:
Governor’s Statement.
“Captain Sanders, commanding Com
pany B of the Texas Rangers, at La
redo, advised me by telegraph that he
hail recovered the body of Vergara.
I wired him for full particulars, lie
advises me that he did not go into
Mexico at all, hut was informed that
the body of Vergara would he de
livered on the Texas side of the river
at a particular place named at 3:30
o'clock Sunday morning, where he
went and found it. As to who brought
it across the river he does not know.
He had no assistance in this transac
tion except from the family and rela
tives of Vergara, who fully Identified
the body."
The governor said today he did not
know whether he would have a fur
ther statement to muYte until he could
get additional fucts.
Didn’t Give Orders.
He declared last night that he had
not issued specific instructions for
rangers to cross the border. The per
sons who exhumed the body from its
Mexican grave have so far indicated
that they intended to keep their iden
tity secret If any ranger or rangers,
acting as Individuals, participated In
this expedition, which report credits
to Vergara's former aequantances, the
state did not authorize it and has at
present no official Information to In
dicate that its rangers crossed the in
ternational line even In such capacity.
Two Meanings,
Austin, Texas. The word# of r»p
tain Handers' first telegram, “f pro
ceeded to Hidalgo.” In the light of his
later report to the governor are cap
able of two meanings. Handers Is
stf.tioncd at Laredo, 43 miles from the
point where the body was brought
across the river near Hidalgo.
To get the body Sanders and Am
erican t'onsul A. R. tiarrett at Nuevo,
Laredo, had to make the 43-mile trip
from Laredo, Hidalgo being one of the
few places In that section large enough
to have a name designating its loca
tion, Sanders' telegram has been in
terpreted as using the words "to Hl
dal-” simply to indicate a section of
the border.
Hidalgo is on the Mexican side of
the river close to the American side.

Against Americans. Asks Im

U. S. Army and Navy.
Washington—Specific charges that
83 Americans and other foreigners
have been killed, murdered or out
raged during the lust three years of
revolution in Mexico were laid before
the senate today by Senator Fall.
Secretary Bryan, when he heard of
Senator Fall’s charges, said lie would
make no statement until he hud‘P ud
all of the senator’s speech.
Not War, But Protection.
Washington.—Urging use of tne
army and navy of the United States
lor protection of Americans and other
foreigners in Mexico, whieli, he said,
would prevent war. Senator Kail, re
j publican of Ne.w Mexico, addressed
the senate today and gave a list of
63 outrages upon Americans, con
cerning which he said he had per
sonal knowledge.
“With the solemn declaration that
we do not war upon the Mexican na •
tion nor people, said Senator Fall,
“that it is not our purpose to acquire
teritory, ami an invitiithin to the
masses of the Mexican people to co
operate with us. we should imme
diately direct the use of the land and
naval forces of this government for
the protection of our citizens and
other foreigners in Mexico, and lend
their assistance to the restoration of
order and maintenance of peace in
that unhappy country.
“I might cite authority after au
thority, and pile precedent upon pre
cedent as justification under interna
tional law for such action, hut 1 will
only read from the message of the
martyred McKinley with only the
suggestion that we insert the name
•Mexico' in lieu of that of Cuba or
Spain.”
QUOTES M’KINLEY
Quoting McKinley he said:
" 'lt is not to he forgotten that
tinring the fast few months tile rela
tions of thi United States has vir
tually been one oT friendly interven
tion in inanv ways, each not of itself
conclusive, but all tending to the ex
ertions of a potential influence to
ward an ultimate pacific result, just
and honorable to all interests con
cerned. The spirit of all our acts
hitnerto lias been an earnest, unsell
ish desire for peace and prosperity in
Cuba, untarnished by differences be
tween us and Spain and unstained by
the blood of American citizens.
" The forcible intervention of the
United States as a neutral to stop the
war, according to the large instates
of humanity and following many his
toiical precedents where neighboring
states have interfered to cheek the
Hopeless Haerifiees of life Internecine
conflicts beyond their bonders, It jus
tifiable on rational grounds. It in
volves, however, hostile constraint
upon both the patrtes to the contest
as well to enforce a truce as to guldo
the eventual settlement. ”
APPEALS FOR LIGHT
Senator Fall appealed lor light on
the Mexican situation and referred to
a senate resolution asking for infor
mation which the president did not
answer on the ground of Incompati
bility with public Interest. Senator
Fall continued:
‘‘McKinley nnd other presidents
have thought It not incompatible with
public interest to furnish this body
with similar information realizing
that In a great, national crisis Hilb one
branch of the government which must
finally act ”
Senator Full picturing conditions in
Mexico, included a statement he had
received Iron) Kmetrlo l)e La (iarza,
who came 1 1 Washington last year
for the Huerta government. Quoting
De I-a Garza's letter refenng to the
contending forces in Mexico. Senator
Fall read:
“ ‘Those who now rule In Mexico —
both at the Azteean capital and that,
of the revolution ar”, by til.or
bloody deeds a legion ot intoxicated
demons who are courting flat fail
ure.’ ”
Much of the (larza letter was criti
cism of President Wilson's Mexican
policy.
THEIR ONLY AIM
The fiarza letter continued:
“Their only aim is to fight, they
only take pride In winning, In killing,
in shooting, and severing neails from
bodies, in eating the raw flesh or
burying alive their errmles; ferocity
Ih their natural condition, temerity
Is their supreme virtue.
" ‘Not a single word about peace,
not a single thought about harmony,
not a rav of hope about conciliation,
not a voice rained In remembrance,
not a single soul which would throb
In favor if order, country and human
ity.
“ 'The government and the revolu
tion both of them are unhealthy and
have gone mad, as their aim is none

as to the scanner In which the body
of Clemente Vergara, an American
oltlzyn killed In Mexico, was returned

permission by the Mexican federal au
thorities to American Consul Garrett
to recover the body, the President and
•Secretary Bryan conferred at length.
The President said ’afterward that no

that he doubted very much whether
Consul Garrett had any permission to
take the body and that he would await
a full report from Gov. Colquitt before
making uny comment
Little Information.
The President pointed out that the
Huerta government had supplied lit
tle information about Vergara, de

gate, but expressing the opinion that
Vergara bad Joined the constitutional
ists Consul Garrett’s dispatches have
said Vergara came to his death at the
