Charge d’Affaires O'Shaughnessy Hid l
Mexican Cabinet Officer to t '
Save His Life. j
MEXICO CITY, Jan. 23. American
Charge d’Affaires O’Shaughnessy to
day aided in smuggling Estonol, a
former cabinet officer, aboard a mer
chant vessel at Vera Cruz. Estonol
had' been sentenced to death by the
Huerta courts, having been charged
with sedition and the charge d’affaires
interested himself by smuggling Esto
nol on the train to Vera Cruz, per
sonally accompanying him to the
coast, placing him aboard one of the
small tenders of the battlesh’p fleet
in the harbor and when the mer
chant vessel was outside of the throe
miie limit, and under international
law' free from arrest by Mexican of
ficers, the former cabinet officer was
transferred to the vessel bound to
Havana.
What action President Huerta will j
take in the matter is not known.
Some predict that the American rep
resentative will be given his pass
ports; others that Huerta will not
notice the matter and will wait until
peace is established before calling to j
account the American government for !
the gross indiscretion of its diplomat '
ic representative.
