escapade Tho letter sajs on Friday
night without invitation he went to u
private ball got beastly drunk and was
led throueh tho dancehall amid loud
cries of This Is the way to treat an en-
voy of tho United States of America
After making all sorts of sport of him he
was token byapaity ot Mexicans to a
house of Illfame and there stripped of
his coat his ofllclal papers passed around

had been drugged and disclaimed all
knowledge of what had occurred on the
previous night However rumor has it
that on Saturday night he was out again
with the sane gang rleltlug disreputable
bouses in an Intoxicated condition The
American colony has been very much
scandalized and expresses its qplnlon
that Sedgwick should be recalled ntonce
