Exacts Indemnity For Imprison- ment and Sends Prosecu- tors to Jail. City of Mexico, Mexico, May 1.— The state department of Mexico has notified Ambassador Powell Clayton that William A. Stephens, a native of Arkansas, who has been in jail for forty days at a small town near the Pacific port of Acapulco, will be in- demnified for his imprisonment and Mexicans before his incarceration The notification is the result of a de- mand made by the American ambus- sador. Stephens owns 23,000 acres of land in the vicinity of Acapulco. He i- curred theenmity of Mexicans in that section, and they hired several noto- rious bandite to kill him and the members of his family, The bandits entered his hacienda one night, de- stroyed. machinery and killed cattle to the value of $30,000 and then at- tacked the house. They were beaten off by Stephens and several men in his employ, and one of the bandits was shot and seriously wounded. For this Stephens was arrested and thrown into a vile dungeon and was kept there in chains for forty days. ‘He managed to get word to his brother, Hugh Stephens, who came to this capital and laid the matter before Ambassador Clayton. The Mexican government announces that troops will be sent to the country around Acapulco to hunt down the bandits and to protect the interests of foreigners, The authorities who were responsible for the arrest and imprisonment of Stephens have been jailed.
