Jenkins, consular agent, has been released from the penitentiary at Puebla, Mex- jeo, the state department an- nounced today. Notification of his release was sent to the de- partment today by the American embassy at Mexico City. The release of Jenkins, offi- clals believe, foreshadows a re- ply from Carrunza agreeing to the last American note which re- iterated the demand for the con- sular ogent’s release, and it is expected to ease the strained re lations between the two coun- tries.
