Dn.wT.n, Col., Oct. 22. Colonel A. J.
Sampson, United Statos Consul at Paso
del Xorte.ls in Denver on business. Col
onel Sampson was asked regarding tho
numerous complaints which havo been
sent out rolatlvo to the alleged ill-troat-mcilt
of Americans arrested in Paso dot
Norte, and said:
"Arrests havo been wildly exagger
ated. If an Americanl disobeys the law
in Mexico he is arrested just tho samo
as aMexican would bo In the United
.States. Mnxlcan laws differ from tboso
of our country. If an American can not
abide by their laws ho should not re
main there. Tho ofilcers aro supposed
to uphold tho law, and, so far as I can
see.thoy do so. Americans aro given as
spocdy a trial as possible; in fact, I
think thero is some Jiscriminattnn In
their faor. It is tho Consuls' duty at
Paso del Norto to look mil. that other
prisoners aro not given prelorenco ovor
Americans; that trials are conducted
fairly, and many of tho casos which
havo been reported to American news
papers, I know from my own personal
observation, aro greatly exaggerated."
