Mr. Ambassador: Referring to various
notes of the embassy relative to the case of Juan Rodriguez, I
have the honor to advise your excellency that the President of
the Republic has seen fit to decide that the extradition of the
above-mentioned Juan Rodriguez be granted to the Government of
the United States on a charge of murder.
I have transmitted the proper decision to the first district
judge of this capital for the respective action; but I believe
it convenient to inform your excellency that the accused has the
right to resort to amparo within three peremptory days from the
date on which he may be notified of the decision.
I renew, etc.,
