Vera Cruz, March 20, 1915.

Monsignor Paredes, the Vicar General, called this afternoon to express his appreciation of the interest of the Department and the Brazilian Minister in his case. He and his companions were kept eight days in a freight car by General Obregon; on arrival here they spent the first night in prison; all this without knowledge of Carranza, who placed them at liberty yesterday. For the present they are given the liberty of the city only.

Silliman.
