After1-a 6hort deliberation the jury returned a verdict of guilty with a recommendation to mercy. T. Frank Watklns. attorney for the defense, gave notice of appeal.

Says Se Washington. .l?o.ijS.?There has been no change in tnf ' policy of the United States in regard . to Mexico. This was the subfefaaice of replies Thursday by Secretary Bryan to seve ral members of diplomatic corps who called at the State department. Tlio foreign representatives, noting the depressing efrect upon Mexican bonds held by citizens of their countries .through the default in ti e Seral-a-] nuul interest payments, has inquired I as to what action, if any. the United j States would take in view of the new conditions.
