Deny Prisoner Is American.

Ambassador Clayton, acting under instructions from the state department at Washington, has been investigating the case of W. H. Mealey, an American mining man under arrest at Monterey, Mexico. The point is made by the Mexicans that a:i American residing in Mexico and never intending to return to the United States, paying no taxes there and perfomming none of the duties of a citizen, loses standing with the United States government. Mealey, it' is alleged, had made. Mexico his permanent home.
