CONSULS RECALLED.
ACTION BY MEXICO. *}Y CABLE—PRESS ASSOCIATION—COPYRIGHT. MEXICO CITY, Oct. 24. The Department of Foreign Affairs has ordered the closing of the Mexican consulates at London, Liverpool, and Glasgow, also all honorary Consulates throughout Britain, indicating the complete suppression of commercial relations. The United States Embassy here took over the archives of the British Embassy last June following the withdrawal of the British agent (Mr G. Cummings) in connection with the affair of Mrs Evans, who was later assassinated. Although the British Embassy has been closed for some time Britain has maintained the ConsulGeneral here and the Consular officials at the other points in Mexico. The Foreign Minister (Senor Seanz) states that the decision to Tecall the Consuls does not imply a desire on the part of Mexico to show, hostility to Britain, “but obeys the sentiment of decorum, we believing it unworthy of us to maintain Consular representatives under a Government which does not concede Mexico the honour of official relations. ’ ’ According to Senor Seanz the British Consuls in Mexico will continue to enjoy the guarantees if they are not recalled.
