Show Br Left His Debts for Remembrance. Washington, Oct. 10. Another 1 "young blood" is missing from his ao-i ao-i customed haunts in Washington. This time he is a foreigner. Several weeks ago, a young Mexican arrived in this city, with an unusual quantity of baggage and othor personal per-sonal effects, and registered at the Hotel Randall. His manner was most captivating and assuming, and he seemed to be a man of fine attainments. He dressed finely, spent money liberally and, in point of fact, created quite a favorable impression. The name which he placed on the hotel register was a. J, Barcnque, City of Mexico, and he represented that lie was about to become an attache , of the Mexican legation here. He formed the acquaintance acquain-tance of a number of Spaniards connected connec-ted with various legations, and, being introduced in so stern society, conducted con-ducted himself as i most proper and promising diploni;ae. For the first few weeKS he paid his hotel bill promptly, but a few days ago other bills came drifting in unpaid. Inquiry was inaugurated, and it was found that the Mexican legation knew nothing concerning X. J. Barneque or any other "proposed: new attache." Then the hotel proprietor had an interview with the Mexican and presented the week's board bill. The Mexican disappeared after promising to show up and pay the bill that evening. That wa's last Saturday, and the Mexican Mexi-can is still missing. He left his baggage and also a great quantity of upaid bills by the local but trusting merchants, bar-keepers and livery men. The hotel proprietor has sworn out a warrant charging Senor Barneque with false pretenses, inasmuch as he had represented re-presented that he had $7000 in bank when he didn't have a cent. But Senor Barneque can not be found, and it is likely that his disappearance is permanent. |
