Manuel Cuesta the Mexican consul at Douglas and Powell Roberts head of the Mexican secret service were among four officers of the Ninth Cavalry arrested on orders of Dr Genardini hotel owner after a Sunday raid on Hotel Mexico by American and Mexican secret service agents aided by black troopers seeking Joaquín Esquer. Genardini says his hotel was entered without a warrant and he was assaulted. Sheriff Wheeler and city authorities made the arrests amid a feud between military and civil authorities over Esquer's arrest.
