A、he was afraid to see his brother
B、he was in prison and was not allowed to go anywhere
C、he was traveling in a foreign country and was far from his brother

解析
见原文第1句,“While traveling abroad,Mr Jackson ran short of money.So he wrote to his brother,asking for $500”由此推知Mr,Jackson正在国外旅行。由"send me by telegram...”推知Mr. Jackson离其兄弟甚远,所以需电报汇款。因此答案选择C。
