The Cutting Case.
DENVER, August 11th.-An Ell Paso
special says: The impression is gaining
ground in Ell Pasa that The Cutting case
will be q subject for diplomatic CORE
spondence for some months TO come, and
that meanwhile the prisoner will not be
released. A good deal has been said the
last few days about the defenseless condi-
ton of Ell PaSo, in case of sudden
attack by the MeXicans. but there is
really no cause for alarm. There are few
hundred Mexican troops in Paso del Norte
but they seem sullen, dissatisfied, and
ready to desert at the first chance. On the
other hand. Ell Paso contains some splen-
did fighting material. and could raise, in
an emergency, 2 thousand armed
men, who could hold the place against any
force the Mexicans might briGg, and until
help could arrive, bat these will possibly all
be idle speculatons, as the whole disturb
ancc seems to be quietly simmering down.

New YORK. August 11th-Negotiations
between the Wistar and Fleming Reorgan-
ization Committees of the Texas Pacific

people have substantially agreed are these:

will be carried out. The stock will be in
creased from about 100000 to $40, 000-
000 jay Gould guaranteeing to provide 4
market at zoe for additional stocks. Re-
organization will be carried out by COM
