DENVER, July PEI Paso, Texas
The excitement on both sides OF the
river among the Mexicans as well as
Americans, has been so great that both
governments nave concluded. for the
purpose of allaying 1t. TO conduct fur
ther NEGOTIATIONS secretly and without
publicity. For that reason, Consul
Brigham has stated further official
advices to-day, on the all absorbing sub
lect OF Cuttings imprisonment. Mean
while. the soldiers continue as thick as
biackbir3s IN. Paso Del NOrte. The
sleepy old place wears as martial an air
as il Is possible for such a relic of
hoary antiquity TO assume.
In marked contrast TO this exhibition
of military powers in Paso Del Norte,
in contrast, also, to the eager and ex-
cited interest taken in this interna-
tional question by the citizens of FL
Paso in the superbly calm indifference
of the majesty of old Uncle Sam. who is
browsing supinely at Fort Bliss, within
a hundred yards of the hostile hills of
Mexico, on the other side of amounta'n
stream that can gbF waded- just7 now
with the greatest Of Ease. To lock at
Fort Bliss to day, nobody would i'm
CINE that within one mile Of n a hostile
city was bristling with armed men
breathing fiery vengeance against the
hated American. A surreptitious train

the Mexican army of observation came
sure enough at daylight on Saturday
morning. ! There is no kneRing how
many more may follow to day or to-
morrow. The Mexicans are perfect
adopts in keeping intended military
movements in the dark. Care is taken,
however, that whatever OF tangible
nature really does trapspire Ia Mill
tary circles is Immediately brought TO
the knowledge of the Government st

here in FL Paso to-day that the arrrestof

Consul Brigham's clerk was .insulted
