| One of the topics considered at to-day's
| Cabinet meeting was the Morrison surplus
resolution The sentiment Of such OF the
members as expressed themselves on the
question was in entire accord with the
| views recently expressed by Acting Secre-
| tary Fairchild before the Senate Finance
| Committee. 1t is said that while the Pres

| ing of the Cutting case, that he had no

! tiles would do whatever was right in the

he had no doubt that pending negotiations
will have satisfactory termination He
did not think the massing Of Mexican
! troops near Paso del NoTte had any hostile

movement against local insurgents The
matter was the subject Of discussion at the
Cabinet meeting to-day.

Tie Cutting Affair.

mains in Jail. The dungeon became 50
| fearlully hot that an order was given to
! break a small window through brick wall
| to admit little air. Before that there was
no ventilation, except by small door.
| His daily allowance for subsistence has
| been raised from seven to fifty
cents a day Meanwhile the Mexican
troops are keeping busy at some kind OF
work in the rear of the barracks and the
old cathedral. They deny that they are at
! ..
! but refuse to state what it is. The attitude
| of the Mexican authorities shows very
clearly that they DO not intend to give Cut
| ting up under any circumstances. Senor
Ramos, Chief Justice of chihuahua, with
Senor Rincon The Governors private
! Secretary, were in El Paso to-day, and had
! q talk with some Of our leading citizens
about the Cutting case. They could arrive
! at no other conclusion than that Cutting
| was guilty of deliberate and fragrant con-
J tempt of the Mexican Court, an oifense
| committed on Mexican soil, and coming
under Mexican laws. They stated the pub
| lication made by the prisoner in an Ell Paso
newspaper did not figure in the matter at
! all, except as corroborating the charge of
| contempt, based upon other acts. Both
gentlemen said the question was now the
subject of correspondence between the two
| Governments, and would be settled in the
ordinary course Of diplomacy, but that the
[ Government of Mexico could not be scared
into an unconditional surrender.

been purchased at much lower figure
than the present quotation. Your CORE
