Ell PAso TEX, July 23d.-In spite 0
the repeated assurances given by the MeXi
can officials during the day that no NOR,
troops should be sent to Paso del Norte, i
is learned late tonight, from authentic
sources, that train loaded with troops il
on its way north from Chihuahua and viii
be in Paso del Norte before daylight. Ther,
is evidently a concentration of troops com
mencing. They are thought to be Chihua
hua State and not Mexican Federal troops
SECOND DIsPATCH.J
Ell PAso (Tex.) July 23d.-Paso de
Norte is still full of Mexican soldiers. AL
though heavy reinforcements are an
nounced as on the way from chihuahua
they have not yet arrived. The State De
partment at Washington is kept fully ad
vised of all military movements the
Mexioans may undertake.
Medina, who was arrested by the Mexi
can police for interfering with and abusing
Consul Brigham has been in cell No.
while editor Cutting is confined in cell No
6, adjoining Cutting is very much disap
pointed that he was not put in the same cell
with him, and he tried to bribe the jailel
to do so, but without avail as that func
tionary apprehended violence in case he
should comply. The Mexican authorities
are very much put out about the bad break
Medina made in assaulting the American
Consul, and express regret that he has thus
prejudiced their cause. Senior Manuel
Rinsen, Private Secretary of the Governor
of Chihuahua, called on Consul Brigham
to day and assured him of his regard and
friendship. He said the troops had been
sent to Paso del Norte merely as as
precautionary measure, and if the excite
ment did not increase, no more would be
sent. He was astonished that Cutting had
refused to accept bail when offered, as that
would not have prejudiced his case at all.
Consul Brigham replied that Cutting had
done right; that the case was beyond the
reach of petty Courts or States now, and
was question between the two nations.
There is evidently hitch in negotiations
on the part of the Mexicans somewhere,
as there has been no further developments.
To-day Consul Brigham modified his pre-
vious report, and says Medina did not
abuse him, but hit his Secretary only.

Over-Sensitive Prohibitionists.
DETROIT, July 23d-Governor AIger!
political doom is apparently sealed. Th,
| Prohibitionists of the State are about t.
rise en- masse and impale him. The caus'

the wine-lockers in the car. Rev. F. B
| Crossy, editor of the State Prohibition
organ, said to-day "Governor Alger il
under obligations to respect the moral sen
timent of the State, and he knows full wei
| that this sentiment is against the whisky
curse This public moral sentiment ha
been outraged to the last degree. / hav
no hesitation in saying that in building tn
wine-lockers in his private car, Governo
Alger has in effect slapped the temperate
people of this State in the face, whethe
| they belong to the Republican, the Demo
cratic or the Prohibition party. Alger !
by virtue of his position the representative
Republican of the State, and as such hi
private acts may properly be taken as in
dicative of the party spirit, and so in
large measure We will hold the Republica
party responsible for its leaders wine
