TOMBSTONE, A. T., Aug. 11.--Mr.
George Baker,a gentleman well known In
this city, came in this afternoon from Sui
phur Springs Valley, bringing the start
ling report that the Mexicans have dis
armed Captain Lawton and his command
in Sonora and taken them prisoners, and
that when this became known az Fort
Huachuaoa company Of troops was
sent from there, with orders 10 push
10 Lawton's relief and stop for nothing,
fighting their way through IL necessary.
A courier went through here In great
haste this morning, bearing sealed dis
patches 10 the officers in the dragoon
service.
CRY OF MEXICO, Aug. 1.-THE Too
Repubhss this morning published an edi-
torial on the Cutting caso. After showing
the points OF law ON which the two gov
ernmenls differ irreconcilably, the stand
taken by each government being sup
ported by precedents and laws actually in
force in the different countries, IT suggests
arbitration as the most satisfactory solu-
ton, and urges the Mexican government
10 use its influence for the suspension OF
UuttlngA sentence meantime.
Interviews with several prominent
Mexicans and Americans show that this
suggestion il heartily Endorsed here. The
MexicanR even think that in case arbitra-
ton could be arranged the chihuahua
government would pardon Cutting imme-
diately, merely leaving the arbitrators to
settle the question of jurisdiction in
volyed, thus establishing precedent for
future reference. The Americans would
like TO soc the question arbitrated, but do
not care what may be done about Cut
ting. He is generally supposed TO have
brought about the present difficulty for
misohiovous purposes.
In an interview to-day European
diplomat, whose official position prevents
the use Of his name, said 1.-THE United
States and Mexico certainly should be
able 10 settle the cases in dispute, oven IL
they have 10 resort to friendly arbitra-
ton. II is certain that the state Of Chi
huahua has as good right TO her pecu-
liar code as has France, from which
country chihuahua took her example. II
is not likely that the United States in O
case of similar kind with France would
make a peremptory demand for the re-
lease of her citizens. The United States
view of this case will not be the view of
European countries where similar law TO
that of chihuahua obtains England does
not recognize the divorce law Of certain
American states, but that is no reason for
war. II would be u bad example of re-
publican institutions il two nations like
the United States AMI Mexico had 70 re-
sort TO war TO settle such case ms that OF
Cutting"
Ell PAso, Aug. 11.-This Inns been an
of day in the Cutting case. Yesterday
the Geographic and other reports received
here indicated that the government was
hard at work on the case, and that fact
seemed TO quiet the people. They urt
willing to leave the whole matter to the
government if they are assured the gov
eminent is giving attention TO the matter
When whole day passes and there is
nothing 10 indicate that anything has
been done in tho case people here become
very restless and are inclined TO take the
law into their own hands. 1t is only the
belief that Cutting would be killed that
prevents an attempt to rescue him. There
has been plentiful lack of information
here all day, and, as usual, the excitement
first cooled and then reacted. Tonight
the excitement is Mt white heat again,
but there have been absolutely no deyel-
opments day"
ST LOUIS, Mo-, Aug. IL. - The follow
ing interesting account of the feeling in
different parts of Mexico regarding the
Cutting affair is telegraphed from Laredo
Tex, to the GlObe- Democrat Letters and
couriers arriyingin Nuevo Laredo, Mexico,
confirm the superstition that the reyolu.
tionary party in Northern Mexico il in
for crossing swords with the United
States.
II is reported ON good authority that
General Oasas, who has recently depre-
dated in the vicinity of Sabiras, has
offered TO join hands with the federal
government and clear the Yankees. Gov
eminent dispatches from Victoria, the
capital Of the state OF Tamaulipas, re
| ceived in Nuevo Laredo are TO the effect
that the town is much excited over the
III Paso aAa Eagle Pass complications.
Public opinion rs to the justification OF
| Mondragen is divided, Eo-Ie claiming Lu
was justifable and others condemning
him. The governor OF Tamaulipas is haid
to have asserted that il he was in the po-
| sition of Governor Bornat OF chihuahua,
he,wonld never give Cutting up, and the
people of his state appear TO uphold him
in his opinion.
From Parras Lineris the news comes
that the prospect OF war with the
United States is hailed with delight, ms
many in that section wish to mid in wiping
out the remembrance of their defeat NJ
Palo Alto, Monterey and Buena Vista.
Their Unborn antipathy and intense hatred
for the grengoes creeps out daily MS is
shown in their treatment of Americans.
The governor of Coahuila Seems TO be
more conservative and is said to be in
favor of peace and conciliatory means.
kilograms from Santillo says that q
brigade of infantry arrived in that city
this morning. Their future destination
is not known.
StOckmen arriving from Mexico state that
the news of the trouble with the United
States has just reached remote regions in
the interior, causing great excitement,
and making il dangerous for stock buyers
to stay in their midst, Importers in
Nuevo Laredo are countermanding orders
for goods in contemplation of trouble, as
they are confident Cutting will never be
given up. The present suspense is para
Lying business on the border.
