llcir ate. nevertheless, somc rumors about
taWu of impending naval amt military
movements against Mexico, but these can
not us Yet be construed into any thing def
mite or startling. They may be- perhaps in
~licatiye OF a determination on the part of the
Government to be forelIanded and prepared
for an emergency. The Galena was ordered
tn the Gulf last week. This is an action
that certainly does give rise TO much com
mert in army and navy circles, II being con
sidered an extraordinary proceeding in TINT
of peace. The Nandalla and Juniata were
ordered to Valparaiso last Friday and 1t is
whispered by knowing ones that it would
not be surprising if the ships, when they
stop at Key West for supplies, should be
intercepted there by dispatches directing
their course to the Gulf. 1t was stated at
the War and Navy Departments to-day that
no movement of troops or vessels had yet
been ordered with a view to possible war
fare. 1t is unoiticially learned that the cor
respOndence now in progress is expected TO
bring about definite results of some kind
within a few days and that the direct OBJ
jects sought to be accomplished by this
Government are the release of Cutting.
TEXAs EAGER o A
AUSTIN, Tex, Aug. 1l.-IeSterday Gov
ernOr Ireland received an answer to his let
Ter to Secretary Bayard relative TO the
! murder of Francisco Rasures by Mexican
| officials. Secretary Bayard says: $50 far
as refers to the guilt in this great crime of
the Mexican officials or citizens all the en-
beavers will continue to be used by this
department to the United States Minister
at Mexico to cause a prompt and thorough
investigation TO be made by the authorities
of that country with q view of bringing to
justice under the laws of that country all
persons within its jurisdiction connected
with and answerable for this treacherouS
cruel murder of Francisco ltaSureS." Every
body is cOmplimentlng Secretary Bayard
and the war spirit predominates. The
people see a ray of hope now that the Mex
ican outrages and Mexican insults will be
redressed. All the newspapers compliment
the Secretary of State and the street talk
is all for Bayard and wal. The young
men are particularly anxious to have a
Nush with Mexico either under Federal
authority or by Governor lreiand's permis-
sion. Many prominent Texans returning
from Washington all report that the Gov
erument means business and Is moving
without unseemly haste, but that. every
thing will be all right in the end. At four
o'clock yesterday evening a telegram passed
through Dallas from an official at Washing
ton to an official at FL Paso which read as
follows: Secretary Bayard has inst made
a final demand on the Mexican Government
for the immedi1te surrender of Cutting"
When the dispatch was buIletined it created
the ~liyeiieSt excitement.
QUIET.
CITY OF MEXICO, Aug. 10.-The news of
the sentence of Cutting was received with
out surprise here, but it is not generally be-
lieyed that lie will serve out his sentence.
The leading newspapers are discussing the
case in its legal aspects and without excite
ment. The EOrLIn, the daily organ of the
legal fraternity of the capital, has a long
article on the case, citing many other
similar cases and Il long array of legal
opinions, coming to the conclusion that
Mexico stands on sound legal grounds.
The Siq3p Diuz NIeUc, a supporter of the
administration, takes the same view ana
urges that both Governments adhere to the
spi.it OF the treaty Of Guadaloupe Hidalgo,
which. in its twenty-firSt article provides
for a careful and alnicable adjustment of
ali questions of difference in a spirit of
good neighbOrship.
IN sTATU QUO.
Ell pAso, Tex. Aug. 1l.-Every thing is
very quiet here to-day. Last evening the
municipal authorities of Paso del Norte
and this place exchanged views. Both
sides have additional police officers on duty
and any rash act will be readily suppressed.
Cutting is still in Jail and the time for
starting for Chihuahua has not been made
known. There was no change last night in
the Cutting imbrogliO, both sides of the
river being quiet and awaiting further de-
velopments from their respective capitals,
boil. State and National. 1t is reported
tina many Mexlcan troops are endeavOring
to desert but their officers watch them very
closely. FL Paso has three volunteer com.
panie8 fully armed and equipped with the
best improved firearms contributed by local
merchants.
TWENTY-EIGHT MEN READY.
TOMBSTONE, Ariz., Aug. 11.-Consider
able excitement prevails here regarding
Mexican complications, this place being
less than forty miles from the frontier and
undefended. The following telegram was
sent to-day to Governor Ireland, of Texas
I'VE have a force of twenty-eight, armed
and equipped, ready to take the field a
once, subject to your orders"
