CUTTINGS CASE.


CITY OF MEXICO, Aug. 19-It can be an
nounced that the Cutting imbroglio is
very near an end and with honor to Mex.
leo Though there is not the slightest inten-
ton of needing the demand for Cuttings
release as communicated to Mr.. Marsca
by Minister jackson under instructions
from his government, yet it is very prob
able that Cutting will he shortly set at
liberty. The decision of Judge Xubia, has
been under consideration by the officers
OF the government for fully week. Mr.
Marlscal, the head of the Mexican state de
partment has given the matter themost Sc
rious attention, having addressed himself
TO the task of defending the position Mex
ic0 occupies in regard to the right to try

foreigners who may chance to come upon

EXPENSIVE MISUNDERsTANDI Sc.
The Expert didn't Know He was to Ex-
anime Gray's Books.

SPRINGFIELD, Mass, Aug. 19.-The
Springfield Republican has the following
authentic account of the method of Gray's
defalcatlons and of the way they were dis
covered The directors of the Atlantic
and Indian Orchard mills like those of the
other mills, employed an expert to exam
inc the accounts every six months. He
certified to their correctness and it was
not until Friday last when in CONVERSE
ton with him, that two of the directors
were informed by this worthy that he I'M
derstood his duty to be not to examine the
treasurer's account, but to see If those
employed by the treasurer were honest.
The directors were astounded at such an
Interpretation of that officials duty and
told him he was to examine the accounts.
They told him he was to examine the ac-
counts of all officials from the highest to
the lowest. They questioned him closely
and to their establishment he finally told
them of the defalcaton of Gray, which
extended over series of years, which he,
and, as it is understood, the clerks of the
corporations knew. They acted at once
when this astonishing information was
given. The Gray case is the worst that
ever occurred in New England, because he
has been deliberately appropriatng money
for years. and had been able to bulldoze
his clerks into silence, and to make the
expert believe that it was not his business
to report his errors, but only those of his

BELLICOSE MEXICO.
Ihat Country's Military Keservation-W ar
Feeling in lei Paso.

Ell PAso, Texas, Aug 20-Dr Rafael
LaldlNar, eX-president of San Salvador,
maintains that under the laws of Mexico
Cutting is legally held as he would be in
france, Germany or Austria, and the
feeling of the entire Mexican nation is a
unit against surrendering him to the
United States on the grounds of interna-
tional comfy. The feeling of the country
is that if the United States insists on his
surrender they must fight for him. Mex
leo believes that in the early part of the
struggle the United States Will prove vic
torlous, but as the war progresses success
Will be all upon their side They point
with pride to their standing army of 80. 600
men, their unmatched cavalry and their
capacity to place $50, 600 men in the field
In comparatively short time and ALI
parties are hopeful that the issues of the
day Will he submitted to the arbitrament
OF war. In FL Paso the war feeling IS
again growing. The conservative, or
what was known as the anti-War party
are convinced and openly express their
convection that the safety Of their invest
ments IN the Mexican republic require the
release of Cutting under the original de
mand of Mr.. Bayard, and that
an indemnity be paid for his de.
tention. Nothing less than this will
protect Americans in that country in
the future. At the same they insist that
should any concessions in behalf of the
rights of American citizens be made by
the general government, President Diaz
could not enforce them in the several
states, which claim supreme sovereignty
i'll their several Jurisdictions This
would only involve matters of personal
rights still deeper, and every foreigner
would be worse off than he is at present

conservatives Will of course create a more

THE FISHERIES DISPUTE.
CANADIANS DlSPLEASeD WITH THE
LAWS ENFORCEMENT.
Their Business Interests Suffering Great,
from the Expulsion of the Americans
The Testimony of American and
Canadian Oficers.

PORTLAND, Me-, Aug 22.-The officers
of the North Atlantic squadron have been
interviewed in regard to the results of the
fisheries disputes. The Yantic boarded
several fishermen and her commander
saw Capt. Scott OF the Lansdowne. There
is no truth in the report that the Yantic
warned fishermen to obey the regulations
of the treaty of 1918 None of the fisher
men made any complaint of i'll treat
ment. They reported the officers of the
Canadian cruisers as reasonably court
eous. The Canadian patrol steamers so
far, have been Intellectual to accomplish
the purpose designed The Caena cruised
around Prince Edward Island, visiting
North bay first and returning through
northumberland strait to the fishing fleets
in the eastern portion of North bay around
North cape and along east shore toward
NOrthumberland strait. The Galena
boarded 90 American vessels and offered
them whatever assistance they might
need. During the whole time the Galena
waSWlth the fishermen no one of the officers
saw Canadian cruiser, although subse-
quently they met Capt. Scott of the l4ans
downe. The Canadians seems to be more
ANXIOUS to enforce the strict obedience of
the custom laws than to be on the lookout
to make any seizures that would raise an
issue under the treaty of 1918 In the en-
torcement OF the custom laws the Domin-
ion officials seem to exercise the greatest
severity toward those American vessels
that are manned by Canadians
Gloucester or Portland men stand much
better show of civil and cOnsderate treat
ment than one from Prince Edward
Island, Cape Breton or Nova Scotia does
One significant fact was observed by the
Galena's officers, that when they asked
the skipper of vessels that they boarded
whether the treaty of 1878 was giving
them considerable hardship, the reply
generally was that while it was unsafe to
land for supplies, as they We're liable to a
seizure, and while the enforcement of the
custom laws was irksome they were still
getting along very well. The officers of
the Galena say. that while at Port
Hastings they talked with the official
of the port who said a.that business
had been almost Frustrated. The Off.
cial- himself had been doing profitable
trading business but prohibition of selling
supplies to Americans had ruined it. At
Cape Breton there is little money stirring
and the flourishing trade which was once
enjoyed by provincial fishermen aud farm
ers is now gone. The enforcement of the
strict terms of the treaty is making great
hardship and this hardship seems mostly
to be on the side of Dominion fishermen
and farmers.
