eutor. leave to enter civil suit against Cut
ting for damages after the sentence ex-
pires. In reference to the recommendation
OF the public prosecutor that Consul Brig
ham should be complained OF to the United
States and his removal requested, the
Judge says that he will refer that question
to the Supreme Court in Chihuahua.
Alter sentence was pronounced on Gut
ting the court, in answer to question of
Consul Brigham, said the punishment was
for the publication OF an article in Texas
which was held to vitiate reconciliation
in Mexico and that Cutting was not pun
ished for contempt OF court. Cutting still
declined to recognize the jurisdiction OF the
court, and said he had no appeal to make
except to the Government OF the United
States.
As soon as the verdict became known on
the American side the excitement became
intense every one seeming to understand
that a crisis was rapidly approaching.
The popular feeling was already high by
reason of an announcement in a local paper
that war would be declared not later than.
Monday. Places were opened for the en-
rollment OF minute men, nearly every able
bodied man in the community volunteer

On the Mexican side the excitement is
equally intense. The streets are filled with
excited people, all wildly gesticulating and
heaping imprecations on the presumptuous
''gringoes, f" who, they say, are endeavor-
ing to dictate to their courts, the authori-
ties being among the most vociferous in
their denunciation of the United States.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 9.--Secretary Bay
ard, in speaking of the trouble with Mex
leo over the arrest and Imprisonment of
A. K. Cutting, says:
''The whole point in the affair is that the
United States has courts for the trial of
It's citizens, and we can not tolerate such
a thing as the trial on foreign soil by for
elgn courts of American citizens for Of
lenses committed in tho United States.
We might as we'll not have any Govern
mentif we are to suffer any thing of the
kind. 1t does not enter into the case at the
present stage to enquire whether Cutting
was a turbulent citizen or not or whether
he has committed crime. The whole
point is that this country is entirely able
to deal with its own citizens"
