Ell PAso, TRx., Aug. Although the
decision OF the supreme court at Chi
huahua was expected to be given to-day
confirming the sentence of the lower
court or granting new hearing to Cut
ting, we are without tidings from that
qaarter.
We do know that the reported arrival
OF 800 troops at Chihuahua Sunday night
is fact, and to-day passengers by the
Mexican Central report the arrival there
OF 200 more, and say that 800 are ex.
pected tonight. There are now, per-
haps, 1000 soldiers there, and one-third
as many in Paso del Norte.
We hear to-day that the chief officials
OF the Mexican Central railroad which
cost the Boston stockholders about $780,
100000 are at Chihuahua using their
Efforts to induce a reversal Of the de-
cision in the Cutting case, alleging that
1t Is the only solution OF the trouble and
the only way of avoiding war with the
United States.
President Wade Of the Mexican Central
left tonight for Chihuahua.
Some time during the night last night
nine Mexican soldiers deserted and
crossed over to this side.
II Is believed that two-thirds OF them
are awaiting an opportunity TO follow
suit.

ice In the field and has Haunted on the

plentiful as bees on honeycomb and

half the army OF the otate, crowded 20 the
desk and volunteered their services.
Enthusiasm and patriotism ran as high
rs the foam on the beer glasses, which O
corpulent bartender was busy passing
around. GsfSss xfTS IS1sE Es.s a. 80 n On 8
