THE CUTTING CASE.

Although Properly Reticent, Secretary
Bayard is Pushing the Investigation Of
tue Cutting Case, With Every Reason to
Believe lie Was Right in First Premises.
WASHINGTON, Sept Although Sec
rotary Bayard is properly reticent re-
speeding any recent correspondence be-
tween this country and Mexico, it is
readily apparent to those who converse
with him that he expects to push the
point raised in the Cutting case quite
vigorously. 1t can not be learned
whether any communications have come
from Mr.. Sedgwick giving report of
progress in the inquiry he was sent to
Mexico to make, but Mr.. Bayard so
speaks of the disputed points in the
Cutting trial as to imply that he has
received satisfactory confirmation Of
the original statements upon which
he demanded Cuttings release. lie de-
clares very emphatically, in speaking OF
the matter, that there was not only no
misstatcment in the first announcements
as to the offense charged against Cutting,
but that there has not been any change in
the Mexican court records in respect to
that matter. He is quite sure that he
was right at the start in assuming that
the Mexican courts were undertaking to
try an American citizen for printing a
libel within the jurisdiction of the United
States and entirely outside of Mexico.
81 don't doubt that fact now any more
than | did in my first telegram to Min
lister Jackson" said Mr.. Bayard, "and |
hardly believe the fact that this was the
original charge will be disputed. The
change of position atterward taken was
unques tionably suggested by ingenious
people on this side of the line who in
vented legal subtleties for the Mexican
courts"
Mr.. Bayard went on to explain that the
device of trying Cutting for the circu
lation of a libel in Mexico rather thar
for the publication in Texas with the
idea of making the subsequent publica
ton continuing Offense, and thus con
Meeting that with the original cause o.
complaint, which arose within Mexican
| Jurisdiction, was never thought of by thu
Mexican officials until suggested TO then
by their very swift allies in the United
States. 1t is scarcely probable that Mr.
! Sedgwick has pursued his inquiries TO
so long time without keeping the Stat
Department advised as to his discoveries
so that the confidence manifested by Mr.
Bayard regarding what the Mexican cour
records show can not but mean that h
has satisfactory assurance to this effec
from his special envoy.

New YORK, Sept. 9.-The wind was
blowing at the rate of tweny-six miles an
hour this morning when the two yachts,
the MayfOwer and Galatea, fol-

everywhere, but the occasion was not
marked by the display which had
accompanied the first race. At 11:55
