OF the alleged purpose Of the Mexicans TO
pardon Cutting as soon IS he shall have
entered upon his term Of imprisonment.
but there is q disposition to believe that
some way soon will be found to release
him. and thus to get rid OF the annoying

a Remuneration so far as American citizens
are concerned, since the claim Ia held to be
abhorrent to all principles of general in
ternAtiOnal law as recognized and pro-
tected by Governments which make any
pretense to civilization.
