The Cutting Affair Growing Serious


DENVER, Col, Aug. 9.-An El Paso
special says: The excitement over the
Cutting imbroglio is much intensified
to-day. A passenger on the train from
chihuahua City this morning says that
it is known positively that the Govern
or has ordered the Paso del Norte au-
thorities, in case of an attack from the
Texans troops, to cut off the prisoners
head and deliver it TO the Americans.
Eight hundred Mexican troops are said
TO have left Lagos for FL Paso del Norte
on Sunday night. 1t is asserted that Il
second demand has been made, and
that the American officials have been
notified to leave Mexico. Large crowds
gather at every street corner. The ar
rival of Company f, Tenth United
States Cavalry, at Fort Bliss, which
was assigned here two weeks ago, has
CAUSED IA rumOr to the effect that eight
car loaC S of United States soldiers are
on the spot. The bad effects Of these
difficulties upon business are becoming
apparent, and everything looks like war
from Mexican standpoint. a report
was circulated to the effect that Consul
Bingham had confirmed the statement
that second demand for Cuttings re-
lease had been made by the United
States Government, and the people
went wild with delight. Bingham,
however, says that he was misunder-
stood, that he expects such demand
ut any moment but does not know hat
it has yet eve: made. Cutting has been
called before the court in Paso del
Nortc, and Consul Brigham IS in at
tendance.
Testimonials many times are cut
from the whole cloth, and for every one
voluntarily given in praise of merit0r-

honest manufactures can write up q
dozen for his worthless products /; but
the following card from the traveller of
SOwer, Potts q Co., publishing house
known in almost every state in the I'm
ion, is SO emphatic and TO the point
that we cannot refrain from giving it
in evidence
