expected to bring about definite results OF
some kind within few days, and that the
direct object sought to be accomplished by
this Government is the release of Cutting.
DENVER, August lothian El Paso spe-

thing is very quiet to-day, and what little
excitement prevails does not come to the
surface. The immediate cause for this
tranquil state of affairs is an exchange of
