AT midnight last night Cutting was
again aroused from his couch and brought
into the presence Of the Mexican Judge,
Castenada, who informed him that the
case has assumed such national import-
auce that he would be taken before the
first district court Of North Mexico,
where sentence would be pronounced AZ
some future day.
Col. Brigham endeavored to ascertain
when the trial would occur, but
could get no satisfactory reply.

:, HE CUTTING CASE.
Tho following interesting notes and
correspondence are taken from the El
Paso Tribune;
The reason that Cutting refused 20
give bail, when at midnight the scared
Judge offered IL TO him, was the same
that has led him from the first to refuse
to answer the alcalde's questions. He
| Ignores the court altogether, denies It's
{ jurisdiction aud will not compromise his
position by answering Its questions or
giving bail. In this he follows the ad-
vice of the American consul
To Judge Castaneda; There is an
American citizen In Washington who has
made disparaging remark about your
country. His name is Bayard He said
that any man who would leave the United
States TO go to such u country az Mexico
ought to 30 shut up. Besides, he has
added Injury TO Insult He has sent on
dispatch which has seriously interfered
with the workings of your system OF
justice. II was reported some time ago
that Secretary Bayard intended TO visit
Mexico during the summer vacation
Your course is clear, Judge. Arrest him
the moment the train reaches Paso del
Norte. You have law for IT. IL is pro-
