Momentary Excitement ~ n Paso, Tevass
OccnsIoned BY volley Fired After
Mexican Deserter General Eagerness
for . Fight Manifest.
FL PAso, Tex, Aug. l2.-The only ex-
element about the Cutting matter yes
terday was occasioned by volley OF
about ten shots, which were fired after .
deserfer BY the Mexican troops, who were
as usual picketed along the south bank
OF the Rio Grande. number OF tn
mlnutc.men grabbed their Winchesters
and rushed out on the streets under the
impression that the greasers had
come. Outside Of this, absolutely moth
ing has occurred TO cause even faint
ripple OF excitement. Cutting IL IN jail
where the Mexlcans say he will remain
until his transportation to chihuahua
Uncle Sam has made no demonstration
here TO enforce the flrst demand for the
parently hold the fort.
Almost everybody here Is eager for the
fray. II Is claimed with great deal OF
reason that Il Il better that II should
come to blows between the two republics
over the Cutting case, and thereby for
ever nut an end to the persecution Of
bitter among All classes, and unless this
case Is disposed Of In Q manner consist
ent with the cause and dignity Of the
United States It will lead 70 an endless
chain Of border troubles between the
Americans and Mcxicans, during which
time great many lives will be lost.
The impression II gaining ground In
I'll Paso that the Cutting case will be the
subject Of diplomatic correspondence foT
some months 10 come, and that mean
while the prisoner will not be released
A good deal has been said in the last few
days about the defenseless condition 81
ri Paso In case OF sudden attack By
Mexicans, but there Is really no
cause for alarm. There are
few hundred Mexican soldiers In PasC
del Norte, but they seem sullen and dis
satisfied and ready 70 desert at the irst
chance. On the other hand, FL Paso
contains some splendid lighting material,
and could raise In an emergency ono
thousand armed men, who could hold the
place against any force the Mexicans
might bring against II, until help could
arrive By railroad. But these will
probably all be idle speculatlons, % the
whole disturbance seems to b quietly
settling down.
