| The resolutions were unanimously
adopted. and win be laid before the House
By Chairman Belmont tomorrow, ana
| immediate action requested.
A member Of the foreign a1airs COM
mittce, holding close relations with the
| administration, stated tonight that the
| adoption Of the Cutting resolutions,
should they pass the House tomorrow,
would imply much more than seemed to
be generally supposed. In the drst place,
he said. Mexico has been asked 20 release
this man Cutting. Mexico has refused,
and has given reasons. These reso-
lutions declare those reasons insufficient,
and request the President to renew the
demand. Should this renewed demand
be refused, our Minister will Be at once
withdrawn, and then, In all probability,
an extra session Of Congress would have
TO be called. Mr.. Belmont. the chair
man Of the House committee on foreign
affairs, r. working most earnestly Tor tn
release Of Mr.. Cutting.

81 "There Is certainly going to be trouble
unless the United States back down. The
President, through the advice Of Secre
tay Bsyard, has made pcremptory de-
mand for the release OF Cutting. tn
Mexicans, II Is evident, do no
intend to respect the demand. II

and will, undoubtedly, sentence him

made this peremptory demand unless
