The Cutting Resolutions.
WASHINGTON, August 3d.-A member Of
the Foreign Affairs Committee holding
close relations with the Administration
stated tonight that the adoption Of the
Cutting resolutions, should they pass to-
morrow, would imply much more than
was generally supposed. In the first place
he said, Mexico has been asked to release
this man Cutting. Mexico has refused
and has given reasons. The resolutions
declare those reasons insufficient, and re-
quest the President to renew the demand
Should this renewed demand be refused
our Minister will be at once withdrawn
then probably an extra session of Congress
would have TO be called. Mr.. Belmont
Chairman of the House Committee on For.
eign fairs, is working most earnestly fol
the release of Cutting.
