A dispatch from Kingman, Kansas, says:
Heavy rains have fallen at Kingman after
nearly three weeks or dry weather. This
whole county, as well as Pratt and Reno
counties, were visited with the best rain in a
year. Corn in the eastern half Of this
county has been injured perhaps % per cent
by the drOuth, but this rain insures an aver
age Of about 90 per cent. of full crop for
the county. Wheat Welded over half a crop.
Oats are nearly a full crop. The rain raised
the Minnesota river at this point nearly as
high as during the great Hoods Of April, 1885.
Considerable damage Is reported to the new
bridges and embankments of the K. p. q
w railroad now building west from here.
Senior Mondrego, the chief of police OF
Puedras Nlegras, Mexico, made demand
upon the authorities Of Eagle Pass Texas,
for the body of Francisco Rasures, whom he
charged with being a horse thief. Deputy
Sheriff Dias arrested Rasures and took him
before the county judge, who signed eZtradi-
ton papers without giving the accused a
hearing, and the deputy sheriff delivered
I him to the Mexican authorities. Rasur6s lE
/ a naturaliZed citizen, and he has appealed to
i United States Consul Lynn for protection.
Consul Lynn has demanded the release %
the prisoner and his return to Eagle Pass
for trial for the Otfense alleged. MOndregO
reports that the case has been transfer red TO
the higher courts, and that he could do
nothing. This Is a clear case of kidnapping,
and the facts have been reported to the state
department at Washington and to Governor
Ireland OF Texas. News has been received
here that Rasures was taken two miles
below Puedfas Eiegras, and by order of the
MeIlcans, was hung. 1t Is positive that
trouble is brewing IN Mexico and that a rev.
9lutlOn is liable to break out at any moment
Large quantities of carteidges and ammuni-
ton are stored here consigned TO prOmi-
nent firm IN Puedras Niegras.
A dispatch from FL Paso, Texas, says;
PasO Del NOrts is full of Mexican soldiers.
Although heavy rsinfOrcements are an
nOunced as on the way from chihuahua,
they have not yet arrived. The state de-
partment at Washington is keptfully advised
Of all military movements the MeLicans may
undertake. Senator Manuel Rincen, private
secretary Of the governor of Chihuahua,
called on Consul Brigham, and assured him
of his regard and friendship. He said the
troops had been sent to PasO Del Mort
merely as a precautionary movement, anu
if the excitement did not increase no more
would be sent. He was astOnished that
Cutting refused to accept bail when offered
as that would not have prejudiced his case
at all. COusul Brigham replied that Cutting
had done right. That his case Wsr not be-
yOnd the reach Of petit courts Of the state.
1t was a question between the two nations
There is evidently a hitch in the negotiations
on the part of the MeLicans as there has
been no further developments. Council
Brigham modified his previous report and
says Medina did not abuse him, but his sec
rotary.
