Cutting Stlli Bn 5ait--Uounsel As
sfRned for His Defence.

no new Developments whatever In the |
Cutting case. Cutting is still in Jail and
ii looks as If he is apt TO stay there quite
u long times Many complaints are heard
here vi the deliberate action OF the Amer
lean government. People fear that the
question will be discussed by the diplo-
mats of the two countries until every
body loses interest in il. Tuesday night
Cutting was aroused from his sleep and
carried before Judge Castaneda, although
il had been pretended that the question
had been referred TO higher tribunal.
He WIS told that he would
be allowed to employ counsel but
this he refused TO do and
stated that he was simply in the hands of
his government. He said that he had no
defence whatever to make. He was then
sent back to prison. Yesterday morning
he was again called up and informed that
counsel had been officially assigned TO
him whether he might wish it or not.
Upon investigation il was found that the
man thus appointed is u law student and
not lawyer in regular practice. Consul
Brigham has received letter FROM Min
lister jackson, saying that he had no doubt
the matter about Cutting would he settled
in few days
En- PAso, TEXAS, July 80. Preparations
for the final trial of Editor Cutting are in
progress at FL Paso del Norte, although
il was given out several days ago that the
case had been transferred to n higher
court. The trial will come before the
same officials, Judge Castaneda, who has
from the beginning been with Medina,
the instiyator of the whole trouble.
He is an enemy of the prisoner
because the latter always treated him with
| a marked lack of respect. The trial will
commence within three days at the
| furthest. Counsel has been assigned to
| Cutting against his desire. The lawyer
who was thus assigned il said TO be inax-
perienced. Wsll-informed Mexieans who
are thoroughly conservant with the crimi-
nal practice OF their country, say the
sentence will be pretty apt To be two years
imprisonment.
II is not definitely known here whether
any demand for Cuttings surrender has
been made by the government at wash
| ington. II It has been made ii looks as
though it had been treated with marked
neglect. Many papers have lately pub
lished articles derogatory to Cuttings
character. He published yesterday in An
FL Paso paper, a reply TO these attacks III
which he takes strong ground against the
typographical union of the country, which
he has been nntagoni2ing for 20 years and
with the members of which he has had
many personal warfare, in which ht
Frequently came ont second best.
