V false Report,
Washington, August 12. -One of the
rumors in circulation in reference to the
difficulties between the United States and
Mexico is that the more recent corre
spondence between the two countries has
taken the matter at issue considerably
ontstde of the Cutting and Ensures cases'.
The statement is that Mr. Bayard has gone
beyond the judical acts of the country and
attacked the theory of the Mexican system
of jurisprudence. The Mexican laws are
founded on the code of several European
nations, and ns a last resort in the interest
of peace it will be proposed that the entire
question be referred to international arbi
tration as to whether the Mexican code as
administered in the Cutting case is in ac
cord with international law. Mr. Bayard
is resolved to enforce acquiescence in his
S eremptory demand for Cutting's release.
n the other hand Mexico insists that it
is not just for one govern
ment to ask another to ignore
its only internal safeguard, the
regular administration of the law. and re- restoration of the contraband trade. Presi
quire the surrender ot a prisoner held for | dent Diaz, the Mexican, has no wish for a
violation of its laws; that it such a step collision with his powerful neighbor, and

On the other side of the river the same

much to appearances, as it is generally ad
mitted that only by a miracle can war be
avoided, though il may take some time be
fore the end of peace is reached. In con
sequence of this the company °f' inmute

only thing left to American citizens will be
to claim British citizenship for
protection. He says Americans
who claim that they are
protected in their rights and property in
Mexico, do so because they fear to speak
the truth. He says Americans are not
treated with the same consideration as the
British, French or Germans, ile went to
Mexico in 1H79, and says he knows What
he is talking about. The American consul
has heretofore been inter-married with
Mexicans, a trader with Mexicans, and

i in May, when liis sickness promised to be
; permanent, he sent his resignation to the -
president, who requested him to let it re
main in abeyance until October. Since
, then his health has been slowly ini provfnk,
j and the president lias already received art
vices which gives him renewed hope that
, Mr. Manning may be able, after all, to re
consider his determination to retire fron.v
[ public life. His health, it is said, lias bc-
1 come decidedly better during the past.
; week or two, and if the present rate or itn
t provement is maintained his physicians
! are ineiined to think that he can resume
tin* secretaryship. Mr. Manning himself
! has no yet (lecided what to do about it. He
may not wish to serve again in any event.
| but he lias not determined not to do bo.

New York, August 12.—There are very
few who believe that tiie Lnited .Mates
will become involved in a war with *>R’ X '
ico on the strength of the 1 utting case.
Matters have not gone that tar yet,
there is a growing feeiing that Mexico
must make a very full explanation tor the
detention of Cutting. , . XT
Ylr. Navarro, tbe Mexican consul in Ney
York, was seen yesterday. Mr. Navarro
thought that the matter had been exag
gerated. He believed that it all could be
settled peaceably by correspondence.
When the state department at M ushington
learned nil the facts he did not bejjc'.e
it would be found that the Mexican gov
ernment had violated any international
law. Mr. Navarro regarded the matter in
the light of a quarrel between the states
of Chihuahua and’Texas. L nder the code
of the stale law of Chihuahua Mexa-o
claimed the right to try a man tor any
offense against the Mexican law, no mat
ter where committed, as soon as the
offender put his foot on Mexican soil.
Texas had the same law, lie said: -o no
fhult could be found with it. Mr. ..avano

' Derlin, August 12. The Irish Times
I /conpMi vativei states that it is reliably in-
| formed that Lord Randolph Churchill is
engaged in tlrnlting a bill intended to solve
: the Irish problem. The skeleton of the
: measure is already done, the paper says,
and provides for universal local self-goV-
| eminent throughout Great Britain and Ire-
l land, giving Ireland, England, Scotland
and Wales control each of its own imnie-
1 diate affairs,and leaving the supreme power
| of the imperial parliament undiminisiied.
The bill is described ua a measure which
opens tiie door to imperial federation.
J The full text, the JrisJi '1 imes says, will not
be completed before next February, but
adds, “bo far as It has gone it has been
submitted to Salisbury, Hartington and
I others and is broad enough to satisfy all
I moderate Irishmen.”
