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.
