Chihuahua, Mexico, August 22.—The
second chamber of the supreme tribunal
of this state took up the case of A. K. Cat
ling, and after fully reviewing the entire
written evidence, argument was begun.
This did not last long, for the attorneys
pro and eon had previously come to an
agreement that the two months - imprison-
would not only render the criminal liable
to arrest anil punishment here for a
violation of our own laws, hut also, if
subsequently caught within the jurisdic
tion of the offended government, liable to !
apprehension nnd trial according to the i
laws of that power without calling for :
other action on the part of our govern- j
meat than the effort to see that the ac
cused h id a fair trial. But offenses :
against the persons or the interests of]
foreigners committed upon American soil, I
either by Americans or foreigners, are, it
is claimed, within tho sole and exclusive
jurisdiction of American courts, and to |
this doctrine, it is asserted, all civilized }
governments except Mexico assent.

Four miles of the track was washed away,
rendering it impossible for trains to ap
proach Indianola. There is much destitution
there among the poorer classes, who have
lost everything they possessed. The depth
of water is reported as great as it was dur
ing the great storm of 1375, when Indianola
lost nearly 200 of her citizens, swept
away. Friday night the flood of water
over the doomed town was so rapid that j
within two hours after the first appre- 1
hensious were felt every street was sub
merged many feet.
At San Antonio the loss to property is
$500,000. At Floresville the loss is $100,000.
Never before was lower Texas coast visited
by so terrible and destructive a storni.
It extended for 200 miles inland destroy
ing thousands of houses and involving
pecuniary loss of many millions. Among
tlie poorer classes great desolation must
prevail, as few were unable to save any
considerable portion of their small posses
sions from the general wreck. The entire
crop of the present year is practically gone
and a vast deal of suffering must ensue,
especially among the negroes, most of
whom are without means of any kind. It
is feared that many more people were
drowned at Indionola. The lower end of
the peninsula is completely washed away.
Many people are missing, and nothing defi
nite can be learned until the angry waters
recede.
The storm came in the shape of a hurri
cane. The waters of the gulf rose up and
in three hours the whole peninsula on
which Indianola is situated was under ten
feet of water. The total loss as far as now
known to Texas from the gulf is as follows:
Human lives lost, 38.
Loss to crops, $1,000,000.
Loss to city and town property, $3,400,-
000.
Loss to shipping and harbor improve

San Antonio, August 23.—The damage
to this city by the terrific cyclone of Fri
day night is estimated at $2,500,000. No
loss of life has been reported, and the work
of reparation is already in progress. From
the surrounding country come reports that
the cotton crop was seriously injured. The
plant was blown down, and the staple
beaten out by the rain and blown away.
Passengers on the Anauzas Pass railway,
from Bevilie and Floresville, report great
ravages by the storm at both
points. At 'Bevilie many houses in the
course of construction were demolished
and old ones were unroofed or otherwise
injured. Two churches at Floresville were
completely ruined while several stores and
dwellings were damaged seriously. An
aged couple in an attempt to cross the
swollen stream in a wagon, a quarter of a
mile from Floresville, were swept down
stream and the woman was drowned.

New York, August 23.—The employes
of Broadway and Seventh avenue and
University Place lines stopped work at I a.
m. to-dnyon account of a change yester
day in the schedule of time. This change,
it is claimed, added from three to five
hours to the work of each driver and con
ductor. The employes of the other west
side lines have been much dissatisfied with
various exactious of their sunerintendeut,
being obliged to work longer hours
ail around. It was sRid this
morning by a conductor on the Bleecker
Street road that all westside lines, except
Eighth ave.. would be called out to-morrow
morning. Sergeant Coombs, of tlie twety-
second precinct, with fifty policemen, took
possession of the Broadway Railroad

headquarters. As soon as the strike was
reported this morning, acting Superin

immediate communication with the pre

nagleet no precaution against possible
trouble. Most of the captains came to
headquarters during the forenoon and con

to hold their off platoons until notice was
given from headquarters that they would

j received there later lie thought tliey eer-
■ tainiv would have been sent to him at his
1 hotel. He was found this evening at the
1 theatre and advised of the in
formation telegraphed, reporting
tlie arrangement to release Cutting.
Gov. Porter said although he luid no ofli-
: rial advices to confirm the report, he luul
I every reason to believe it was entirely
true. II?- had expected for some time a
termination of tlie case somewhat in this
manner, and referred lo the fact that both
he and Secretary Bayard have informally
expressed their confidence that the as
surances of the Mexican government in re
spect to the release of Cutting would be
carried out. Just how these assurances
were to be fulfilled they had not known,
but apparently the officials of the state de
partment counted upon some device of the
Kind which appears to have been adopted.
When Gov. Porter was asked if lids gov
ernment would let tho matter end in this
shape, lie said very positively that he
i thought if any further action was to lie
taken, it was a mat er to he decided by
Cutting himself, and must be mainly of a
personal character. Cutting, he thought,
might perhaps ask the government to
make demand upon Mexico for redress,
but that would he a thing which could
easily he settled without becoming any
menace lo tne peace of the two countries.
In any event, lie added, there was bound
i to lie negotiations between the two gov
ernments in relation to the peculiar legal
doctrine Mexico had set up in
assuming extra-territorial jurisdiction. Ne
gotiations would necessarily go forward
upon that point, as it would he impossible
for the nation to ignore the attitude .Mexi
co has taken in assuming to try an Ameri
can citizen for a crime committed within
the jurisdiction of tlie United Sl ates. The
department would therefore continue
through the proper diplomatic methods
its endeavors to persuade Mexico to repeal
all laws or rules in any way involving its
: claims to exercise extra territorial juris
diction'. This would be upon the basis
that all enlightened nations have alian-
' dolled such claims, and that the United
States would resist them anywhere and
everywhere put forward.
WITH CUTTING OUT OF THE WAY,
as a direct issue the subsequent proceed

HIM DEPOSITION A NECESSITY.
Sofia, August ‘23.—The government’s
proclamation announcing the deposition
of Prince Alexander and reasons tliercfor,
declares that he rendered great services on
the field of battle, but politically he had
too little regard for the Bulgarians’ posi
tion as slav state and maintenance of rela
tions with. Russia. His deposition, on tills
account., was neccessary.
Ktirtivaoff, of the provisional govern
ment, realizing that tlie public sentiment
remained favorable to Prince Alexander,
caused a circular to be distributed among
! the people called a ministerial list, con
taining the names of prominent men of nil
parties and classes wlio, the document de
clared, were in the new movement, the
purpose being to cause a belief that the
goVeriinn lit was receiving general support.
Suc.li a combination is not considered
possible, as many of those named
are known to hold such different
views as to render their coalition impossi
ble. The garrison atShuma remains faith
ful to Prince Alexander and refuse to re
cognize the provisional government.
Numbers of the Bttlgatinns and Rtissio-
Phobist have already fled to Roumania.

Chicago, August 23. The cigar-makers’
