PRONOUNCING SENTENCE.
How Cutting Acted During Ills Sente
By the Coart.
Chicago Times 8pecial.
El Paso, Texas. August 8.—As sentence
was pronounced upon Cutting at Paso del
Norte, Mexico, last evening, tho prisoner
turned slightly pale, but was otherwise
thoroughly composed. When the reading
of the sentenco was finished he asked in a
loud voice of the court, at tho samo time
pointing to Medina:
'About tho $000, is that creature to get
any of it?”
At this point Consul Brigham interposed
to stop him.
If the prisoner uses insulting language,”
said tho judge, “I can add something to tho
term of his sentence.”
Judge Brigham assured tho court that
rithcr he nor Guilin** mount, any ilisros-
iect to it. “Let us understand,” said
udge Brigham, “just what this is for.”
“It is for tho publication on the other
sido of an articlo which ia held to have vi
tiated a rcconcilation made on this side.”
•And this ad mi thi otln-r si l«-." ron-
tinued Brigham, “was construed on this
side as contempt of court?”
To this tho court replied in tho negativo.
The court then turned to the prisoner, and
isked: “Do you still *t«md under tl.»- pro
tection of your government?”
I do,” replied Cutting.
Do you wi*h to take nn appeal to tho
Supreme Court?" tho judge asked.
“I have no appeal to mako except to tho
government of the United States.
“If’you should desire to take an appeal,’
said Judge Zabia, “you have five doys iu
which to give notice. Do yon wish to sign
tho proceedings of this court?”
l sign nothing.”
Do you wish to express satisfaction or
dissatisfaction with tho sontence?”
No, sir; I have never recognized your
court or jurisdiction, and I do
not recognize its right to imprison me for
one hour.”
Catting was then taken back to jail, and
will be sent to Chihuahnn in a day or two.
No sooner was the fact of Cutting’s sentence
known than both towns on tlio Mexican
and American side were wild with exeito-
ment. Two secret mootings wore held her<
and companies of minuto-mcn wero organ
ized. The merchants fear barm if the sol
diers are not promptly on hand. Citizens
are secretly organizing, so as to act on the
defensivo. Their voice is unanimous for
tho vindication of American honor and pro
tection)of our citizens. Tho Mexicans, too,
aro angry at the tone of our piesH, and pc
»lo are ft urful of violence on amount
irnorouH mass-iueetiug'* 'Uiieh are 1
ing held.
inaction of tho House was duo to reports re
ceived and generally circulated aiming
members on both sides of the chamber that
Editor Cutting was a somewhat adventur
ous citizen who had gone upon Mexican
soil ns a disturbing element, had declined nu
offer ot' lus liberty on bail to await a trial,
Lai swathed himself iu the American ting
for martyrdom and notoriety. It was not
thought worth while to make trouble with
Mexico for such a man as this without a
fuller knowledge of tho facts and a better
assnranoe that the man was entitled to the
consideration of the government, and w hile
members were in this frame of mind tho
time passed within which action might lmvo
been takon. If it shall turn out that this
citizen lias been wrongfully deprived of his
liberty and convicted, an indemnity pro
ceeding will doubtless be instituted, which
w ill not only vindicate the honor of the
government, but be more satisfactory to the
aggrieved party. This course is suggested
by a high official of tho State Dopurtim ntaH
the one now likely to be take.!. This has
been done in other notable inst&11068 with
good results.
A well known officer of tho regular army,
who lias traveled in Mexico extensively and
served on tho border many years, said to
day in this connection: “It was taken for
granted that Cutting's release would bo u
simple exerciso of constitutional Federal
authority. But this was far from being the
