Distressing Condition OF CoIored CoIoniats
In Mexico, Near TI.hu- lilo.
WAsHINeToS, July 25-Bad news
has been received at the state depart
ment from the colony of American ne
groes who went into Mexico some time
ago and settled on tract of land near
Tlahualilo. A telegram was received
here at the department yesterday from
United States Consul Sparks, at Piedras
Negras, stating that the negroes are
in deplorable condition. These emf
grants were from the Southern state
of the United States, mostly from Ala
bama and the Carolinas, under most
alluring promises, from the emmigra-
tion agents, of comfortable homes in
Mexico, but from all accounts they
have been i'll treated and suffered
great hardships from the time Of their
arrival in that country. Consul Sparks
says the negroes are scattered for
miles along the railroad without
friends, homes or food, living on mos
quite bevns and branch water.
fhe consul says that he can do moth.
ing toward their relief, and he fears
trouble, because the negroes are starv.
ing. The railroads offer to make
liberal rates to take them out of the
country.
