y COnsurs Report on the Condition
of the Colony I'm Mexico.

- tnt toiony HI htxicos
WASHINGTON. July 6.-The State De-
partment Is in receipt of a report from
Jesse W. Sparks. counsel at Pedras Negras,
on the colony of negroes brought from Ala
bama and Georgia last February to
Tlahnalila, Mexico. concerning whose treat
ment there have been many conflicting re-
ports Reports have appeared in American
newspapers that some OF the colonists es-
capped from the farm. were pursued by w.
H Ellis, the colored man who imported
them, and that thirty-two were shot down.
while the survivors were captured. taken
back to the colony and subjected to harsh
punishment The consups investigation has
shown this story to be almost entirely
without foundation Forty-three Of the col
onists did leave the colony, but the leader
OF the band. Joe Caldwell. has stated that
ms motive In going away was a ruse to
satisfy his sons. who wished 10 run away:
that flight was impracticable. Caldwell led
the band over the mountains and then back
TO the colony. All were brought back in
safety, except twenty-one men and women
who separated from the others and insisted
on going on ahead These have not been
traced, but some OF them reached the
United States and II is probable spread re-
returned to the colony. No one was shot
or wounded, but Caldwell states he was
struck by q Mexican with the barrel of a
gun and otherwise injured and confined for
nearly two weeks in the colony lookup.
The band was met and badly frightened by
some Mexicans who had been sent out from
the colony to find them and relieve them,
ag they were without food or water.
Mr.. Charles Paul Mackie, an American,
who investigated the affair, corroborates
this statement and declares that the colo
uists are receiving good treatment, al
though many Of them lave been sick from
change OF water. diet, etc. They now have
the benefit. however. of good medical at
tendance. Although some of the colonists
tell stories of harsh treatment, the consul
81 indfsposed to credit them and attributes
their troubles to the fact that they are in
. strange country, among strangers and
do not speak or understand the language.
The negro manager, Ellis, rules. however,
in the consuls opinion with great severity,
and the negroes say he made representa-
tons to them in America which he has
failed TO carry out In Mexico.
