Washington, July 25.-Bad news has
been received at the state department
from the colony of American negroes
that went to Mexico some time ago
and settled on a tract of land near
Tlahualilo. A telegram received from
United States Consul Sparks, at Peid-
ras Negras, states that the negroes are
in a deplorable condition. These emil
grants from the southern states went
to Mexico under alluring promises
from emigration agents of comfort
able homes in that country, but from
all accounts they have been ILL.,
treated and suffered great hardships
from the time of their arrival. The
consul says that the negroes are scat
tered for miles along the railroad with
out friends, funds or food, living on
beans and branch water. One hun
ony are at Torean in a destitute condl-
ton with fifteen cases o. contagious
diseases amongst them.
The consul says that he can do moth
ing towards relief and fears trouble
because the negroes are starving. The
department has tried every way to
afford relief to the negroes, bur it is
wellnigh powerless, and it ic prob
able if the unfortunate negroes are to
be saved from starvation, private aid
must he extended to them immediate
". The state department has no
finds which can be applied to nam
tain destitute Americans other than
seamen in foreign countries. The con-
sui at Peidras NegraS, however, has
been told to render any assistance
which he can properly extend and re-
port ally serious developments. The
American minister at the City of Mex
leo has been instructed to inquire into
the treatment of the colonists.

terest in the welfare of the queen.
From the ranks of the Pommer-
anians the queens guard, which Is al
ways near her, is chosen. This guard
is commanded by an officer Of the regi-
ment, and lie is held responsible for
the safety of the royal lady. The
guard has quarters near the Imperial
palace, and is on an equal footing with
the Garde du Corps, which looks out
for the safety of the emperor.
In all the great wars that Germany
has had in the last century and half,
the Pommeranians have taken a prom
inent part. There is nothing feminine
about the fighting abilities of the regi-
ment, Notwithstanding that rs colonel
Is a woman. 1t was regarded as the
best regiment of all the German forces
in the Franco Iussian war, and the
old Emperor William, in the heat Of
battle, often called out, where are
the hen-Friedbergers?"
The Pommeranians has it's own band,
the musicians being mounted upon fine
horses. 1t is the ambition of the little
Princess Victoria Louise, the only
daughter Of the empress, TO be col
onel Of regiment. She regards her
mother as the finest soldier in the land
when the empress Is gowned in her
uniform.

1t is not generally known tina the
empress Of Gerpaay is a full-fedged
colonel Of one Of the finest regiments
In the vast army of the empire. The
advent Of the new woman has nothing
TO do with the military prominence Of
this lady. The dead and gone German
queens were colonels before the new
woman was ever thought Of. The
dowager empress is also colonel, and
50 are number Of other women Of
the royal house of Germany. OF course
their military standing is largely nom
