DENY REPORTS or BdRBfRITF.

WASHINGTON, u. c., July g.
The State Department is I'm receipt OF
a report from Jesse W. Sparks. Consul
at Piedras Niegras, in the colony of
negroes brought from Alabama and Cccr-
gia to Ahualila, Mod'co. 1t appears that
W. III. Ellis. a colored man, under con-
tract with the owners of q large tract
OF land at Ahualila, imported the negroes
to farm the land. Some OF them have
since made their way 10 Piedras Niegras.
and complain OF bad treatment.
Reports have appeared I'm American
newspapers that some of the colonists
who escaped from the farm were pur-
sued by Ellis, and thirty-two were shot
down, while the survivors were captured,
taken back 10 tho colony. and subjected
to harsh punishment. The Consuls in
vestigation has shown the story TO be
almost entirely without foundation.
Forty-three of the colonists did leave
the colony. Twenty OF them returned In
safety Twenty-one men and women. who
insisted on going ahead. have not been
traced. but some OF them have reached
the United States, and it is probable that
they spread reports OF the death OF those

had been sent out from the colony to find

ed the affairs, corroborated this state
ment, and declares that the colonists are
receiving good treatment, although many
Of them have been sick from a change OF

Although some OF the colonists tell stories
of harsh treatment. the Consul is inds-
posed TO credit them. and attributes their
troubles 10 the fact that they are In a
strange country, and do not speak tho
language. The negro manager Ellis, how
