The Conditonof the Negro Colonlsts from Ala
 bama and Georgia in Mexico,

Washington. Aug. 1.-The condition of the distressed negro colonists from Geor- gia and Alabama who deserted Taihua- lilo colony in Mexico is more deplorable than at first supposed. Consul Sparks at Piedras Negras telegraphs the state department that while "a tions are being furnished 800 colonsts who have reached Eagle Pass, Tex, they are practically naked. The other 300, who have not yet crossed to the United States, have little to eat. No subscription to furnish these colonists with food and clothing and transport them to their homes has been started, and the state department has no funds for the purpose. Many are ill, but are receiving medical attention from Assistant Surgeon Teweyck of the army. It is not known how the colonists will be cared for unless subscriptions are started for their relief such as was done in this country for the starving Russian peasants,
