New York, July 22.--Uruguay is prac-

Heraid's correspondent at Montoyideo, and
the war is at an end. While the rebels
have not upset the government they have
forced it into u corner from which there
seems to be no escape and the Anal result
undoubtedly will be complete overthrow
OF the existing conditions IN Uruguay.
An armistice between the rebels and the
government was signed few days ago.

Peace negotiations were Immediately Get

The Disappointed Ones In washing

and Talk of Secession.

Washington. July 22.-There Is more
tho colored politicians at present than at
any time since the race emerged from
slavery. A large number OF the Southern
republicans who worked during the last
campaign have been In Washington since
tho ith of March. They have brought their
records with them, showing how they
worked up the Mckinley spirit in the South
and now they went to st. Louis In large
numbers to vote for him, and they have
brought Endorsements from the State ma
chimes. These men have stayed on and
on. receiving nothing and seeing the Of
fees thar they We're DESTROYS OF filling go
ing to white men. They have even seen
places that have always been filled by col
ored men going TO white politicians. Up
to the present time there have been only
five presidential appointments from the
race. Every one of these oolored men Is
now talking his discomfort in Washington,
and he can be heard at any one OF the
half dozen gathering places for the negroes.
More than that. he is sending out letters
TO his friends in the South and West, aud
