NEGRO C0LONISTS

Their Leader, Mr.. yenri, of topeka,
Says Only SOutherners in the
Island Oppose the Scheme.

Topeka Kans., Nov. 29-The Rev. John
T. venri, the Topeka coiored man who is
to take colony of negroes to settle near
Santiago de Cuba. does not believe the
reports regarding the opposition of the
Spanish and native Cubans to his coming
there with his colony.
He. acknowledges that there may be
some opposition III Ciba, but. says that it
all comes from JSpBtherners who have
settled in Havana and other places who
are attempting to stir up public sen niment
there against the negroes of the United
States. Mr.. VenN believes these South
erners are respoAsfbia in a great meas
ure for the repolss regarding the opposi-
ton around Santiago to his colonization
scheme at
II do not wish 10 sas very muchsabout
it," he said, because the more the mat
ter is stirred up the worse Ii will become.
Our enemies are trying to create the i'm
preston down there that we intend 10
march down and take possession of the
land. They need have no fear on that
score. We expect to rent or lease our
land from the Spaniards, or Cubans, or
whoever owns it.'and we will pay good.
fair rental for 1t.
That is, the most of the colony will
lease their lands until they accumulate
enough to purchase them. Part OF the
colonists will have sufficient funds to pur-
chase their farms as soon as we get
there.
II intend to take none with me but the
better class of negroes. those who are
good law abiding citizens | want none
of the other class. Take our colony as q
whole and we will be able to carry on all
the trades and employments. There are
some mechanics and machin;sts in the
number, but the most will be farmers"
Mr. yenri is almost daily in receipt of
letters of inquiry from all parts of the
country asking for information concern

Some of the applicants have already NiS-
tied Cuba and are acquainted with the
conditions there. Nearly all of them are
provided with ready funds and can pur-
chase land outright upon their arrival
Mr. Venri has secured railroad rate
of one cent per mile TO the coast, and Is
now figuring on steamship transporta-
ton. II is probable that the Western ne

Eastern ones from Tampa.
