MOVEMENT NOT GROWING.

Colored Population Of Jamaica Opposes
Annexation to the United States.
KINGSTON, Jamaica, Sept. 2.-The
annexation movement has not pro.
gressed favorably, owing to the oppo-
sition Of the colored element of the
population and the lack of support
from the newspapers. Consequently
the Hon. Samuel Stanton Burke, ia.
maioa's member Of the Barbados con-
ference, is not authorized to propose
annexation as an alternative to the
joint demand Of the West Indies for
fair treatment. Possibly British Gui.
ana, with Barbados, may take the in.
itiative should the conference decide
to ADOPT an ultimatum attitude.
