The Abused Mexicans TrampIns Home

A special from Trinidad says:
"Four Of the Mexicans who were fright.
ened out Of Rocky Ford Thursday night
arrived in Trinidad this morning. They
are without money and are tramping
their way home to Las Vegas. The men
are intelligent and are very bitter over
their reception. They say that the pub
lisbed reports Of their treatment are cor.
rect and that the statement that they of
fercd TO work for lower wages than were
being paid the white men is false aud that
they were promised sl.5O day. A party
OF $50 OF their number were 10 have left
Las Vegas today. but the trouble has
prevented them from starting and no
move will be made until the trouble is
settled and the men know they will not
be harmed"
IL this disgraceful affair shall result in
keeping away labor which is necessary to
prevent damage to the beet crop, our far.
mers and business men will suffer the
loss OF many thousands of dollars. Say
ing nothing of inhumanity, mob violence
don't pay.

department had nothing this morning
Of interest touching the Chinese situa-
ton.
The Imperial edict promulgated yes
terday by Viceroy TAX at Canton. has
left disagreeable impression here.
Despite the Chinese minister's view to
the contrary, this edict is looked upon
as suspiciously like preliminary to a
formal declaration of war, and anly one
step toward securing time to move Chi
nese forces into better position for
defense against the internationals.
The notice that came to the state de-
partment that Corea is free from the
Boxer agitation was well received. for
II is believed that Russia will thus be
enabled to spare many more troops
from her Siberian army. for use In the

LONDON. July 2I.--All the powers
appear TO have received the Identical
Chinese appeal for mediation but In
the absence Of definite news regarding
the fate OF the ministers. and OF any
reliable indications Of the real origin Of
the appeal. Il seems that Lord Sails
bury considered It was not even neces-
sary 20 publish the fact that the ap.
peal had been received. or 10 do any
thing beyond formally acknowledging
II. with perhaps an intimation that
nothing could be done until news from
Pekln had arrived.
II Il could be asccrlained beyond a
doubt that the reports of the massacre
AZ PekIn We're unfounded. and there Is
disposition here 10 believe that the
ministers may. after al. be held as
hostages. Lord salisbury's policy would
probably incline more toward the con-
ciliation attributed 10 Washington than
10 the revenge attributed TO Berlin.
But while there Is no cessation of the
deluge Of rumors. Il Is beginning TO
be- believed at Shanghai. Canton and
other points that the yiccroys are
rs completely In the dark as TO affairs
in Pekln as the Europeans themselves.
Meanwhile the doings of Ii Hung
Chang are regarded with ever increas-
Ing suspicion. while the situation In
the southern provinces daily grows
worse With the report that the allies
win begin 10 advance on Pekin In a
fortnight. and In view Of Admiral sey-
