AMERICANS In NO DANGER
SENTIMENT AT PRESENT NOT

RESIDENTS
DIAz CABINET IN SESSION
NIGHT CONFERENCE, FOLLOWED
BY ANOTHER MEETING,
LASTING ALL DAY

Mexico City, May (Bulletin,--
The city was quiet this morning. An
announcement of the governments
attitude toward the rebel demand for
the retirement OF President. Hiaz is
not forthcoming as vet, although the
cabinet meeting, which lasted until
late into the night was followed by
another today None of those con-
cerned would say that the president
was ready to resign.
The attitude of President Diaz's
ministry makes it appear probable
that an announcement Of the pres'
dents resignation, if such were de
termined on, would be transmitted to
Francisco /. Madero. Jr, the ravou-
ltbonary leader, before being made
public in the capital
Sensational reports regarding
Diazs health were in circulation to.
day, being based on the postponement
of the reception of the Chilean minis
ter, which had been set for today.
These reports are unfounded and it
is practically admitted officially, that
the real reason for the postponement
was the pressure of business in con
nection with the peace negotiations.
The relief felt over the fact that
the holiday passed without disorders,
has given place to new apprehension
regarding the attitude of Washington
Recent dispatches from the American
capital are interpreted to mean thaG
intervention may be considered i'm
perative if the peace negotiations
fail.
Danger of an attack on the capital
by the rebels appears remote. Gen.
eral Huerta, with a force of federals,
has left for Cuernavaca, the capital
of Morelos, with the intention of clear
ing the district of rebels, which he
says will be a task of only few
days. 1t ifs believed the train SER
vice between this city and Cuerna-
vaca will be restored today, though
the rebels are still in numbers along
the line Trains from Laredo are run
ming by way of Tampico. Railway and
telegraphic communication between
San Luis Potosi and Saltillo remain
impossible
There is no truth IN the report
circulated in the United States that
rioting occurred in this city yester-
day.
Americans in this city are not in
danger nor will they be unless inter
vention should provoke anti-American
feeling on the part of the populace.
There is, however, no Indication OF
any such sentiment at the present
time.
Last evening the days festivities
wound up with the usual illumina-
tions, fireworks and band concerts.
The only incident approaching ddsord-
er was due to the holiday exuberance
of the crowds, several hundred men
and boys gathering in the garden OF
the zocolia in the Plaza Mayor, shout
ing and amusing themselves with good
natured bantering of the police, OF
whom a large number were on guard
in the park. When the skylarhng
promised to develop some excitement,
the police rode through the crowds,
dispensing them. A dozen persons who
objected to beng sent home became
obstinate and were taken in charge
by the officers.

DIAz REPLIED UNFAVORABLY Y
AS A RESULT PEACE NEGOTlA'
TIONS WERE SUDDENLY
TERMINATED
READY TO ATTACK JUAREZ
1T WILL NOW BE A WAR TO BIT
TER END BETWEEN REBELS
AND FEDERALs

El Paso, Tex, May 6.-(Bullet1n)--
AT o'clock this afternoon the armls'
tice between the Mexican government
and revolutionists was officially de'
clared off by General Francisco /. Ma
dero, jr., provisional president. General
Madero announced that, while ne
would not consent to renewal OF the
arnistice, he would not attack Juarez
today.
The peace negotiations were SUD
denly terminated on the recelpts py
Senior Braniff, one of the government
representatives, of long message III
cinber from Minister Lmantour, which
contained private information as TO
the attitude of President Diaz, and
which 1t is inferred was that DlaS
would not resign. Senor Branin was
ait the Madero headquarters three
miles from here when it came II
did not reach him for almost an hour.
Immediately after the termination
of the armistice, the federal troops IN
the Juarez garrison occupied the
trenches on the outskirts of the city
while a detachment of federals left the
city on scouting expedition for
eny advancing force of insurrectos.
The revolutionary army under Gen
eral Madero also became active. Cen
oral Blanco and Colonels Gartbaldl
and Villa stationed themselves at the
head of their commands, ready to as
sumo the offensive if the word was
given by their commander-in-chlef'
General Pasqual Orozco was hurriedly
summoned to headquarters to receive
orders from General Madero. A force
of rebels was detailed to build tren-
ches directly opposite the Ell Paso
union station. They entered upon their
work with much zeal.
Intense excitement prevails here as
a result of the collapse of the peace
negotiations. 1t is now believed that
the revolution will develop into a war
to the bitter end between the insur-
rectos and the federals. That Juarez
will be attacked, probably tonight, Is
taken for granted.
The suspension of the truce came
as a distinct surprise, as every lnof
cation pointed to an agreement. judge
Carbajal, the federal peace envoy, as
late as 1880 this morning, declared
he had not received a full answer yet
to the propositions submitted by Ma
dero, through his peace commissions
ers Thursday, He ascribed the delay
To Interruptions of the telegraphic fa-
cilities. and informed Madero to that
effect. and suggested that the armis-
tice. which was to expire at noon, be
extended. Madero at that time said
he would agree to the extension.
At the Madero camp the opinion pre-
vailed up to noon that Judge Carbaial
had received part Of the governments
answer, but not all of it. They were con-
fident that the announcement of the
intention of President Diaz to resign,
would be made before the day was
ovre, and they were joyfully anticipat-
ing it. They were soon disillusione1,
however, as subsequent events show.

ored people. It is we'll known practi-
cally to all colored people that South
ern police possess an inherent tenden-
cy to cruel and barbarous conduct
whenever their minds are directed to
a colored person; they are frequently
Indifferent TO reasonable inferences of
the guilt or innocence of their victim;
they appear to reason thus: You are
colored, therefore you are guilty. The
activity of coloIed lawyers in the Dis
trict of Columbia partially prevents
such unwarranted arrests of colored
people here as are made farther South.
When such a thing is done, and the
colored lawyer is successful in getting
your acquittai before the court, the
policeman who made the unwarranted
arrest is frequently compelled to an
swer before the trial board. Once he
is clear from the trial board he is ever
afterward more careful in the future.
The liberty of the colored people in
any community in this country will be
great in proportion to the unrestrained
activity of colored lawyers in their
midst; and their liberty will be cur
tailed in proportion to the prevention
and suppression of colored lawyers"

A Successful Year at Simpson Memo
rial M E Church

The Rev. w. S. Jackson, pastor of
Simpson Memorial NJ. E. Church,
Sherman and Florida avenues north
west, was reappointed by Bishop w.
F. Anderson, D. D., L. L. D, at the
recent annual conference session held
at Lynchburg, Va, and has entered
upon the third year with earnest zeal,
and with the hearty cooperation of
the members and officers who voted
for his return. The first quarterly
conference was held last Monday
night by the district superintendent,
the Rev. E. S. Williams, D. D., and
the reports submitted showed that in
the conference year just ended that
$I,4o8.27 was raised for all purposes,
last year (Iooo). During the year
there were 10 conversions and 70 ac-
cessionS to the church. The quarterly
conference of last Monday night CON
firmed the previous election of Mr..
w. c. Chase, Jr., as a trustee of the
church, and Mr.. William H. FulfOrd
as superintendent of the Sunday
school; also Mrs. Lizzie Ames as
stewardess. Mr.. VIM. Clements, Mr..
Alexander Hall and Mr.. w. H. Full
ford were elected as delegates to the
great Missionary and Educational
convention to be held in Baltimore,
Md, May 3I-June 4, 1911. The new
pews that were installed in the church
during the year add much to the ap-
pearance of the interior and gives
comfort to the worshipers. The future
seems brighter for greater success for
Christ and humanity.

THE HOWARD.

Owing to the great success of the
Smart Set that has been holding the
boards at the popuar play house this
week, and the great demand for tickets,
the management has arranged to retain
the organization for another week. The
company has, without a doubt, caught
on with the Washington audience, as
overtiowing houses have greeted them
nightly. Justly deserving is the success
OF the show, as it is without a doubt
the greatest colored aggregation in the
country. Mr.. Dudley is too well known
to comment on, and stands at the top
as a real entertainer, his work is clean
cut and original, and he always has
something new to deal out in the laugh
line. Miss Walker comes in at the head
of the list in the feminine roles. She
has voice that is rare, and well knows
how to use it. The minor supporting
contingency is far above the standard,
and Classed as an al1-star cast. The
staging OF the production is elaborate
and beautiful. The chorus being made
up OF the prettiest, brightest and most
talented corps of fascinating show girls
ever seen with any company in Wash
mgton. They are kept busy from the
rise to the fall of the curtain with their
many novel dances, ensembles and
catchy numbers. The singing part of
the program is superb, the voices having
been selected with much care as to har-
mony and sweetness, and as a whole we
can only say that the Smart Set ranks
with the highest-class of Broadway at
fractions. Seats are now on sale for all
next week at the regular prices.

Need of COIOred Lawyers

a field where visionary schemes of
more liberty are Matched, and where
ghosts of imagined liberty are ever on
the trot. 1t is field of endless spec
ulation. Ask the Chinaman how lib
erty should be used; ask the Red Man
of America how liberty should be
used; ask the Filipino; ask the Turk;
ask the Irishman; ask the colored
man; ask the Southern white man
ask any stranger, and note the pecu-
liar answers given by each. It is i'm
possible to write an infallible answer
TO this question, but liberty embraces
this: Each man must remember that
he has a claim to unimpeded activity
with its accompanying benefits or dis
asters, and he must at the same time
recognize the existence of the claims
of other men, that necessarily limit
his own, and remember that he is free
to do what he wills, on condition that
he does not infringe on an equivalent
or like will of any other man. If lib
erty be used in compliance with the
ideas here expressed, you will be safe
from police officers, because you will
never mistake license for liberty.
Many Of our people use license alto
gether, and enormously call it their
liberty. When license is practiced in
stead of liberty, police officers and
trouble await you.
The freedom of the colored people
in many places farther South is a
mockery. This is due not only to the
license of any white with the colored,
but also to the ready inclination and
activity on the part of the police to
brutal and inhuman conduct to the col

ATWOOD NEARS GOAL
DARING AVIATOR ARRIVES AT
FORT PLAIN, N. Y.
Total Is Now 1912 Mies-FIyer Will
Use Pontoon In Flight Over
Hudson River.

CastletOn, New York, Aug. 23.-
Special: With a worlds record for
cross country flight only As miles
away Harry N. Atwood followed his
little jaunt of 81 miles in the early
hours of today He started from FIT.
Plain at 1925 this morning. The avi-
ator brought his big biplane over
looking the placid Hudson river near
this vicinity at 9:13 and made no at
tempt at speed, but seemed content
with sailing leasurely along, enjoying
the atmosphere.
Fort Plain. N. Y, Aug. 23.--Harry
N. Atwood, the aviator who is flying
from st. Louis to New York, landed
here at seven o'clock, having covered
l02 miles for the day. He intended to
make Albany, distance of 1853 miles,
but was delayed in his start by high
winds.
1t was the ninth day of Atwood's
aeroplane flight and he planned to fly
along the 153-mile stretch from Belle
Isle, five miles west of Syracuse, to
Albany. He expected to fly over SYRIA
cuse, Utica, Amsterdam, Schenectady
and the intermediate towns, following
directly over the New York Central
railroad tracks.
At Belle Isle, where he was forced
to land because of darkness, after los
ing his way while flying between
Lyons, y. y, and Auburn, the aviator
was out early putting his bipane in
readiness. He found a strong wind
blowing.
Atwood has now flown 1912 miles
from ST. Louis. Besides breaking all
cross-country flights in America, this
is near approach to the worlds rec
ord of 1854 miles, now held in Europe.
Atwood will have surpassed the
worlds record when he flies along the
Hudson river over Rhinecliff, when he
will have 1,177 miles to his credit.
At Albany Atwood will provide his
biplane with pontoons for use in case
he has to land in the Hudson river or
in the ocean after passing over New
York.
