THE CAPITOL.

New York, Aug. 1S.-Tbe National
Association for the Advance of the
Colored People, through its board OF
directors. today made public a letter
they have sent to President Wilson
the letter protests against the policy
Of segregating colored employees in the
departments at Washington. The
letter expresses the opinion that what
it terms this discrimination against
negroes will result in the refusal of
members of the race to enter the
government servic.
The letter concludes as follows:
"For the lowly of all classes you
have lifted up your voice and not in
vain. Shall 100000 of our citizens
say that their civil liberties and rights
are not safe in your hands? To ask
the question is to answer it. They de-
sire a new freedom too. Mr.. Pres
ident, yet they include in that term
nothing else than the rights guaran-
teed them by the constitution under
which they believe they should be
protected from persecution based up !
on a physical quality with which di-
vine providence has endowed them
They ask therefore that you, born
Of great section which prides itself

and the weak, prevent a gross in

less because it was actuated in some
quarters by a genuine desire to aid

an exchange of notes had taken place.
Two notes from Mexico have been
sent to Washington. The first was
a reply to that delivered by Mr.. Lind.
This note included the demand for
recognition of Mexico.
The second note was sent direct to
Washington and demanded that re-
ply to the previous note be made be-

MED that there was ANY foundation
whatever" for the statement that Hu-

Dispatches from John Lind inform
ed the president and Secretary Bryan
as well that he had been in confer

characterized the reception and con
ference as cordial"
Last nights dispatches attributing
the announcement of the ultimatum
by Huerta to Minister Urrutia of tie
department of the interior, stirred
Official circles deeply. There SEEM
ed division of opinion as to whether
Minister Urrutia's announcement was
unauthorized. Some were strongly
inclined to accept the explanation as
given by Foreign Min'ster Gamboa.
The cablegram from O'Shauhennes
sy to Bryan, dated last night and re
Ceiyed this morning, said:
Correspondent has sent cables
stating that Fiuerta had demanded

WASHINGTON Was Surprised

Press dispatches from Mexico City
last night carried the following story
The United States government has
.been given until midnight tonight by
President Huerta to re"""lize Mex
leo it is officially stated.
The government Is not specific in
the public announcement as to what
course then will be pursued, but 1t Is
understood that it means the severing
of all relations between the two coun-
tries.
Provisional President Huerta, re-
plying Monday to President Wilson's
note which was recently delivered to
the Mexican government through Ex-
Gov. John Lind, refuses mediation
in the Mexican situation or any sim
liar suggestion made by a foreign
government. Mr.. Lind has forward
ed Gen. Huerta's answer to Washing
ton and is awaiting a reply.
President Huerta in his reply told
the United States that he would toler-
ate no interference, even though that
interference might be characterized
as friendly mediation.
The character of the reply of Wash
ington to President Huerta's note will
determine the next action in the in.
ternational drama.
All those connected with the Am
erican embassy refused to admit the
receipt of the note and that it had
been sent was not admitted offic-
tally by the Mexican government. At |
the embassy there was an evident de- |
sire to appear optimistic and one |
was led to believe that Mr.. Lind still |
hoped for continuation of the ne
gotiations. Those familiar with the
workings of the Mexican administra-
tion expressed doubt as to tho gov
ernment again opening the subject
for discussion.
Senator Urrutia, minister of the in
terror, who on previous occasions has
been the spokesman for the admins
tration. was the person chosen to
make the announcement.
Senior Urrutia refused to give out
the text Of the correspondence be-
tween Mr.. Lind and the Mexican gov
