WASHINGTON, July THE President
made it known to senators and representa-
tives who called on him to-day that he con-
sidered it unwise for Congress to adjourn
before the bill to raise % 900 colored troops
was passed. He considered it absolutely in
dispensable that this bill should be enacted
into law Immediately. Chairman Hull, of
the military affairs committee, was in con-
ference with him to-day over that legisla-
ton, and stated afterward that he believed
the bill would be passed. 1t was recently
recommended by the secretary of war, who
stated that these troops were specially
adapted to the Cuban climate and necessary
to the success of the war.
