were, indeed, but postmasters in
the United States are now prohibited
from forwarding such matter."

Washington, d. G., August %
AS a result Of tho recent consultation
between tho President and Secretary
Koot orders wore issued today pro-
viding for tho establishment of an
additional regiment of volunteers, to
be composed of .olorcd recruits.
IIcut. Col. Duvull, now on duty at
the Plattsburg barracks, is to bo
mado colonel Of tho new regiment,
and the fold and regin,ental officers
Will De whito men. The headquar-
tsrs Of tho regiment will bo McPher-
son barracks, Atlanta, and tho work
of recruiting will begin at once. The
regiment is to be organized for duty
in tho Philippines. Comn.nding
Gen. Miles recommended the ostab.
llshmcnt of fivo colorod regiments,
but it was not deemed advisable to
enlist such largo number of color
cd troops at tho present time. 1t is
probable that other colorcd regiments
will DO Org, nizcd if tho demand for
moro troops becomes urgent. Tho
regiment provided for is not included
IN the ten regiments created undor
the recent call Of tho President, but
is an independent organization Gro
"ted in response to tho appeals made
to tho President and tho Secretary
Of War from leading colored men in
the South, backed up by Democratic
LEADERS in Georgia, Florida and Ala.
bama. 1t is understood the new
regimont will be recruited largely in
tho throe States named
Judson Lyons and other promi-
nent colorod men bavo been urging
recognition for colorod troops with
tho greatest persistoncy during the
past two months, and they arc graft
fled ut tho success Of their efforts. In
addition 10 tho desire on the part of
tho colorod troops to display thor
military zeal, it is claimed that the
sending Of colorcl troops to tho
Philippines will havo beneficial Of
feet upon the general situation there.
In the far East tho impression pre-
walls among tho uncnlightcned ma
tivcs that tho negro or brown skinned
races are treated as slaves in tho
United States. That is given as ono
of the reasons why tho Filiplnos arc
so stubbornly resisting American
domination in tho Philippines. 1t
goes Il long way towards an carly set
tlemont of tho Philippine rebellion if
tho natives arc taught by experience
that the negro is cltizon Of the
United States and treated as such in
the organization OF our military os-
tablishmont.
Whether or not this argument had
any effect upon tho President is not
known. He has, however, yielded
to what scomod to be a popular ro-
quest from representative colorod
men, reinforced by prominent white
men, without regard to party, and
the experiment will be watched with
universal interest.
