NEGROES FOR THE PHILIPPINES.
President Way Consider sending
Them TO Fight the Insurgents.


WASHINGTON. April pa PROPOSE
tion to utilize negro troops to a large ex-
tent in further military operations in the
Philippines is attracting much attention,
and is believed will be considered by the
President in the near future. Such n
proposition IS urged on the ground that
racial differences may be utilized TO
defeat the insurgents and defend the
newly-acquired possessions in the East.
One-third Of the population OF the Philip
pines Is made mp OF negroes Of the same
race as those IN IL United states, and
while not numerous about Manila, they
comprise nearly the entire population OF
some Of the islands The advocates Of
the scheme believe that in a short time
there would be an assimilation between
the negroes Of the Philippines and their
kindred from the United States. and
there would follow for the colored people
opportunities TO get homes and settle
ments i'm that country
PRESENT PROGRAMME TO BE AD-
HERED TO.
A Cabinet officer said this afternoon
that the Cabinet has at no time dis
cussed the subject of the future dsposi
ton Of the Philippines.
1T is the present that we are thinking
Of" he said, "and there is not the slight
est intention Of deviating from the pres
ent programme. believe it Is the unani-
nous feeling Of the Cabinet that nothing
shall be decided as TO the future status
of the islands until we have placed them
satisfactorily under the control Of the
United States"
He said that every dollar and every
man necessary to bring the islands under
the dominion of this country would be
used. When the insurgents have recog-
nized the power of the United States the
question Of their future status will be
taken up and discussed.
