TO HURRY TO PHILIPPINES.
School Teachers to Go to the Islands
 as Fast as Possible.

School Teachers to Go to the Islands
 as Fast as Possible.
 President fare, of the Philippine commission, has cabled the war de- pertinent that, in order to establish the schools in the Philippines by fall, as recommended by his report, special facilities for transporting the 600 teachers required for this work will be necessary and he has insisted that steps be taken to this end. f
 Teachers all over the country have been taking the civil service exanina- tion to fit them for these places, and the war department has authorized already, upon recommendation of the civil service commission, over 300 teachers to go to Manila upon army transports as rapidly as room can be provided for them. 98
 Col Long, superintendent of the transport service at San Francisco, was asked by the department the oth- CT day how many teachers could be accommodated on the transport Sher- idan, and replied that out of the 1s0 first cabin places 13o already had been taken. This would leave room for only 50 teachers. President Taft was ad- vised of this situation by cable and replied, insisting that extraordinary efforts be made to send a greater num- Der on the Sheridan.
 The result was that Col. Long was directed lift up extra quarters onsthe Sheridan for the, men, who will be given first cabin mealsJ and tnrn5 the hospital iennthe ship into quarters for women.
 Col. Long provided places, the de- partment is advised. for about 260 teachers on the Sheridan.

NO INDIAN TROUBLES.
No Indian Killed and Trouble Is Not
 Feared.


 Feared.
 Denver, Col, June 13.-Reports of troubles with the Indians near Fort Washkie, Wyo, are unfounded. Even the report of the killing of an Indian by a white sheep herder is false. Col onel Jesse M Lee, commandant at Fort Leavenwerth, who was sent by General Merriam two weeks ago to Fort Washable to investigate the al- legged troubles with the Indians, has returned and made his report to Gen. eraI Merriam. Colonel Lee in his re- port asserts that the Indians have made complaint that the agent has not given them sufficient seed grain to plant and thereby raise their crops, but this is found to be simply com plaint and to carry with 1t no indica- tions whatever of hostility. The story of the killing of an Indian by white sheep herder grew out of shooting between two sheep herders, both white, in which neither was hurt.
