NO DISCRIMINATION
IN NAVY AGAINST NEGRO
Only Inferior Glass, How
ever, Apply to Enlist.
ONLY 500 NOW IN SERVICE
Recruiting Officers Instructed Not to
Discriminate On Account
Of Color.

Although the enlisted men in the navy
number $4,000 there are only 500 ne
groes among these, and there is not a
single enlisted negro in the Marine
Corps.
This has given rise to the rumor that
the Navy Department is endeavoring to
eliminate negroes from the navy. The
Administration has denied this rumor.
and even went so far to correct it that
letter was sent to recruiting officers
lnstructing them that there must be no
discrimination on account of color.
Still the number of negroes in the
navy decreases. and officers say the
colored men who present themselves for
enlistment are of such class that they
cannot be admitted. 1t is stated by re-
cruiting officers that the intelligence
and character of the negroes who de-
sire to enter the service is far below
that of the white applicants. Lack of
qualifications, rather than color, is said
to bar the negro.
White and negro sailors do not get on
well together. and many officers believe
it would be in the interest of good dis
cipline to weed out the negroes. The
work of negroes in ordinary capacities
is said to be equal to that of white
men, but is said not to be good enough
to Justify their retention at the sacri-
fee of discipline.

VOLCANOES VICTIMS
SUFFER From HUNGER
Government Of St. Vincent Blamed
for Conditions.

KINGSTON, st. Vincent, Aug. 5.-A
newspaper published here, in a semi
editorial utterance. charges the governor
Of the island for the distressfuI condi-
ton of the refugees who suffered as a
result Of the recent volcanic disturb
ances. II says in part:
Many of the persons who suffered
from the recent eruption of the volcano
Soufriere are in deep distress and want.
The condition of the stricken fami-
lies, who are sick, starving and penni-
less. excites pity. and fires with indig-
nation the minds of those who are aware
that this unfortunate circumstance is the
result of the acts of a governor who
treats with contempt all opinions not in
accordance with his own.
Sixty of the starving families were
sent to an unhealthy spot of Amos Vale
land, without having at their disposal a
foot Of cultivable land, and at a time OF
the year when the prospect OF their OBJ
tanning employment was the faintest. The
result is that many Of these people.
weakened by hunger, have fallen easy
victims of the malaria that fingers in
the stagnant pool near which they have
been lodged.
Nor are these the only batch of refu-
gees thus deprived OF the human com
forts which belong to them out of the
relief funds that were subscribed by a
sympathizing world on their behalf.
Others, though better located, are also
suffering from want of food.
I'm the face of all this misery, a sum
Of sl25,O00 to the credit Of the Soufriere
relief fund was recently RENTED from
this government to England at a cost
OF 81 900 to be invested, it is said, for
the permanent interest OF the colony"

CAMP AND AUXILIARY
TO BE AGAIN At PEACE
Spanish War Veterans Bury Ratchet
Dug Up by Captain Dyer.

At the regular meeting Of the Gen.
Nelson a. Miles Command, Spanish War
Veterans. held in Spanish War Veterans
Hall. 719 Sixth Street northwest, las
evening, the controversy between the
organization and the Mary sherman
Miles Auxiliary was settled and peace
was restored
II is said Capt. L. c. Dyer. the pre-
siding officer OF the Miles Command, OF
fered set OF resolutions calling upon
the organization to sever it's connec-
lions with the auxiliary. These resoIu-
lions. the members say, are the conse-
quence Of the defeat OF Mr. Dyer's wife
for the presidency of the auxiliary, N
which she is said to have been greatly
interested The election was held in
July, and trouble has been brewing be-
tween the command and the auxiliary
ever since.
The members OF the Miles Command,
who aver that they cannot see what
Captain Dyer's personal prejudice has
to do with the severance OF connections
between the two organizations, deter
HAASN 10 DTlDS the matter 10 close
last night Resolutions looking toward
harmonizing any misunderstanding be-
tween the organizations were unani-
mously adopted. and there is good
ground for believing that there will Re
no further descriptions because Of the
personal feelings of anyone connected
with either side. The principles and
regulations Of the Spanish War Vet
Grams will be adhered to, and the matter
set at rest for all time.
Three rousing cheers were sent up by
the 115 or more members OF the Miles
Command when it was announced that
Captain Dyer's resolutions had been
shelVed and the others adopted The
men realized that 1t was a happy solu-
ton OF the question with which they had
been confronted.
1t was decided to send a copy OF the
resolutions to the Mary Sherman Miles
Auxiliary. and that organization will
give the matter full consideration at
its next meeting

STARVING FILIPINOS

The balance left from the Martinique
relief fund collected by popular sub
scription in the United States is now
being used TO succor starving natives IN
the interior provinces of the Philip
pines. In all, $4,000 of this fund was
turned over to Governor Taft, to be ex-
pended under his direction. The money

message: II remit by cable, through
the New York Guarantee Trust Com
pany, $4,000, unused portion of the
Martinique fund, at suggestion OF Pres.-
dent Roosevelt, for individual distribu-
ton at your discretion"
To this, Governor Taft replied: ION

BRIDGE COMPANY HAS
THIRTY DAYS To ANSWER
Secretary Root Hurrying Matters in
Possible Confscation Action.

Before September the Merchants
Bridge Company Of St. Louis must
show cause why the Merchants bridge
across the Mississippi should not be
seized by the Government because OF vi
Citations Of the charter granted to .he
company.
Secretary Root decided yesterday that
only thirty days shall be granted the
company for defense. In case the Gov
eminent confiscates the bridge. there is
some doubt as 70 how much Of the ap-
proaches can be taken by the United
States II IS believed by the law OIL
GERS OF the department that enough Of
the approaches can be seized to make
the use Of the bridge possible.
II the War Department seizes the
bridge. IT is likely that 1t viii remain
idle until Congress convenes In order
that the body which granted the charter
may decide what disposition is 20 Re
made of the alleged violations. The
bridge was erected on condition that II
was not to pass into the control OF the
Eads bridge. the only other bridge
across the Mississippi at st. Louis. The
bridge is now said 10 be IN
der the management OF the Terminal
Association. which also controls The
Eads bridge.
