Find Suitable Stations for
IT, Negro Regiments.
Special to The Journal.

Washington, Aug. 24.-The most vex-
atious problem now confronting the war
department is the disposition of the
negro troops Of the regular army. The
killing of a white citizen at Browns
vile by colored soldiers has brought
about crisis which has been making
for some time. No community in any
section of the country wants the negro
troops.
When they were stationed at Fort
Leavenworth. Kansas, at the fort in
Des Moines, Iowa, and in other sections
of the north and east there were vigor-
GUS protests. When the negroes were
sent south there were strong protests,
and finally the war department. decided
that the solution of the question was to
send them to the Philippines. =
This decision created such violent op.
! position on the part of the Filipinos
that Secretary Taft was forced to issue
an order directing that no more negro
troops be sent to the Philippines ex.
cept for service in the Island Of Min.
danao to fight the black Moros.
The war department Is in predica
ment. Congr,Js directed that four ne
gro. reg iments be enlisted ana these
regiments have been organized since the
latter part of the civil war.
