ment today concerning the negro troops
ordered dismissed at Fort Reno:
"As to the order discharging the en-
listed men of three companies of the
Twenty-fifth infantry, issued by the
president, plan was presented to the
secretary of war by number OF per-
sons of standing asking for a rehearing
by the president.
THE secretary telegraphed the presi-
dent the application and delayed the
proceedings of the discharge until the
president could Indicate his wishes.
The secretary was meantime called
out of town, No answer was received
from the president. The secretary on
his return did not feel justified in
further delaying the plan of the order
of discharge, especially in view of the
fact that the secretary then learned
that the president had fully and ex-
haustively considered the argument
against the order of the persons who
now applied for rehearing.
Accordingly, the secretary directed
yesterday (Tuesday) that the proceed
ings for discharge be continued without
delay"

statement:
"A telegram was received from the
president at II o'clock today after the
previous statement was given out at
the war department, in which he de-
clines to suspend the discharge unless
there are new facts of such Importance
as to warrant cabling him.
"He states that the action was taken
after due deliberation and that the
only thing to which he can pay heed
is the presentation of facts showing
the official reports to be in-whole or in
part untrue, or clearly exculpa ting
some individual.
IF any such facts later appear he can
act as he deems advisable but thus
far nothing has been added to warrant
the suspension of the order, and he
directs that it be executed"
Secretary Taft says that immediate
steps will be taken to recruit colored
soldiers to replace the men discharged.
Members of the three companies who
were on a furlough at the time of the
Brownsville affair and three members
who are to be tried by court rt-martial
