NO POST WANTS
NEGRO TROOPS.
War Department Does Not
Know How to Dispose of
The Colored Regiments.
CONGRESS- MAY HE ASKED AT
NEXT SESSION TO SOLVE
THE PROBLEM.
WASHINGTON, Aug. n5

WASHINGTON, Aug. 25.-The
most vexatious problem now con
fronting the war department is the
disposition OF the negro troops OF
the regular army. The killing of "A
white citizen at Brownsville. Texas.

ty-fifth infantry has brought about
crisis which has been developing
for some time.

the country wants the negro troops.

When they We're stationed at Fort
in Des Molnes, la. and i'm other
sections OF the north. and east there
were vigorous protests. When the
negroes were sent south there were
strong protests and finally the de
partment decided that the solution
OF the question was TO send them TO
the Philippines This decision ere
ated such violent opposition 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 except for
service In the island of Mindanao to
light the black Moros. The only ne
gro troops that can be sent TO Min
danao is 10 relieve those now there.
The war department is in pre-
dicament. Congress directed thar

civil war. Whenever these troops are
