Washington, Sept. 12.-General.
Oliver, acting secretary of war, to-
day isssed an order that will prob
ably cause a commotion in New York
his home state: 1t provides for the
relief Of a number Of regiments that
have been serving in the Philippines
for more than4the full allotted term
of two years and the point of interest
Is from the fact that included in the
returning organizations is Negro
regiment, the Oath Infantry. -. --~-.--1-
With the despatch to the Philip
pines Of the 25th infantry some
months ago, the United States was
left without Negro troops except a
few short term cavalrymen employed
in stables at West Point military aca-
denny. When the proposition was
made about two months ago to re-
turn the Negro troops several strong
protests were made to the depart
ment by congressman and other
prominent, persons representing
communities where 1T was reported
the troops were to be posted. General
Oliver has settled the matter by or
dering these soldiers into his own
state. = 49,.
AS matter Of fact, on February
Is next, according to the terms Of
order the "a infantry Is to sail from
Manila for San Francisco and pro-
ceed by rail to New York, the head
quarters of the band and two battal-
ions to- be selected by the regimental
commander to take station at Madi-
son barracks near Watertown and
the remaining battalion at Fort On
tario near Oswego.

Washington, Sept. 13.-Anticipat-
Ing probable criticism OF the assign
ment of the Gath Negro regiment of
infantry to- Madison barracks and
Fort Ontario New York on their re-
turn from the Philippine Island, the
war department has compiled data
showing the service Of that organi-
zation. Except for two months in
Florida and four months following
the campaign in Cuba in 1898, the
regiment has never been stationed
east OF the Mississippi river.
Officials Of the department say the
four Negro regiments, two cavalry
and two infantry, with but unim-
portant exceptions have had no SER
Vice. east OF the Mississippi river or
north OF Mason and Dixon's line
General oliver, acting secretary
OF war today said the question Of
color did mot enter into the assign
ment and that the 24th had simply
taken Its turn In relieving the 23rd.
The army was the creation Of con-
gress and If people feel they are be-

the remedy he said, lies with con-
gress.
