disposition yf the negro troops of
the tegular army. The killing or a

by the colored soldiers of the Twen

a crisis which has been developing
for some time.
No community In «n> auction of

When they Wares talloned at Fort
When they were stationed at Fort
in l>es Moines, la., and In oilier
sections of tlie north, um| east there
were vlgoious protests. When the
negroes were aeut south there were
strong protests and finally the de
partment derided that the solution
of the question was to Head them to
i he Philippines. This decision ere
ated such violent opposition on the
purt of the Filipinos that Secretary

directing that no more negro troops
bo sent to tlie Philippines except foi

four negro regiments be enlisted,
and these regimentH have been or

moved from one post to another then
Is trouble for the department until
tho situation grows so had that at
its next sessions congress will le
asked to pass legislation repealing
the law authorizing the enlistment
of negro troops or to adopt a tesr
lutlon directing that the colored
troops be assigned to posts regard

It Is stated that it cannot longer
be denied that the sentiment, against

of the first problems to be solv'd
Is that relating to the negro soldier.

been hought hy Frederick L. Wager
of WaHhlngton. While exploring the
baBement yesterday afternoon he dls
covered the compartment and Immed
iately opened It. The body Ih thought
to he that of an Indlnu. He was a
giant and the body shows that hIh
height was almost seven feet.
The age of the body Ih a matter of
conjecture as the house was con
structed In 1732, while the walla
were hunt In icr.o.
The Carlisle house has always been
an important factor In the history of
Alexandria, and were the true story
of the body known It would no doubt
disclose some startling secrets.
Mr. Hitnpson has leased the house
and Is directing Its remodeling and
restoration. He kept a close watch
over his remarkable find last night
He has not yet decided whnt he will
do with the body.
The Carlisle house was one of the
most noted hostelrtes In the United
