THE PHILIPPINES
TROUBLE WITH NATIVE SOLDIERS. (By Telegraph—Press Assn.—Copyright.) (Australian and N.Z. Cable Association.) MANILA, July 10. Two battalions of Philippine scouts and native soldiers in the United States army at Fort McKinley, six miles from Manila, refused duty following a raid by the provost guard on a clandestine meeting of scouts, in which 23 were arrested. The scouts were disaffected over their rates of pay. The situation at one stage was serious, as it was feared that the disaffection was spreading. Seven thousand scouts and white troops were held under arms, and the natives disarmed, before the outbreak, which is believed to have been inspired by Bolshevist emissaries, was controlled.
