On the 10th OF March Colonel Loomis trans
mitted yet another consolidated re q -rt showing
10 enlistments In the regular army from this
District between the list and 10th days of March.
On the LIST OF March, instant, Mayor Wallach
enclosed to the Secretary of War a letter from
Mr. A. p. McKenna. calling atten.ion to the
fact that recruiting agents were here from the
States and were Offering laI &c inducements for
said recruits TO be credited to the quotas of the
States, and not 10 the District Of Columbia;
and asking the Secretary Of War to exercise
his authority and put stop to the business.
This communication was replied to on the
18th inst, by Assistant Adj ant General Town
spGd, il behalf Of the Secretary Of War. Col.
Townsend says: "In reply am directed TO
inform you Of the facts relative thereto RECEIVED
from Capt J. G.. Benton, commanding Wash.
ingtcn Arsenal. About the 25h of February,
1894, two agents Of the State of RTassach usetts
called on Capt. Benton and informed him Of
the existing orders from this Department,
allowing men who enlisted in the re gular SER
vice from this District to select the localities to
which they prefer being creditad and receive
the State and local bountes. They requested
permission to confer with the ordnance men
and ascertain their willingness to be credited
on the quota OF Massachusetts. Permission
was given them by Capt. Benton. BY orders
from this Department. all mon en!isting or re.
enlistirg in the regular army from the District
Of Columbia, or fraN the different armies in the
field, are allowed TO select the State, district,
township, town and ward to which they pre- fer
bring credited. The large State and local boun.
ties at present offered by some OF the northern
States proves great inducement for mon in the
regular army to be credited on their quotas.
The enlisted men at the Washington Arsenal
Were therefore allowed to select. of their own
free will, such localities they preferred
being credited to under the existing orders and
regulations from this Department"
