WASHINGTON, May 26.-The event
Of yesterday I'm the war situation was
the issuance Of "A proclamation by the
president calling for $4,000 more volun-
teers. IL added new and stirring
phase 10 the lethargic conditions which
have prevailed OF late and came with
almost startling unexpectedness even to
many Of the high officers Of the army.
The proclamation means not only the
assembling Of q large force of troops
but also the appointment of number
OF major geperals, brigadier generals
colonels, majors and stam and field Of
ncers for the organization of this addi-
tional force OF $4,000 men into regi-
ments. brlgades. divisions and corps.
The reasons leading up to the call
naturally We're sources Of much con-
lecture. as Il was at first felt that the
possibility OF foreign complications was
a factor In bringing about this new
move II speedily developed, however
that the call was not due to any latent
or serious emergency, but was rather
IN the line OF getting together large
ed and 10 constitute a sort Of second re-
serve tosbe drawn upon later when the
campaigns are fully under way. Secre-
tary Alger stated that the determina-
tlon to issue the call had not been
reached until late Tuesday. The merits
of Il have been canvassed more or less
for some weeks. but it was not until
few hours before the call itself appear
ed that the move was finally decided
upon.
Coming thus unexpectedly, the war
department had made no preparations
for executing the call. and II VIII be
some days before the details are work
ed out as 10 the quotas from each state,
the calls 10 the respective governors OF
states, tho mastering points and the
general points OF concentration. All
that IS settled thus far IS that the en-
listments are to be thrown open much
as they were ant the outbreak of the
civil war; and are not 20 be restricted
TO the militia and national guard or

The organization and provision OF this

ally speaking however the $4,000 men

ments. With three regiments 10 a bri-
gade which Is the present basis of or

In turn, eight divisions OF three bri-
gades each Will be formed. and out Of
the eight divisions the entire force Will
be divided into three army corps. This
general division OF course IS tentative.
but II shows the general formation of
this large body OF volunteers.
The new force will require, either by
appointment or by officers already ap-
pointed, three major generals and about
"a brigadter generals. The law author
lies the president TO appoint one major
general for each army corps and one
brigadier general for each brigade. Brig
adler generals are also assigned 10
command divisions when the organiza-
ton advances 10 that stage. The colo
nels. lieutenant colonels. majors. cap
tains and heutenants are appointed by
the governors of the various states as
the law provides that "all reglmental
and company officers shall he appointed
