CHATTANOOGA, May 24.-Minne-
sofa will play a star part In camp to-
morrow. Following the review of the
First division of the First corps. under
Gen. Wilson, on Monday the Third di-
vision of the same corps, under Col.
Van DuZee, will hold the field tomorrow
and will march in review before the
Minnesota commander. These reviews
are to be a regular feature of camp
life, and the other divisions will be
given field reviews as soon as they are
ready for so important a maneuver.
While the Minnesota and some Of the
older regiments are ready for any
thing that may occur. the same is not
true of all the troops in camp.
A visit to the various regiments at
Chattanooga would convince the i'm
patient advocates Of immediate inva-
sion" that the volunteer army is not
near ready to go to war. Probably
one-fifth of the volunteers that have
arrived have no uniforms. All reg1-
ments but one are partially uniformed.
The exception Is the Twenty-first Kan
sas, which arrived last night, and
marched to camp this morning. All of
it's men and officers were in citizens
clothes Even their colonel was in
civilian attire. Capt. Mccarthy, as
sistant quartermaster, said today that
the ununiformed men here could be
equipped with uniforms in ten days.
TIME NEEDED.
In speaking of the time necessary to
make them soldiers in fact, as well as
in uniform, Capt. Richards, chief aide
de-camp on Gen. Brooke's staff, said
today:
cat least six months. But do not
believe they will stay here that long.
They will leave for the front in detach-
ments as the emergencies arise. NO
| one can say how long the encamp-
ment, as a whole will last. Three
months, however, is guess that might
| not be far wrong"
The time allotted to practical instruc-
ton will be divided among the various
exercises at the discretion of brigade
or regimental commanders, having due
regard to the opinion that short, brisk,
spirited drills give the best results.
| Col. Monfort and Col. Hartley, Gov.
Coughs representatives, moved out to
camp today and took up quarters with
| the men in the field.
