NO ILL FEELING EXISTS.
Relations of Regulars and Militia
Are Most Cordial

Washington, April 19.-The attention
of Adjutant General Corb;n, of the
army, having been called to certain
publications stating that ill-feeling ex-
listed between the regular army and the
national guard of the several states,
he stated that, so far as he could as
certain or was advised. only the most
cordial relations existed, and every ef-
fort to retain these relations was be-
ing fostered and put forth by officers
in the war department. The war de-
partment, he said, recognizes the fact
that the national guard is largely COM
posed of excellent material, and within
the limitations of the law, every effort
would be made to secure this fine ma
terial for any active service that the
government may have for those troops
outside of the regular army. Numer-
GUS inquiries and applications have
been made for the appointment Of COM
mand officers for volunteers.
1t is quite definitely determined that
the war department win only deal with
the governors of states, and when the
regiments are offered foc muster. these
regiments will be mustered as appoint
ed by the governors.

this afternoon by the 1000 men of the
flying squadron, when a barge bearing
the men, horses and fighting apparatus
of company F. Fifth artillery, left Fort
Monroe for Norfolk, on its way to
Chickamauga. A cheer from the Fort

that Spain now left with the United
