Goth and list regiments. Then there to be
three other regiments formed; two from the bat
talions Of the Third Brigade and one from the
battalion Of the Fourth Brigade. The force
a whole. II was estimated tonight. will COM
prise 96 non-cOmmissioned officers. los reg-
mental officers, It's cavarymen and 120o6 in
fantry or 12.46S men in all.
The War Department required at least a
minimum of 1916 men. The Guard 1t Will be
observed. Will furnish more than that number.
Several Of the finest regiments of the Guard
were left at home. evidently from prudential
reasons.
The regiments not sent TO the front were the
eth the 22d and the ODD. in Newly and the
74th. in Buffalo Added to these the five
batteries Of artillery and many separate COM
panies.
NETWORK CITY TO BE GUARDED.
Undoubtedly one Of the reasons for this
ervation of some Of the strongest National
Guard regiments and of the batteries Of artillery
Is in order that New-York City may not be
without guard in case OF Spanish attack
The first disposition OF the volunteer reg-
ments which are 10 be formed from the Guard
also discloses plans the part Of the National
authorities TO guard New-York. TWO camps are
- he formed one at Hampstead Plains. on Long
Island, near New-York and the other at Peeks-
the camp at Hampstead Plains. and. owing 10
the ample space there and the limited space on
The State Camp Grounds. Peeksk 1t can be
predicted that al least three-fourths OF the r..
Gao State troops will be concentrated at the
Long Island camp. 1t is presumed that all the
Nev-York volunteer regiments Will be assem-
tled at Hampstead Plains. while the Western
and Eastern New-York regiments Will be con-
Centrated at Peekskill.

which he states the regiments selected TO act as
