strangers in the country canvassed, and
during period Of competition by State
authorities for the same men. In the
opinion Of the officials OF the War De-
| partment the returns Of regular army EN-
listments will progress as the plate COM
petition ceases. The strength of the reg
ular army today, less recent casualties
estimated at 1900, is 1882.
/ The authorized strength of the volun-
teer army is 216,5OO. or that number,
125,OOO were included in the Presidents
| first call for troops, all ofwhich have been
recruited, mustered and put In the field;
| rs, 900 were included In the second call,
81, 900 Of which have been mustered into
the service; 1900 were to constitute three
special regiments Of cavalry, 10000 were
immunes, and 1850 were engineers.
OF the volunteers under the second call
81, 900 enlisted men have been distributed
among incomplete organizations in the
field, and $1,000 constitute new organlza-
tions. The three special cavalry regi-
ments commanded by Colonies Roosevelt
Torrey and Grigsty, have been recruited
to their full strength, and there are hun
dreds Of applicants for any vacancies that
may occur In them.
Congress authorized the enlistment Of
10000 yellow fever immunes, and Of that
number 9,13s have been mustered into the
service. All Of the ten regiments are COM
plete except the Seventh, Eighth and
Tenth, and they probably are not to be
recruited to their full strength.
or the $500 engineers authorized bv
special act of Congress, 2,649 have been
mustered in. The First regiment contains
SO officers and 1,O9O men; the second, SO OF
fcers and LOO men, and the third, SO off,
GERS and 300 men. 1t is expected that the
Third regiment is to be recruited to its
full strength in few days.
The recruiting, mastering, equipping
and placing In the field, of the present
great army Of almost 100000 men in less
than ninety days-every man having to
undergo strict examination-is regarded
by army experts as wonderful achieve
ment. Officers representing the armies
of European nations have been amazed
at the work accomplished, and frankly
admit thai Europe contains little of sucl
fighting material as is to be found IN
abundance In the United States.
