THE ALLoTMENTs COMPLETE.

Washington. April 2S.-The secretary
Of war has decided to adhere to the al
lotments already made to the various
states and territories under the presi-
dents call for 125.o00 men for service in

waste of time forSthe officials of tae
different states to endeavor to have their
allotments Increased. In one or two
instances where il was advisable changes
have been made in the character OF the
troops that the states or territories
should furnish, cavalry being substi-
tuted for artillery and infantry for cav
airy or artillery where such change was
found expedient by reason of the char
acter of the state MISREPRESENTATION.
In no case has the allotment of the states
been increased beyond the limit originally
fixed. and such a course Is now i'm
possible unless the president should call
for more troops. or unless some OF the
states should fail to provide their quota.
