WASHINGTON, April 25.-The feature OF
interest at the War Department to-day was
the dispatch to the Governors of the States
and Territories of circulars notifying them
how many men they would be expected to
furnish as volunteers, how they should be
apportioned among the three arms of the
service and where they should rendezvous
in the United States army. A good many
details remain to be arranged in order to
carry out the departments projects for the
mobilization of the volunteers, but these are
rapidly being disposed of. In his circular
TO the Governors, Secretary Alger says 1T
is the wish of the President that the regi-
ments of the National Guard or state militia
stall be used as far as their number will
permit, for the reason that they are armed,
equipped and drilled. Please wire as quickly
as possible what equipments, ammunition,
arms, blankets, tents, etc., you have, and
what additional you will require. Please
also state when troops will be ready for
muster into the United States service" Fol-
