The Volunteer Army,

Washington. May 27.-The work Of
mastering the volunteers into the SER
vice of the United States under the
presidents first call for troops is prac-
tically completed. Adjutant General
Corbn announced last night that the
number Of volunteers so far reported
mustered was $4,000, and that enough
were prepared for muster to swell the
number to between $4,000 and 1872, OOO
1t is not expected by the war depart
ment officials that quite the full num-
Der called for will be mustered into the
army, as nearly all Of the states are
short from 25 to 100 men of the num-
Der called for by their quota. Iowa is
still short about a thousand men of its
quota and two or three of the southern
states have not completed their muster.
but the small gap remaining will be
filled in day or two.

The First Supplies of Fresh Meat Reach

Chl,kamauga Park, May 27.-Includ-
ing yesterdays arrivals there are now
$4,000 men encamped at the park. The
Ninth New York. Colonel G. James
Greene commanding, arrived early yes
terday morning. There are 1,O1O men
in the command. This regiment was
organized n 1900. and has preserved its
organization intact. The Second Ken
lucky regiment reached the park at
7:20. This command numbers 1,030 men,
and Is commanded by Colonel E. H.
Gather.
The various commands were served
with supplies Of fresh meat yesterday
for the first time since the arrival Of
the volunteers at the park, and ar
rangements have been made by the
commissary department to supply fresh
meats regularly. Sixty carloads Of ra-
tons arrived yesterday from Chicago
and northern cities.
The reports of disaffection among the
Missouri troops arises from dissatis-
faction growing out of an inadequate
water supply, but this will be remedied,
as the completion of pipe lines will af-
ford abundance of water to the COM
mands. The troops also complain OF
insufficient equipment, having received
no uniforms or arms from the govern
ment since being mustered into the
federal service.
