of the army. In effect this was that the
Fifty-first Iowa, Twentieth Kansas, First
Tennessee, First Washington, and Second
Oregon, United States Volunteer Infan-
try. were relieved from duty in the De-
partment of California, and ordered TO
report without delay to the commanding
general of the United States forces at
Manila, the quartermaster-gener being
instructed to furnish the necessary trans
portation. This would seem to dispose of
the rumor that the Third Virginia was
to be sent TO Manila.
Major Johnson, who has charge of the
mastering out OF the troops. in reply to

troops yet actually mustered out of Ser

which all the regiments now in the SER
