The herald., 1898-05-10

States service are to be sent, Secretary
Alger today furnished the Associated
Press the following statement, showing
the destination of the volunteer troops.
The list is subject to correction. 1t will be
noticed that, generally speaking, three
points are to receive the greater number of
troops. 1t appears that the purpose Of the
department In making the assignments
was to divide the volunteer forces in such
way as to be available for three distinct
purposes. The first regiments raised in
each State. mustered and found ready for
service are to be sent to Chickamaugua to
be licked into shape" and thence sent to
Tampa and other gulf ports, including
New Orleans and Galveston, preparatory
to embarking for Cuba. The second dlvi-
sion of regiments goes to Washington,
where they are to form a grand reserve,
ready to reinforce the Cuban army at any
moment, to man the coast defenses or for
other purposes. The third division is to
remain for the present in the States in
which their organizations are mustered,
subject to call for duty in the Philippines
or for general reserve purposes. Possibly
they may never be called upon to leave
their native States.
