States Artillery, commanded by Major
Grugan; the five companies of the

start for Manila 1t was said at head
quarters that Tueday or some day early

The Peru and Puebla can accommo-
date about ] 800 troops, and that is
the number that will leave on them.
Their sailing is contingent on infor-
nation from the War Department con-
cerning the whereabouts the Spanish

war vessels whatever having an oppor-
tunity to pick them up on the high
seas.
The steamers Pennsylvania and City

two of the $50 members of the State
Militia have volunteered for service in
the United States army. Two hundred
and seventy-five recruits have been OBJ
tanned, making a total of 367 men who
are willing to answer the summons for
battalion of infantry from Nevada.
Colonel Lord says it is doubtful
whether the required number can be
secured, unless a troop of cavalry is
assigned to the State. The Colonel
scores the militia, and recommends
that when the companies now organ-
lied are ordered to Carson for muster
they be instructed to bring all the ord
rance and quartermaster stores now
in their possession, to be turned over to
the State and condemned. This will
complete the demolition of the militia.
