secretary Alger Gives the Destination ol
tho Volunteer Troops.
Washington. May s-In answer to re-
peated requests from all sections OF the
country for information as to where the
various organizations OF state troops
which are being mustered into the
United States service are to be sent.
Secretary Alger to-day furnished the
associated press the following. showing
the destination of the volunteer troops.
The list is subject to correction. 1t will
be noticed that generally speaking these
points are to receive the great volume
of troops. 1t appears that the purpose
or the department in making the as
signments was to divide the volunteer
forces in such a way as to be available
Tor three distinct purposes. The first
regiments raised in each state mustered
and found ready for service are to be
sent to Chickamauga to be licked into
shape" and thence sent TO Tampa and
other gulf ports. including Mobile, New
Orleans and Galveston, preparatory to
embarking for Cuba. The second d.
vision OF regiments goes to Washington
where they are TO form a grand re-
serve ready to reinforce the Cuban army
at any moment, to man the coast de-
fenses or for other purposes. The third
division is to remain for the present in
the states in which the orga nizations
are mustered. subject to call for duty
in the Philippines or for general re-
serve purposes. Possibly they may
never be called upon to leave their ma
tive states. The official list is as fol-
