ley calling for 5000 more volunteers
shows that big army is deemed necessary
to bring the war with Spain to a success

ture Of money will be corresponding y

Harrisburg, May 26.-The national
guard being organized under the di-
rection of Governor Hastings will be
utilized to fill Pennsylvania quota of
volunteers in the second call Of Presi-
dent Mckinley for troops. The guard
will consist of nine eight company regi-
ments, three troops Of cavalry and
three batteries of artillery. The colo

Gretna to be mustered into the United
States service This will require some
time, as many of the Pennsylvania
boys who volunteered under the first
call have not yet been armed and
equipped.
