Organizing the Volunteers.

WASHINGTON, Sept 26.-Major Gen.
Miles, commanding the army, has COM
pleted his plan for the reorganization
of the volunteer forces into corps, di-
visions and brigades. The plan has
been submitted to the war department.
for approval. The plan contemplates
reorganization of the volunteer force
which has not been ordered mustered
out, and designated as an army of oc-
cnpation for Cuba; provides for the
relief of the army in Porto Rico, and
establishes n reserve to relieve the
troops in the varions islands, which
will be occupied by the United States.
1t is known that the troops of the
9TH corps, now under Ger Lee, will be
designated to 60 to Cuba, and that
troops from the camps at Lexington,
Knoxville and Middletown, will be
selected for Cuban duty 1t is under
stood that Gen. Miles deals only with
organizations such as corps, divisions,
brigades and regiments. The matter
of commanding and staff officers will
be settled after the mastering out of
general and staff officers had been de-
termined.
