the Fifteenth would be one of the regi-

the Fifteenth would be one of the regi-
ments detailed to Porto Rico.
1t is expected that the physical ex-
amirations of the regiment will begin
Friday or Saturday. 1t is not ahou2 hit
the men will be ready for it until tn n,
as they have many matters to look
afte:' when they first get to camp.
One Of the things that the officers of
the regiment are worrying about is
g -egmental band. They want as good
a band as any in the Minnesota regi-
merits, and they are anxious to get d
good band leader. The musicians must
be selected from among the enlisted
men.
Capt. Powell, who is taking recruits
for the engineers regiment, closed his
recruiting office yesterday, but it will
be open again this morning.
Capt. Finehout's company from st.
Paul and Capt. Elwin's company from
Minneapolis" said Gov. Clough yester-
day, will proceed to the camp early
tomorrow morning and get it in readi-
ness for the other companies which are
under instructions to report Wednes-
day. There will be no concentration
of troops in st. Paul and a procession
to the camp, as when the other three
regiments were called out. Each COM
pany will get to the camp in it's own
way. There are on hand uniforms,
shoes, ETC., for about two-thirds of the
men. 1 was willing to take charge Of
the QUILTING altogether, but Lieut..
Howard of the regular army has been
appointed temporary quartermaster
and will attend to the complete equip
ment of the regiment. There are no
rifles on hand.
'In respect to camp outfits we are
in good shape. Immediately after the
three other regiments left 1 ordered
tents and complete camp outfits for
two full regiments. All the new men
will go directly into tents and will find
them and blankets and cooking uten-
sis prepared.
81 have heard nothing of a third
call. l don't see how there can be
need for more troops. But if the pres
ident calls for them he will find Min
nesota ready"
