1t is expected that Col. Bobleters
and Col. Van Duzee's details, headed
by Maj. G. S. Whitney and Maj. G. N.
Shafer, will arrive in st. Paul not later
than next Monday and perform a sim
liar service for their regiments.
Each town send ng company will
be permitted to send twenty-five adj

lists in each MinnC sofa company.
Minneapolis will furaisn 125 men for
her five companies in the Thirteenth,
st. Cloud, Saltwater and Red Wing
will contribute twenty-five apiece.
There is strong probability that
camp after the work has been we'll
in hand for some time, although the
Thirteenth will gather temporarily in
Minneapolis, with the exception of the
recruits of the four st. Paul companies.
Gov. Clough yesterday received the
following telegram from Col. Reeve in
forming the governor of the future
movements of Maj. Friedrich's detail,
as follows:
Camp Merritt, San Francisco, June 6, 1898
ID. M. Clough, Governor of the State Of
Minnesota: Please announce through the
papers lHdl, III compliance WITH Instructors
received this day from headquarters, three
officers from this regiment will proceed i'm
mediately to Minnesota to recruit this regi-
ment to the maximum. This will require 800
men.
Two officers will be located in Minneapolis
one of whom will visit Saltwater, Red Wing
and st: Cloud. The third will be stationed
in St. Paul.
1T is absolutely necessary, in case the re-
cruts expect to accompany the regiment to

Recruits at st. Paul should report to St.

BILE.
Reeve. Colonel.
Col: Reeves reference at the close
of his telegram to the assignments
Of recruits to special companies is ap-
parently in error, as the order issued
by the war department last week and
published in The G lobe June 4
specifically states that all recruits must
be raised in the locality where the
company was organized.
GOV Clough is still in the dark as
to the intention of the war depart
ment in raising troops under the sec
ond call, as he has had no advices
from headquarters as yet. In speak
Ing OF the matter yesterday, he said:
II have not the remotest Idea when
the second call will arrive, 1t may come
in two minutes and it may never come"
Should Gov Clough be authorized by
the war department to go ahead and
raise the seven companies or one regi-
ment called for under the second call.
as the case may be, 1t is more than
likely that all the troops, both re-
cru1ts for the present organizations
and the newly-organized volunteer
companies will be assembled at Camp
Ramsey.
However, If Camp Ramsey was de-
clded upon, there Is nothing to indicate
that they would remain there to ex-
coed a few days, as 1t is understood
that an early invasion of Cuba is to
take place, and the Thirteenth will
leave San Francisco about July / for
the Philippine islands, which will nre-
clude the possibility Of the least de-
lay.
The new soldiers will have To ba
equipped and drilled before they can
take part in the campaign, which will
take an additional space Of time
1t is not thought that 1t will require
over two days in each Of the towns
entitled to furnish twenty-five men.
indeed, If 1t takes that long. The men
will be accepted by the recruiting Of
ficer and immepiately sent to Mime
apolis, where they will undergo the
physical examination.
1t will require more time TO secure
the additional men necessary for the
Twelfth and Fourteenth regiments, as
these regiments are scattered over
a half dozen or more towns while in
the Thirteenth regiment nine Of the
companies are concentrated in st. Paul
For the Twelfth regiment Winona
Will furnish fifty men, while the fol-
lowing towns will send twenty-five
each: New Ulm, Faribault, St. James.
