AS stated exclusively in The Call sew
eral days ago, the programme now Is for
the First New York to do garrison duty
at Honolulu. This has been definitely
decided upon by General Merriam. Yes

ably the last Of this month, and that it
would do garrison duty there. The rcgi-
ment is to superintend the building CT

material is to be sent from here for that
purpose. Colonel Stacpole said that this
was official but he added that, as he up-
derstood it, the regiment was to have
chance to go to the Philippines, if after
they were sent to Honolulu 1t was found
necessary to have more troops go to Ma
