STATES WILL ALL RESPOND.
NO Changes To Be Made In Allotment of
Troops.

washington, April 2S.-Adjutant Gem
eral Corbin said this afternoon that the
secretary of War has decided to adhere to
the ailotments already made to the
various states and territories under the
Presidents call for 1876, 1000 men for SER
vice in the volunteer army and that it Is
only waste of time for the officials of
the different states to endeavor to have
their allotments increased. He said there
bad been several changes made in the
original plan, due to the necessities of the
case, and that in one or two instances
where it was advisable, changes had been
made in the character of the troops that
the states or territories should furnish,
cavalry being substituted for artillery
and infantry for cavalry or artillery where
such change was found expedient by
reason OF the character of the state mill
tary organizations. General Corbin de-
clared, however, that in no case had the
allotment of the states been increased be-
yond the limit originally fixed and that
such a course was now impossible unless
the President should call for more troops
or unless some of the states should fail to
provide their quota. General Corbin said
he had no knowledge of any purpose on
the part of the executive to call for addi-
tlonal volunteers and that there was no
prospect whatever OF any of the states or
territories failing to respond to the
requls1tion already made. f$

NAVAL MILITIA TO DRILL.

Ths two divisions of the newly organ
lied naval militia will drill Saturday
evening at the arInory from 730 until
nine O'Clock. All members of the
divisions who mean business, who are
willing to go as an organization wherever
they may be ordered should make an
effort to be present on Saturday evening.
Those who will not be willing to go into
active service at the governments de-
maDd will do themselves and the more
serious members of the organization a
service by not attending the drill.
The government will undoubtedly find
an opportunity for the Portland naval
divisions to see active service sometime
in the near future. Men who have been
to sea, fishermen, steamboat men,
machinists and engineers and firemen of
experience are wanted to complete the
complement of the two divisions. No
man who has doubts as to his being
physically qualified need put himself to
any Inconvenience in applying for enlist
ment The Market street door of the
armory will be open at 7.3O, Saturday.
There all applicants and members of the
two divisions must apply for admission to
the armory. No visitors or idle spectators
are desired at Saturdays drill.

LOOKING FOR AMERICAN YACHTS.

Gibraltar, April 2S.-The Spanish tor
pedo boat destroyer Destructor and the
torpedo boats Habana and Barcelona con-
tinue accommodating in the straits of
Gibraltar and the neighboring waters of
the Mediterranean.
1t is alleged that they were seeking an
American yacht, the Fleur de Lis, q war
ship, which it is supposed the United
States has purchased from Italy and also
ships carrying sulphur to America. Some
of the latter have been warned and
changed their course. while it is reported
that the Eleur de Lis has put into Lisbon
for safety. The sudden departure Of the
British cruiser Charybdis yesterday,
caused the greatest excitement. It was
supposed an encounter wac imminent and
that she intended to maintain neutrality
in these waters. A special land guard
was mounted and preparations made to
train the guns. The Charyb dis fred a
single shot to warn possible tresspassers
Tonight the Destroyer stopped several
merchantmen south of Europa Point. An

try to take refuge here some time before

MASSACHUSETTS REGIMENTS.
The Four who Have Been Selected by
Gov wolcott for Volunteers.

Boston, April 2s.-In response to the
written request from the secretary of war
for, troons received yesterday afternoon
Governor Wolcott today issued the neces-
sarv orders for the recruiting of four new
regiments of volunteers and designated
fonr colonels now in the militia as their
commanding officers. Tbs officers chosen
are. Col. Clarke of the second; Col. b.
oan of the ninth; Col. Pew of the eighth
and Col. Woodward of the sixth. The
field staff and line officers Of these reoi-
ments met during the day and evening
and every man offered his services to The
government.
The heavy batteries called for nv tbe
government will be filled from the first
regiment heavy artillery. and an effort is
ment take the entire twelve batteries Of
that command into its service,
If the first heavies are taken. onlv the
fifth regiment, the light batteries. the
cavalry troops and the two corps of cadets
remain without assignments and the
members OF these different organizations
will be asked to volunteer in the new
commands.
This afternoon Lieut.. Il. M, Weaver.
u. S. A., who has been detailed by the
war department to muster the state TROOPS
into the national service reported to the
governor. He was ordered to muster his
men at Springfield, but it is Thought that
the wishes OF the state in this respect will
be agreed to by the war department and
the troops mobillzed at South Framing
ham. 1t Is anticipated that orders for the
eneaInpments of the 2nd, 9th, 8th and 9th
regiments at South Frarningham. or such
points AS may finally be decided upon by
the general government, will not be
issued before Saturday and the earliest
time when the troops will encamp will
probably be on Monday next. Tonight
another board of military men was
formed and will commence it's meetings
tomorrow. This board is named the
ordnance board and is to take rp the sub,
ject of coast defense. The board will con /,
sist OF Lieut.. Col. Thomas K. Edmunds,
1st Cadet; Captain Andrew Robeson, 1st
Cadets; Captain George H. Thompson,
engineer, 1st brigade; Captain Hugh
Bancroft, engineer, End brigade, and
Lieut.. Henry N. SWEET, ordnance officer,
naval brigade.
The eagerness of the militia to yolun
| teer fills the four regiments and three
heavy batteries called for by the govern
ment from tho present active force. This
will be disappointing to the organiza-
tions and associations that have recently
been active in recruiting for a possible
| contingency and will probably discourage
| further work in that line.
| A number of the companies in different
parts of the state of the regiments
selected, held meetings this event ng and
every man volunteered.

thing possible 20 aid Spain.
The decision of the Portuguese today
is undoubtedly in response to the pres.

believed, is to prevent news of the depar-
ture OF the Spanish feet from being
