TROOPS TO FILL THE REGIMENTS.

THE PRESIDENT WANTS PRESENT oRGAN1-
CATIONS BROUGHT Up TO THE
MAXIMUM STRENGTH
Washington May 2o-Ahout twenty Governors
OF States and Territories have replied to Secre-
tary Ayers kilograms asking for their views
regarding the filing Of the present volunteer
regiments to their maximum strength before
beginning the formation Of new organizations
Some of these indicate a preference for the re-
cru,ting Of entirely new regiments as under the
frst call leaving the present organization with
the number of men now contained in them
though practically all promise the Government
any amount OF troops that are wanted
1t is the Presidents desire. however, that the
organizations already formed shall be filed TO
their maximum strength as the law provides
and this policy will be carried out in recruiting
under the second call. The apportionment To
the States has been made up but has not yet
been given to the public.
Through urgent representations 10 Secretary
Alger some Of the States permitted under
the first call 70 furnish greater number or
troops than they were legally entitled 10 on the
basis Of population. Consequently. in raising
the $4,000 men under the second call these In
qualities will be remedied far as practi-
cable, with tx result that some Of the States
may not be called on 10 furnish any Of the men
needed This course probably may give rise TO
discomfort in States where the men are anxious
70 serve. but II is regarded as the only fair way
in which TO proceed.
Adjutant- General Corbin said to-day that II
had been definitely decided to use about fifty
thousand Of the volunteers to be raised under
the new call in filing out deficient regiments
already organized under the old call 1t would
take about that number he thought 10 MI each
company up To the maximum limit of JOS men
The remaining % Op would be organized into
regiments of three battalions each and dis
tributed among the States and Territories in
exactly the same proportion under the first
call No cavalry however. would he accepted
and only n limited number Of artillery.
