woodford at the State Department

Washington, May 9.-The state depart ment was alive with distinguished dplo- matic colors today. General Woodford, our late representative at Madrid, came to the department about Il o'clock and waited the return of Secretary Day from the cabin. | meeting, when the two had half hour together General Woodford undoubtedly reported upon the closing phases of the diplomatic negotiations with Spain, though no statement was given out as to the pur- pose of the call. General Woodford main- tained the secrecy he has shown since he entered the diplomatic service, and while greeting all interviewers courteously, said he must decline to say word while he still remains in the service He is still the United States minister to Spain on leave of absence.

 posts Thus 1t will be noted from study of the concentrating order that six regi- ments and two troops of New York volun- teers are assigned to duty under command of the department of the east, command ing coast defenses and reserves, which probably will result in their employment in New York harbor and along the shores of Long Island sound. Likewise in the case of Pennsylvanias five regiments two bat talions and two troops are assigned to duty in the department of the east which will place them along the shores of the Delaware bay and river as guard, to pro- tect the important shipping interests of that section. tu
 Hoped That All VIII Not Re Needed
 When these are equipped the government will turn its attention to the third-class comprising the last third of 1250O0 volun- teers called for. It Is the sincere hope of the war department that it will not be called upon to fully equip these troops be- fore hostlites are at an end, but the work of preparation is proceeding on the con- trary assumption. This third division will constitute the second reserve to be drawn for endorsements whenever needed and it is possible that the men never will be called upon to leave their own states un- less the plans of the war department mis- carry It may be remarked by the way that out of the first-class will come the troops which will be sent to the Philippine islands.
 The responses so far teceived from the mastering officers continue to be very en- couraging. The following telegram today from Governor Clough to Adjutant Gen. eral Corbin shows the state of feeling in the west:
 ''State Camp. St. Paul, Minn n-Troops all mustered in and believe we have three regiments that are second to none-the Twelfth, Thirteenth and Fourteenth, all anxiously waiting to go to the. front. Please do not overlook Minnesota, the star state."
