VOLUNTEERS ASSIGNED.

Washington, May 16.-After going over
the situation with General Miles, Adju-
tant General Corbin and the heads of the
supply department, the secretary of war
has made an order for the assignment
of volunteer troops now being mustered
into the service of the United States and
| designated points where they will as
semble with the least possible delay. This
step was rendered necessary from the
fact that the state authorities are fast
relinquishing control of troops that are
passing over the muster line under the
authority of the general government. 1t
became necessary to assemble these
troops at once in order to meet the prob
lem Of their subsistence, no less than that
of their equipment in the way of arms
clothing, camp and garrison equipage, to
say nothing Of the superioE advantage Of
drill and instruction under trained off,
GERS, as it is the intention that it shall
be in every instance. The officers to or
ganize these troops into brigades will be
determined upon soon and be ordered to
stations accordingly.
The impression that seems to obtain
that any particular corps or camp will
have superior advantage over others in
being sent TO the front, is wholly erro-
neous. The distribution of camps was
made upon the lines of transportation and
supplies. The supply departments will
have depot in each camp which can be
more readily reached than the troops
could at their rendezvous in their several
states
In addition to the camps named troops
will report TO the commanding general Of
the department Of the east, to the amount
of about an army corps. A camp on the
seacoast, with the best shipping facilities.
both by rail and by sea, will be selected.
and as soon as determined. troops as
signed to the department commander will
go into camp there under mis- supervision.
The following order has been issued:
with the approval of the secretary Of
war, the following assignment of troops
IS ordered by the major general com
