Volunteers VIII Await MASTERING I'm
of the $4,000.

WASHINGTON, ID. c.. May 27-spe-
cial)-The Virginia troops will probably
remain at Camp Lee for some weeks to
come. Secretary AIger said TO a repre-
sentative OF the press tonight that no
troops would be ordered from State rem
devious to general mobilization poInts
until the 1900 called for by the President
day before yesterday had been mustered
into service.
He said there were various reasons for
this decision. One of them was that the
troops now rendezvoused in State camps
were much better Off in every way, in
point of health and comfort, than If they
were at Tampa, Chickamauga, or Falls
Church.
General Algsr said the 1900 men called
Tor would be mustered in as soon as pos
sible. When this was done the entire
army would move.
