ington, Utah to San Francisco and
Idaho Is Divided.

Washington, May 9.-In answer to
repeated requests from all sections OF
the country for information as to where
the various organizations of state
troops which are being mustered into
the United States service are to be sent,
Secretary Alger today furnished the
Associated Press the following state
ment showing the destination of the
volunteer troops.
The list is subject to correction. 1t
will be noticed that generally speak
ing three points are to receive the great
volume of troops. 1t appears that the
purpose of the department in making
the assignments was to divide the vol
unteer forces in such a way as to be
available for three distinct purposes.
The first regiments raised in each state
mustered and found ready for service,
are to be sent to Chickamauga, to be
clicked into shape" and thence sent to
Tampa and other gulf ports, including
Mobile, New Orleans and Galveston,
preparatory for embarking for Cuba
The second division of regiments goes
to Washington, where they are to form
a grand reserve, ready to reinforce the
Cuban army at any moment, to man
the coast defenSes or for other pur-
poses. The third division is to remain
for the present in the states in which
the organizations are mustered, sub
ject to call for duty in the Philippines,
or for general reserve purposes. Pos
sibly they may never be called upon to
leave their native states.
