RECRUITS ARE BEING
VERY SLOWLY RECEIVED

BOSTON, Aug. 2s.-At the Hanover
street recruiting station less than a dozen
men presented themselves to Major Foote
for enlistment in the Forty-sixth. The
new regiment was assigned by Secretary
Root to be recruited in New England for
service in the Philippines, and only two
men were accepted. One of them served
in the Eighth Massachusetts during the
war with Spain. For a usual day OF re-
crlIiting at Hanover street, this is ex-
ceptionally poor, and it shows that the
beginning of recruiting for the new regi-
day Yesterday is not bringing out any
unusual number of applicants. There will
probably not be any difficulty in filing
