Records of War Department.


1.-The records of the War Department
show that the soldiers of the District of
Columbia were away in advance of any
others, for by April Is, 1861, the records
show that twenty-one companies of Dis
trct volunteers, together with the field and
staff officers of five battalions, were mus

States"
Speaking of the dangers which menaced
Washington in the earliest period OF the
war Mr.. Keefer said
Few people know that April Is, 1861
two thousand Virginia militia gathered at
Harper's Ferry and took possession of that
Mace and by Mav.1 fully 5000 confederate
troops were massed ready for war at any
moment. So secretly had the confederates
prepared for the seizure of Washington
that the sudden development of their
strength was amazing.
1.-The government became painfully aware
that its call for troops had not been

DEFENDS VOLUNTEERS
PAPER READ BEFORE SURVIVORS,
ASSOCIATION.
Mr.. Joseph I. Keefer Tells What He
Knows About Stories That Have
Been Related.

A paper in defense OF the District OF Co.
iumbia Volunteers of 1851 was read before
recent meeting of the District Survivors
Association by Mr. Joseph 1. Keefer, a
member of the Oldest Inhabitants Assoc
citation. After referring to the claims OF
some soldiers of the civil war who have
made vain endeavors to magnify their i'm
portance." Mr.. Keefer said. in part:
From quite number of sources in the
adjoining states have sprung men who
claimed to be the first who enlisted In the
civil war. but when they are asked the
date of their enlistment. have either to tell
en- untruth by placing the date OF their
entry into the army several days beyond
that upon which the soldiers of the District
of Columbia were mustered in or else ac-
knowledge that they We're not the first

first to be mustered In he says what is not
true, for the men were taken in in punches.
so to speak, and only ninety-six were sworn
in the first day, April 10. 1861. and all these
were men of the District of Columbia. and
they were the very first soldiers of the
war of the rebellion.
1.-THE earliest call of President Lincoln
for troops of any description was for ten
companies of District of Columbia militia.
1t was issued April 8, 1861. One company
was mustered in under this call on April 10
and eight companies on April IL, making a
total of 611 men who were qualified and
who had taken the oath of allegiance. A
good many of those who first appeared were
either too old for service or were physically
disabled and some of them refused to sign
the oath of allegiance
soon after April IL, 1861, another call
was made under the same law for five
additional companies of District militia,
and April Is, 1861, for one additional COM
pany. These were undenably, as the rec
ords must show, the first troops mustered
in at any place who were to take part in
ha ND xt-at For ~ I'm
country. After this move President Lin
coin issued his first proclamation for
troops from the states, April Il, 1861, six
days after the District soldiers had been
mustered in and prepared for general war.

ENERGETIC STEPS BY
MINISTER And CONSUL

WASHINGTON, May 19.-The State De-
partment has been advised by Consul
Gummere, at Tangier, Of the capture by
bandits of Mr.. Perdicaris and Mr.. Marley
and is informed that Mr.. Gummere and the
British minister are acting with energy in
the matter. They have sent a special
carrier to the court TO advise the Sultan's
deputy TO comply with all requests they
make in this matter, and 10 insist that the
terms demanded by Erassoui shall be
granted in order to obtain the release of
the captives.
Except for the difference of sex the Incl
dent reported by Mr.. Gummere compares
in some respect with the case of Miss Ellen
Stone. who was kidnapped by Bulgarian
bandits some time ago. The demand made
on the Sultan by Consul Gummere that he
pay the ransom demanded in this last case,
Is said to be i'm accordance with Oriental
customs. Payment is necessary probably
TO save the lives of the captives. and IL
Is not doubted that the Sultan will find
afterward to capture the
brigands and recover the sum paid over.
Acting Secretary LOOMS was In consulta-
ton with Captain Winslow of the Naviga-
ton Bureau respecting the dispatch of a
United States warshp TO Tangier to back
up the consul's demand. There are a num-
Der of British warships within a few hours

Gummere Is cooperating with the British
minister. there will be no hesitation on
the part OF the British government i'm hur-
rying a British warship TO the scene.
