AS this answer was the first received
by he war department In reply to

the officers suggested will be accepted.
The action of the war department will
not be known, however, for a day or
two.
The officers who will be detailed will
be given twenty-four hours in which
to prepare for the trip. and will likely
report at San Antonio for a three
weeks tot of duty.
Transportation and pay will be pro-
vided by the war department. and It
is thought that this camp of %instruc-
ton will be extremely interesting to
the officers and of great benefit to the
National Guard of this State.
