though one regiment left San Antonio yes
terday and another is scheduled 10 get "a

Twelfth Provisional Division as nearly in
tact as possible. The First Minnesota In
fantry is To be ordered here from Llano

the division at Camp Wilson was having
so many units removed from il TO be sent
back home, that it was fast losing all re
semblance Of division.
The same condition exists to 4 great ex-
tent, along the border, but there are sew

contain more regiments than others. Ii j.

1t Is probable that the First Minnesota
will occupy the campsite vacated by the
First Wisconsin Infantry which entrained
for Fort Sheridan w.. Yesterday The
Wisconsin Infantry brigade j. "shr" two
regiments while other brigade> have lost
but one. The Seventh Illinois Infantry
which is due to leave for Fort Sheridan to
be mustered out of Federal service tomor-
row, will leave the second brigade with two
regiments. The First Alabama Cavalry,
which arrived here December II, from its
State mobilization camp, occupies the
campsite left vacant by the Third Wiscon-
sin Infantry. The latter was sent nome
TO be mustered out of service under the
orders Of the War Department Of Novcm-
ber 16.
The Minnesota regiment will not move,
however, until most of the other units or
dered home by the War Department De-
cembcr Is have reached their destinations
or are at least well under way. The prin-
cipal reason for the delay, il was declared
is on account of the scarcity of railroad
rolling stock. All of the available tourist
sleeprs and cars are being used in the
work Of getting the 10000 guardsmen in
cluded i'm the order TO their home States
as quickly as possible.
According to the present tentative
schedule for the transportation of these
troops, the last unit will not ct away much
before January IL. Inasmuch as desina
tons for all these organizations have not
been arranged for yet, it may be possible
that some of them will entrain later than
is at present expected In this event, un-
less special provision is made the middle
of January.
