General lv‘rost attended a conierence
with Governor Coolie and Adjutant-
General Haven yesterday. at the state
capitol, to hear the report of General
Haven'a visit to Washington. and to
consider matters relative to the mili-
tary situation.
it was agreed in Washington that
any opposition from the National
Guard of states to the Hull army re-
organization bill, which mused the tie-
ieat oi the original bill. should be with-
drawn from the new bill, which was
modified to comply with new bill oi the
National Guard oillcers.
General Havens reported that an im.
mediate call for volunteer troops was
considered imminent at Washington.
it is practically settled that all soldiers
called into the service should enlist in
the United States service and not go in
as state troops; but in cases where or-
ganisations enlist as a whole so as to
preserve their intirety. it is expected
that the organization will be motioned
and the oillccrs remain in their several
positions. although remmmissioned in
the United States service.
The supplies and equipments tor the
troops will he lurnisheo by the United
States government. except such as are
necessary immediately upon the call
into service. These will be supplied
.ernporartly by the state and the gov—
ernment will reimburse the state for
the expense.
