A despatch from Washington, says:
—The President's proclamation, issued
on Wednesday calling for 75,01)0 ad-
ditional volunteers, reads in part as
follows:—"Now, therefore, 1, William
McKinley, President of the United
States, by virtue of the power vested)
in me, by the tcnstit:alion and the
laws, and deeming sufficient occasion
to exist, have thought fit to call forth,
and do hereby call forth, volunteers to
the aggregate number of 73,000 in ad-
dition to the volunteers railed forth
by my proclamation of the. 23rd of
April, in the present year; the same
to he apportioned, 328 far as practice
able, among the several Stales and
Territories anti the District of Colum-
bia, according to population, and to
serve for two years, unless sooner dis-
charged. The proportion of each arm
and the details of enlistment and or-
ganization will be made known
tbruu,gh the War Department."
One hundred and twelve thousand
men have now been mustered into the
volunteer army of the United States,
and the official reports shoe that the
greater nuYnber of these are ready to
move to 1he front:. Over two-thirds of
the Status have entirely completed
their musters. The failure of some of
the states, notably four or five in the
South, to furnish the men called for up
to this time is ascribed to a belief..
probably sharedby many of the Na-
tional Guardsmen, who had home ties
and connections which they could not
W ell afford to give up, that plenty of
other persons not so encumbered would
readily be found to take their places.
