WASHINGTON , My' ( Spcclal Tclp *
gram. ) Eastern newspapers this morning
stated that Governor Hofcomb had received
telegraphic Instructions that ono regiment
of Nebraska. Infantry ould be transferred
to the Pacific coast for operation In thci"-
Philippines. Inquiry nt the adjutant gen- i '
eral's . , office falls lo .confirm this disposition
of . Nebraska's troops. On the contrary , a
telegram went to the governor asking how
coon . a regiment of Infantry could bo dc-
pended upon to move to Ihe Pacific coast ,
since . which wire nothing has been heard
from Holcomb up to G o'clock.
. . There . Is a deep-rooted belief that the
Nebraska troops arc not tn condition to | I
move to the front because of a lack of vital I
essentials for an army of invasion , and
the governor , knowing this , Is withholding
his reply with the hopes that the demand
may bo so great for troops that regiments
may be sent to the front illy prepared for
WBi' , but depending on the general government -
men1 to provide them with equipments
while In the ncld. Unless there should be
a change In the program one regiment ,
probably the Third Nebraska , will move to
the Pacific coast for service In the Philippines
pine , but as to the destination of a fourth
regiment there Is nothing definitely known
SO far as the adjutant general's office Is
concerned. But so rapid have been the
changes lately that Chtckamauga may be
decided ' upon , or , as originally planned , the
I cglment may be ordered to rendezvous at
Omaha.
Senator Allison stated tonight that he
lad nnally succeeded In getting the house

A strong effort Is making to have Lleu-
cnant J. J. Stotsenberg , mustering officer
n detail with the National Guard at Ltu-
oln , appointed senior major of volunteers ,
n view , as It Is presumed here , that Colonel
ilschoff may have failed to pass the phys-
col examination. Congressman Stark , on
equest of Governor Holcomb , has been nc-
Ivcly Interested In having Stotsenberg
made ranking major nnd the whole ques-
Ion now rests with the secretory of war ,
with a favorable recommendation from
hose below , his army record being such
as to warrant this course.
