 New York, Aug. 16-The great
 est activity prevails at Montaul
 Point to put that camp in periec
 condition for the soldiers who hay,
 and will arrive from Cuba, and thu
 interest shown by ali classes of th' , wealthy to provide suitable food anC
 expert medical attendance for the
 stricken soldiers is also noticeable
 The Rough Riders are besieged and
 the effect is rather inclined to act
 inJuriously on them, a great major
 lty of these troopers being SO weak
 and suffering from various ailments
 contracted while exposed in Cuba
 that the persistency of thousands to
 visit and converse with them tends rather to retard than improve their physical condition. The appearance of these western riders shows too plainly what they have endured. With peaked faces and forms shat tered, with rags their only raiment, but with fortitude and patriotism that makes the veterans of other wars pause in their amazement, they bear their sorrow heroically and to all visitors they give the same Tree and hearty greeting. Officers are no better of than privates. Colonel Roosevelt visited the city today to personally make prepara- tions for the future care of his men, and received a tremendous ovation everywhere. Until the men inn prove and are rested up and the sanitary conditions of the camp are perfected to guard against probable contagiop, there is some disposition shown to limit visitors to personal friends and others of the preferred class. An excursion to Montauk is advertised for next Sunday and the number of people to attend IS expected to reach at least a quarter of a million. A representative of the British crown has made a prop osition already to the regiment for the purchase of its beautiful and now famous mascott- the Arizona mountain lion-1,0O0 pounds ster- ling being the price offered, but the disposition of the men is averse to parting with any regimental relic and in this instance say their pet animal must never become alienafed from them even to associating with the mythical and gigantic British lion. The lion is now at Fortress Monroe and will be sent here in a few days. It grows bolder with age and will probably be rendered to President Mckinley on behalf of 2 Arizona when the regiment goes out I of service. I
