In connection with the sentiment exist
ing In his regiment. an explanation is due
Colonel openhcimer. SEINE time ago i was
announced en- his authority that nearly all
of his men wished to go TO Cuba. 4 few
days later the statement was published
that vote disclosed the fact that only ITO
out OF the entire command desired TO re-
main in the service. This apparent in
consistency happened in this wise: when
Colonel Opcnheimer read in the newspapers
that his regiment was among those ordered
mustered out. he Immediately dispatched
I
tigate the matter. Soon after his arrival
Major Buck wired Colonel Openhemcr to
obtain the individual opinions OF the com
pany commanders OF the regiment regard
! ing the sentiment OF their men. assuring
them that II the answer was satisfactory
the mastering cut order would be revoked
and the command retained in the service.
Colonel 0penhelmer thercupon sent MAJOR
Stuart dcwn the lines for the purpose
named and this popular officer reported
that. according 10 the opinions OF the
company commanders, 20 per cent Of the
soldiers wished to remain in the service.
Colonel OpenhIlmer accordingly replied 10
Major Buck, but. thinking that the per-
oentage named might be a little too high,
he cur II TO 50, and awaited a notification
to the effect that the Second would be re-
tained, That night. however, he reflected
on the matter and decided that. since the
responsibility of the whole thing was TO
be on his shoulders. he would ascertain be
yond the shadow Of doubt Just how the
regime nj stood. He accordingly parallel
his twelve companies at $50 the next
morning and addressed the men briefly,
telling them that he was ambitious. that
he liked the position he held and that he
would like to retain the regiment IN the
service If he could do so console ntiousiy.
He then ASKED that al soldiers who did tot
wish to be mustered out to step three PAGES
to the front One hundred aud fifteen re-
spondcd and Colonel Openheimer seeing
: how the matter stood, dismissed the regl-
ment and immediately wired Major Buck
In Washington, telling him OF the condi-
ton OF affairs and directing him to cease
his efforts and return to Jacksonville Then
began the work q preparing the command
TO be mustered out, and now 1t Is ready
and anxious 10 get back to Texas.
