Ter. A special to the Dispatch from Wash
lngton last night says on this subject:
"Under the order the troops selected TO
be mustered out are given thirty and
sixty days furlough, which is so much
nay while at home. This arrangement
may all be changed before the time for
the actual mastering out of the soldiers
EXPIRES.
Inquiry from every authoritative and
available source this evening elected the
- hUt No
Rough Riders have yet been mustered
put of the service OF the United States.
The exception to the general order in IA
yor of the Rough Riders was made be-
cause they had no State rendezvous,
Roosevelt wanted TO get out. and there
was apparently no more fighting to be
done"
