W cen bad before the troops were put on

hey were frightful before he arrived
q lere. The ship is said to have been
astily ftted out as a troepship when
# hiRs were so sorely needed to take
hafter's men to Cuba after the Span
ISL sh fleet had been trapped in Santiago
bay, and she has not been improved

# o one but the quarantine officers has
boarded her or will board her until she
as been cleaned and fumigated, so
hat no one besides the officials and the
oldiers themselves ever will have a
hance to see just how bad things were.
The Panther brought log men. of
vhom Is were sick The only death
uring the voyage was that of Private
harles A. Rradden of Company NJ,

as drowned. The men on the Pan
her were in fairly good condition.
S While the room was limited, there was
10 overcrowding.
The Rough Riders will be mustered
M ut at once, and the work has really
ommenced, as an accounting of their
quipment was in progress yesterday.
oday the work of mastering out the
hen will begin and proceeded with
ist as fast as possible. There is no
hange in the programme of the gov
rnment as to getting all the volunteers
ut of this camp just as fast as they
an be sent away. Whether there will
# e any parade of the Rough Riders in
lew York is uncertain, but if there is il
ill be after the men are out of the
ovarnment service. The expectation is
egiment will have become veterans OF
ne war by Saturday and perhaps soon
r. The necessary work is being hur-
ed. and Major Mills, who 10 in charge
the work, is kept busy. Colone
oosevelt is aiding him and watchine
verything to see that no error occurs
.h the accounting and in entering the
scords of the men. Some time today
he Thirty-third Michigan viii depart
4 he regiment viii muster about 725 mer
hen they leave camp, and the sick vii
e sent away as fast as possible after
ard. 1t is possible that a hospita
rain of sick Michigan troops will leave
he camp about Saturday. The Thirty
ourth Michigan will leave on Friday
his will bring the list of volunteers
ere down considerably. Those of th'
