FROM ROUGH RIDERS CAMP
Troopers That VIII Put Up "A GIori-
Gus Fight.

Baltimore, May Pa letter from a
Baltimorean to the Sun, of this city.
written at Deming, n. NJ, says:
Il saw the Rough Riders assembling
at San Antonio. Millionaires from New
York, graduates and students from
Yale and Harvard, COW punchers from
Arizona and New Mexico, Indians and
half breeds from Oklahoma and Indian
Territory are joined under the Stars
and Stripes to fight. Judging from
what L have seen of them they mean
fight, and the buzz saw does not exist
that they won't tackle.
THE boys from the Far East have
gore into the thing, in my opinion, for
the fun and novelty, but | will gamble
that they will put up as good and stiff
a fight as any of the great hearted
cowboys who infest this country They
are now all brothers, and the Million
are from New York could be seen at
San Antonio borrowing tobacco just as
natural as the cowboy borrows a gun
The Rough Riders are encamped at
the fair grounds, three miles from San
Antonio, and when l saw them they
had just commenced to get their equip
ments and supplies. They presented a
fine appearance in their brown duck
suits, leather leggings and wide SOM
breros, and ine-tenths of them, l will
wager, are bullet-proof. Talk about
specimens of manhood, if you don't see
them in that crowd they are not to be
found, and if they get chance, or even
half a chance, the world Will hear from
them.
Roosevelt arrived at San Antonio on
Sunday morning and you can imagine
the reception given him.
I'm my several years experience in
border towns never did I see such rid
ing as / observed at the Rough Riders
Camp. The unbroken mustang is no
terror to those fellows.
Much has been printed in the Eas-
tern as well as Western papers regard
ing the feelings of the Mexican and
Spanish classes of the border towns.

London, May pa dispatch from Mad
rid to the Central News says that Senor
Sagasta in an interview with a Central
News correspondent last evening said that
as matters stood at present a naval en-
gagement in Cuban waters was extreme
iy improbable and in all likelihood would
be indefinitely postponed.
The current rumorS of fighting were un-
founded he said Admiral Cervera' s
squadron was safe in the harbor of San
tiago and would remain there while the
ships were coaled, cleaned and gotten
into trim. This work would be carried
out leisurely in pursuance of a well-de-
fined plan agreed upon by the naval au-
thorities. There would not be a fight at
Santiago, the Premier said, unless Ad-
miral Ceyera desired it.
The Americans would find the Santiago
forts and the ships in the harbor very
different from those destroyed by Ad-
miral Dewey's squadron at Manila, over
which victory the Americans are Growing
so loudly.
The Americans. he declared, would not
fight when the odds appeared against
them and when they faced guns of equal
caliber of their own. They dare not at
tack Santiago and if the Americans are
awaiting naval battle before they at
tempt an invasion of Cuba they will need
a considerable amount of patience.
