Lieut.. NJ. F. Steele, of the Eighth
cavalry, who was attached to Gen.
Wheeler's staff during the war, and
who has been detailed by the war de-
partment to muster out the Four
teenth regiment, was busy at the army
building yesterday. He was making
the last arrangements for the recep-
ton Of the soldiers upon their arrival
and for their maintenance while in the
city.
1.-The men will sleep on the floors
Of the buildings they are to occupy"
said Lieut.. Steele to a reporter for
The G b e, unless some philan-
thropic citizen Of the city provides
cots for them. Each man will receive
a blanket, comforter and pillow and
will have to make himself as much at
home as he can. The government does
| not provide cots for the soldiers The
government has just issued an order
that is unprecedented in army an
nails. 1t has decided that the tents
in the winter camps in the South be
provided with board floors and cots.
L have been fifteen years in the serv-
| ice and that is the first time I ever
heard of such plan. It is contrary
to army discipline as practiced in the
past. When a cadet goes to West
Point he receives a blanket and COM
forter and he sleeps In a tent with
two others, and that is his home
1.-The regiment will be In this city
at least fifteen days. Every man will
have to pass a physical examination
under doctors Of the Twelfth regiment
and then each captain must turn into
the department five copies of his COM
pany muster roll. which must be ac-
curate to the minutest detail. These
muster rolls are the histories of the
companies, and an error may have
bad consequences later. Then the
paymaster must make up his pay rolls
from the muster rolls, and Mai Tuck
er tells me he cannot get through
more than one day. That means
thirteen days. The paymaster must
be careful not to overpay a man, for,
If he makes such an error, he must
stand the loss. Each man Is to re-
ceive his full monthly pay and, m
addition to that, a days pay and ra-
lions is allowed for every twenty miles
he has had to travel to the rendez-
Vous''
The three upper floors of the Mann
heimer building have been cleared
for the reception of the soldiers. The
building is cut up into small rooms,
which looked very bare yesterday.
The quarters at the Market house
are also ready for the men.
The armory will accommodate the
two companies assigned there very
we'll.
