CAMP W1KOFF. Montauk Point, N.
T., Aug. 1G.--Colonel Theodore Roosevelt
Of the Rough Riders got into hot water
yesterday AT f:3O y. m. Captain Albert
M. Fuller, aid 10 General Young, found
Roosevelt in the camp proper and
rebuked him FOR not having gone into
the detention camp two hours previous
ly, as ordered by General Young.
The colonel replied that he had not
understood that he was ordered into the
detention camp.
Ragged, bearded, lean and. brown. $50
men Of the Rough Riders, with Colonel
Roosevelt at their head; Brigadler Cen
eral Joseph Wheeler and his staff and
one squadron Of the Third regular cav
airy, under Captain Dodd landed short
ly after noon from the transport Miami.
There was q great throng of men and
number of women there to meet them.
Near the Miami lay the auxiliary
cruiser st. Paul. which arrived yester-
day with another battalion OF the Sew
enty-first New York volunteers, and the
eastern end Of Long Island echoed with
the cheers Of the men and those who
had come TO welcome them.
When the Miami came in to the iron
pier. General Wheeler and Colonel
Roosevelt stood on the bridge General
Wheeler wore q blue fatigue coat brown
canvas riding breeches and a white he'll
met Colonel Roosevelt wore a brown
Khaki uniform and the slouch felt hat
Of his regiment. The two officers re-
NAMED on the bridge until the Miami
had been made fast to the pier.
BY this time the crowd was so great
that a guard of sentries was thrown out
along the edge Of the pier to keep the
people back.
Mrs. John A. Logan. with a party,
was on car at the end OF the pier wav-
ing a handkerchief to the eager crowd
of bronzed men on the deck Of the
transport. The cheering was continu-
Gus.
The first man to leave the Miami was
Quartermaster Coleman. and close be-
hind him came General Wheeler and
Colonel Roosevelt At the foot of the
gangplank they were met by Colonel
Hecker. who was in charge of the trans
portation matters Of the camp. There
was a general shaking Of hands. and the
crowd pressed forward to the very bay
onets Of the sentries along the pier
Many Of the women spectators at the
patriotic scene waved small American
flags. which they carried in place Of
handkerchiefs. Captain Edwards Of the
sixth cavalry, who was in charge Of the
guard. came up in a few minutes and
greeted the warriors.
AS the party moved down the pier
Mrs. Logan left her car and came for
ward to meet it. The officers barred their
heads and shook hands with her warm
ly. AT this moment the regimental band
on the ship played rally Round the
Flag Boys" One thing particularly no
ticeable was the agility with which
General Wheeler moved. He might have
been half his age.
A short distance from the gangplank
the officers stood aside to await the de-
barkation Of the troops, while they talk
ed OF the stirring events of the past few
months
The Third regular cavalry were the
first troops to leave the ship. As they
came down the band merged its tune
into Home. Sweet Home" and there
was more cheering. Along the yellow
beach the men were formed with Cap
tain Dodd at their head He seemed
still bit stiff from the wound he re-
ceived at Siboney.
Troop C started cheering. This was
when the Rough Riders came down the
gangplank. Colonel Roosevelt, who was
talking with Colonel Forward, chief Of
the hospital staff waved his hand to-
ward his men and said proudly. Just
look st them"
The Rough Riders carried in their
first rank the flag that had been pre-
] uarfqH Ia fhnra nv 80 A
zona and which was hoisted over the
blockhouse at siboney. The detach-
ment, which comprised Troops A. b. D.
II, Il. X and l., formed also on the
beach, between the Third cavalry and
the railroad tracks.
Standing at the head of Troop K was
Woodbury. Kane of New York. John
Greenway, the old end rush at Yale,
looked gaunt and brown as he stood
before the men of Troop G.
Nearly all Of the men were thin, and
many limped upon canes. while others
walked with their comrades supporting
them. Their uniforms were for the most
part worn, torn and bedraggled.
Some one. talking to Colonel Roose-
velt asked him if it We're true that he
/ had been struck in the chest with a

"Oh, yes. 1 got a little something

wrist. "But there Is absolutely nothing
