Au6 AVVVVA'
For the Reflector,
On BOARD TRANSPORT LEoNA, OF
Port Tampa, June ll.-Last Monday
while in camp at Lakeland so miles
east Of Tampa, we received orders tt
pack up at once and to turn over tt
four remaining troops Of our regimen,
all horses and their equipment. Get
ting rid Of our band horses was 0
great thing for us as they we're and
always have been a nuisance to u.s.
Eight troops OF each regiment were
also dismounted and 1t did not sui,
the men at all but being soldiers they
accepted the order as huge joke and
at 6 a. m. when the call to break camp
was given they made as fine appear
ance as any "Doughboy,' as the cav.
airy call the infantry. We came
aboard direct from the cars late Tues
day night and next day pulled out in
the bay where we have been ever since
awaiting orders. Nearly the entire
regular army and several regiments
of Volunteers are on transports, 20
altogether, and they are crowded far
beyond their capacity and there is a
great deal of grumbling among the
men. The band has very comforta-
BILE quarters in the Storage while the
troops are crowded in the hold and
in fact all over the ship. All told
there are 1900 men on board. Our
boat is one Of The best and fastest Of
its kind for which | am thankful.
Yesterday word was brought that a
Spanish fleet was three miles off Key
West, and we were all run in to the
dock. The report proved to be fake
however.
Gambling is the only pastime and
it is carried on very extensively. The
Tenth cavalry, colored, is with US and
gambling is one Of their accomplish
ments. 1t Is no unusual thing to see
two, three and five hundred dollars
lost or won on the turn Of q card.
Every ship has two bands and two
concerts are played daily. All band.
men are armed with pistols while the
ex.cavalryman carries his carbine and
one hundred rounds Of ammunition.
OF course no one knows our destina.
ton but those high in command, but
as we drew ten days travelling rations
when we boarded and three more yes.
terday 1t leads most Of us to think
Porto Rico is our destination but it is
only gucsswork.
This expedition is under Gen,
Shafter commanding the Fifth corps.

WHERE FARMERS TRADE.
J. T. Prsndsrgast's Hardware and
Implement House.

| E.~0~.~
The place where bargains may be
found can be told by the volume Of
business and the fact that ]. T. Prem.
dergast has sold 81 carloads Of nipple.
ments and hardware since Jan. l,
1898, proves that bis big emporium
in the opera house block has been
found popular and profitable place
for trading.
His line Of farm implements, Guilt
vators, pillow, harrows, rakes, reapers,
mowers etc. includes the best makes
on the market and the farmer who
buys Of him is sure to be satisfied.
Everything is guaranteed to be as
represented and .the prices are sur
prisingly low. The immense de-
mand has shown how well these goods
are liked and how we'll they wear.
In buggies, carriages and carts
Prendergast has stock that cannot
be surpassed for style, workmanship
or quality. Every farmer will want
to give his family nice rig and Prem.
dergast's is the place to get it right.
OF course the stock Of hardware is
always complete and one Of the larg-
est in the State. Call at Prendergast's
and be convinced that you can do
better on all goods in his line than
anywhere else in Dickinson county.
