COLORADO GUARD.
IT IS IN CAMP AT DENVER.
Tnousand Young Soldiers Ready for
"ar-Getting Broken Into Camp Life
Preparatory to Active Campaigning.

Denver, April 30.-This city now has
military aspect. as a thousand SOL
dlers come and go through the streets.
Members Of the national guard began
TO arrive from out of town at noon
yesterday, and nearly all had arrived
before dark.
The previous night the local militia,
under directions, had prepared some
tents for occupation and had on the
ground provisions and commissariat
utensils, SO that dinner was served to
the men shortly after the first detach-
ment arrived in the camp. Companies
from LongmOnt, Greeley, Boulder and
Colorado Springs were the first on the
ground
Brigadier General Hale, ubiquitous,
quiet, watchful, with eyes on every
thing that was going on, rendered
much assistance to the officers and
men In arranging quarters.
AS II was raining when the first
troops arrived, they reached the
grounds covered with mud from head
to foot and their clothes were soaking
wet. Those who arrived later were
not so unfortunate. The bluff where
the camp has been pitched is so stu
ated that while chilly at nights the
water does not remain long. 1t is east
of City park.
The men seemed to be very much in
earnest. They had come to the camp
in the belief that it would be a tempo
rary sojourn that would lead to Cuba
or further. The recruits, and there
was quite a sprinkling who had not
had time to get uniforms, did not act
as If they were out for a short holi-
day.
The tents were up and the men in
posi,lon for duty in very short time.

that were present

will examine the members of the mi
litia who have not passed the neces.
sary medical examination under the
new rules, but 1t Is not expected that
large per cent. will fail. The men col
lectively made a splendid appearance.
The different companies filled out
well, and there is a sufficiency and to

may be disqualified under the rigid
physical examination required to be
passed.
At 7 O'Clock last night sentinel duty
was established and will be main
tained continuously until camp Is bro
ken. AS darkness came on the camp
assumed more military aspect. The
hustle of the day gave way to compar-
ative quiet. The men assembled in
their tents, sang songs and told sto-
ries. Many of them retired early,
rolling up in their blankets. their feet
forming circles in the center of the
tents. 1t was cold night and the
weather was threatening. The blan-
kets were not as warm and thick as
blankets at home, and the ground was
not quite as comfortable as a mattress
and feather bed. There were cracks
in the tents through which the wind
managed to sweep. However, the
boys enjoyed it. 1t was their hrst
taste of soldier life and many of them
were still so excited that they would
not have slept even If soldiers bed
were made of down. All classes of
songs were sung. Yankee Doodle"
and Nearer My God to Thee" seemed
to be the favorites. In one tent "A
Hot Time in Old Town" was repeated
a score of times.
