riders will make ideal cavalrymen for
service in Cuba.
The greater number of the Arizona
recruits have conversational knowl-
edge of Spanish. The people of the
East believe the Arizona cowboy to be
combination of horse and alligator,
fond of the ardent and utterly lawless.
As far as the Arizona recruits OF the
flying cavalry are concerned this will
be found incorrect. The greater
number of the men are quiet, sober
fellows, who will be found at all
times keeping strictly along the line
of their duties.

is termed ON the muster-roll, is made

who ill the requirements have been
enrolled. These requirements are

miliarity with rife and revolver. Not
many cowboys are in the ranks.
Ranch owners. superintendents and

the storekeepers aud traders OF the
Territories comprise the greater part
OF the regiment. From the East have
come about fifty adventurous spirits,
most OF whom are college graduates

is said that what are roughly known
as gentlemen stand the rigors OF

who have been habituated to hard
ships by an agricultural and out

say Colonel Roosevelt and Colonel
Wood must look for their hardest

the wild spirits from the Mexican

serious question.

New York. Others are new to West
ern life. These include polo, football
and baseball experts, thoroughbred
horsemen and golfers. They are up
to-date Americans--many of them, like
Roosevelt, wealthy, and more than
one millionaire. Some Of the best
known are Craig Wadswortb, noted
cross-country rider; Hamilton Fish,
Jr., polo player; William Tiff
fany, New York society lead
er; Horace Devereux, the pride
of Princeton's football team; and
Ronalds, Yales great back.
A number of Chicagoans, prominent
in social and athletic circles, are also
enrolled as troopers. The others may
be called plainsmen, coming from a

chase o murderer or horse thief with
the sheriff.
The equipment is suited to the com.
mand. The men carry bre ech- loading
carbines with telescope sights, which
will send bullets through three inches
of oak at two thousand yards. The
carbines are slung across their backs.
A forty-four-calib ber revolver is in each
mans holster on the saddle. At their
belts are regular Cuban machetes,
while behind, on tho horn of the high
Western saddles, hang the lassos.
Heavy cotton duck, dyed dull russell
tint, fastened by strong laces running
through eyelets, is the material for the
uniforms. Attached to the coat is the
cartridge belt. The trousers extend
to the ankles, and from the ankles to
the knees the legs are inclosed in the
regulation military leggings. The
familiar dun.colored slouch hat is
worn by all alike, from commander
to private. The officers are distin.
guished only by their shoulder straps
and the symbols ON their hats. The
quality and design Of their dress are
similar to that Of the privates. No
gorgeous plumes-no glistening hel.
mets--no gold lace--no glitter of any
kind is to be seen, except that Of cold
steel.

ing" horse is putting the saddle on
him once. He is supposed to he ready
for use after that. Several of the nov
ices thought differently after the lit
tie brntes had "bucked" and thrown
them over their heads.
The drill of the volunteers includes
all of the regular cavalry movements
and some special maneuvers. These
comprise handling the lasso, skirmish
fire with carbines while riding at full
speed, shooting from horseback objects
thrown in the air, and jumping bitches
and other distractions. Every man
is obliged to care for his animal, and
is responsible for its condition. He
must feed and water il. rub il down,
handle the bedding, saddle and un-
saddle; and special instruction has
been given in picketing them, in
bivouacking without tents, and in other
features of outdoor life. For many
weeks the troops were put through
hours of drilling and other evolutions
daily, until now the regiment is pro-
ficient in marching. trotting and
wheeling company front, platoons,
files of fours, ETC., while each man is

FILIPINO COMPLAINTS.
Leaders Are Sighted By the Ameri-
can officers.

Hongkong, Nov 1.-THE Filipino
junta, representatives of General
Aguinaldo and the Filipino government
here, have drawn up what they desig-
nate IAN appeal to President Mckinley
and the American people," but what is,
in reality, rather in the nature of an
arraignment of American actions in the
Philippines.
John Barrett, formerly United States
minister to Siam, was asked by the
junta to present the memorial to the
United States government and people.
Mr. Barrett replied that, while he
could have no official influence regard
ing the status of the matter, he was
satisfied that a document which rep
resented the sentiments of the Filipinos
would receive at the hands of the
Americans all the consideration it mer-
tied.
The memorial says: 1--WE, the Hong
kong representatives of our country
men, appeal to the great and good
judgment of President Mckinley and
the spirit of fairness and justice of the
American people, as it is always shown
in their regard for the petitions of the
weak and oppressed.
while the fate of the islands is still
undecided, and we are doing all in our
| power to prevent conflict between the
Americans and Filipinos-awaiting pa

ference-we implore the intervention OF

the Philippines are to be ordered home
as soon as the troops now en- route for
the islands reach there to take their
places. The governor had written the
adjutant general requesting the dis
charge of young son of prominent
Denver family. In his reply, General
Corbin said:
I'm reply, have the honor to inform
you that it is the purpose of the war
department to return to the United
States, within few months, the volun-
teer regiments now serving in Manila
other volunteer regiments now being on
their way to replace them. 1t is be-
lieved this will have been accomplished
and the soldier for whom you write
will return to you about as soon as
though his discharge were ordered i'm
mediately."
Governor Adams is of the opinion
that the troops will be at home some
time in January.
From letters just received from Den
yer, it is learned that Brigadier General
Hale of this city, now on duty at Ma
Mia, is failing, and that he will be
compelled to return home at once.
