A correspondent OF the Graham
Guardian, writing from the camp of
the Rough Riders, at Tampa, has the
following about G. L. Bugbee:
"Bugbee is here with us in charge OF
a detachment OF about twenty men.
lie is quite u character and popular
with rank aud Ole. He Is writing a
book entitled 'Bugbee's Views and
Observations on Military Life" !
hope he will have it type written be.
fore he Is killed as otherwise it will be
lost to the world for the man don't
live who a decipher "Dug's" chlrog.
tIphy."
Recently IL was reported that c. Z.
Mills, formerly superintendent OF the
Detroit Copper cOmpahy at Morenci,
who eft that lucrative position to join
the Rough Riders, had been killed Ia
Cuba. Knowing that Mr.. Mills WAS
an intimate friend Of Major Brodie, OF
the Rough Riders. and seeing that the
gallant major had returned to tho
United States, wounded, the LIBERAL
wrote asking him about Mr. Mills 1t
has received a letter from Mrs. Brodie,
who has to act as the Majors amanu.
ensis, as he has a shot through his
rigat forearm, in which the major
says that when he left Cuba, on July
10th, he had not heard that Mr.. Mills
was even wounded, lie thinks the re.
port must have originated from the
killing OF Col. Mills, of the LIST regular
cavalry. In speaking of his regiment
the major said: THE brave boys
COMPOSING the gallant Rough Riders
did, indeed, make a noble light. All
that can or has been said fails to de.
scribe the heroism Of the men as shown
under the heaviest difficulties and hot,
test fire. They reflect great credit or
their home states and territories, and
as an of1icer and comrade l am glad Il
testify TO the fact. Their friends MAJ
well uC piouu Vi buCuls Odpldlu
Luna and Llewcllyn with their troops
served ~gafautly in all the engage
ments that led up to the taking 0
Santiago"
