The boys at Camp Mabry had another
hard time Of it last night. but when the
sun came out for few minutes this morn
ing and dried their damp quarters. and
they learned from the morning papers that
the prospect for thsir being moved from
here in the near future was very bright
indeed. their spirits rose rapidly and they
forgot the discomforts to which they had
been subjected during the last twenty four
hours in the discussion Of more momsntous
matters.
Rain fell at intervals all day yesterday
and last night Nd TO I o'clock the down
nour was continuous The rain was a cold
one and was accompanied by fuul wind
which played havoc with many OF the
tents and caused their occupants TO mink
of the comfortable beds they left at home
In order to become soldiers and night the
Spaniards. Altogether it was a dismal
twelve hours for most OF those in camp,
but their patriotism is not TO be dampened
by anything they have so far met with The
news Of their probable movement 10 the
front caused unbounded enthusiasm in the
ranks and even had the effect of causing
those who were protesting against the
rightly Of the physical examination to Tor
get thsir troubles for awhile in the con-
temptation OF the prospeS1 VI seo'"s SWIM
actual service.
The telegram received last night by MUS
tering officer Elliott in regard to the re-
instatement Of officers rejected by the med
ical board was another potent factor to-
ward the restoration of harmony and cheer
fulnsss in the companies directly interest
ed The passage in the telegram directing
Lieutenant Elliott to make minute notes Of
,ha nbvs,oal defects which caused the re-
iection OF the officers in question Is con-
strued to mean that the government is only
seeking to protect itself against pension
claims in the future.
