The Terrors.
| San Antonio. Texas May 2S.-Col Leon
| ard Wood received orders from the secre-
| tary of War late yesterday to proceed at
once with his command of rough riders
| to Tampa, Fla, and report to Gen. Shaft
er.
After a conversation over the telephone
with the railroad managers Col Wood an
| nounced that all arrangements would be
made for the regiment to leave here Mon
day morning over the Southern Pacific. A
sufficient number of cars cannot be pro-
cured earlier. and at least one day will
4 be required for the regiment to pack its
supplies and equipment and get the horses
| loaded on cars.
Later instructions came to send only
+, the first squadron Monday and have the
| other squadrons follow as soon as all
| equipments are received.
The first squadron is made up almost
entirely of Arizona men, Nearly all the
| New York and Eastern men are in the
| third squadron. which will probably not
| leave before Wednesday or Thursday
| Sergeant willie" Tiffany, of Troop X.
| Is the envy of all his comrades today. He
| is the first man to get box from home.
1t came this morning and was filled with
| goodies Ii was big box. and 1t took
| two men TO lift 1t from the express wagon
| TO the ground by ..Willie's'' tent. 1t was
| too big to put inside the tent so it was
| left outside and willie" and his mess
| mate. Reginald Ronalds will take turns
| tonight standing guard over IL
The box was sent to Willie by some
| of his New York friends. and contained
enough cakes and pies and canned goods
| to last the mess for a week. The receipt
of this box has suddenly made Tiffany
one of rhe most popular men In camp. Ii
is doubtful if Lieut.. Col. Roosevelt has
| been courted quite as much today as has
| Sergeant Tiffany.
| Joseph Lee. s. Holster. Guy MurchIe
| and Roscoe Canning comprised the kitten
| en- detail of Troop X today. Several Of
| the men have been on the detail before.
| but the work was new to Lee and Chan
ming. Claiming was assigned to the task
| of making the coffee and peeling the pota-
| toes. but this seemed to be his unlucky
| day. He cut his hand while peeling the
| coffee on his knee. blistering six inches
| of his leg.
Late yesterday Claiming and Samp-
son found the following notice tackled on
| board in front of their tent: For sale.
| cheap-Three dozen white linen shirts.
| with stand-up collars. and other trim
ming for holiday attire The owners are
anxious to dispense with the articles on
| account of little extra kitchen and sta
| BILE duty. Will sell at a sacrifice. For
| further Information address or call on
| Roscoe Claiming or Joe Sampson. Troop
| K. First United States Volunteer Cavalry.
Camp Wood. San Antonio. Texas.
The men of Troop X. embracing most
| of the Fasteners, have only one duty
which they try to shirk. and that is to
| ride their horses bareback to water. The
river Is about a quarter of mile from
| the camp. and it is unwitten law that
horses shall be ridden to water without
| a saddle. Only about one-third of the
company turns out to water the horses.
as each soldier rides one horse and leads
| the others. When the water call is sound
| ell it is an amusing sight to see some of
the men tumbling out of the rear of their
t.'nts and burying themselves in piles of
st -aw to escape duty.
rivi. Ricketts, was acting in the Off
cial capacity of chambermaid of Troop
| K lively stable today.
Woodbury. Kane and Charlie Bull are
| In training for a wild Comanche yell to
| be used IN Cuba when the Spaniards
press too closely.
Today is washday in camp and every
| conceivable sort of wearing apparel is
basking in the sun. the vari-colored hose
of some of the tents indicating that the
j occuDants "haye seen better dayS"
