ROOSEVELT'S TRIBUTE.
Says BuCkey O'NeiII Was One of the
 BraveSf Men He Knew.

New York, Sept 2S.-At a speech made at Oys.sr Fay by Colonel Roose- welt he paid the following tribute to the bravery Of the Rough Riders:
 The most trying par- of it all was that wait, though, for the men were be- ing shot down like sheep. I recollect giving an order to an orderly. He rose and saluted, then feil dead across my knees. I saw Captain Buckley O'Neill walking up al1 down in front of his men. One of them said: Lie down, captain; you'll be hit.' He laughed and said: "The Spanish bullet has not been made that can kill me- The l-ext moment he fell dead, bullet hole through his head. He was a man Of absolute courage, and one of the finest soldiers and men I have ever known. We finally get our orders to go ahead, and then began my crowded hour Of glorious life, an hour wouldn't exchange fer all the rest of my life. It is pleasant 10 remember how the men behaved that day. I saw thirteen wounded men refuse to go to the rear, and I recall a New Mexico COW puncher who was shot in the side and whom I ordered to the hospital myself Twenty minutes later he was in the front rank fighting again. After the fight he went to the hospital and had his wound dressed. While lying on cot he heard the surgeon say that he was to be shipped home. That night he jumped out of the window and came back to the camp. -te fought with the regiment from then cn.
 The temptation is strong to go on with these tales Of personal bravery There were many others that I saw and hundred for every one that came under my observation. Well, we finally tCOk that hill, which we always called Kettle hill. 1 don't know whether the Spaniards called it San Juan hill or not One word I want to say in closing, and that is, that the regiment typified what we hold to be American. IT. it was the Protestant and the Catholic, the Jew and the Gentle, all alike and on the same fCC.ing. It was a Jew that promoted for gallantry cn the field of battle. The men rose on their merits as men, and by nothing elsa.

TROOPS IMPATIENT.
Volunteers Eager 10 Be Mustered Out
 of Service.

Washington, Sept 28-In spite of the recent announcement of the war department that no further reduction will be made in ths size of the volun- teer army, pressure fer the mastering out Of volunteer regiments continues as great as ever. l. is highly probable that the department will give way to the pressure, and that further reduc- ton Of the volunteer force will be made soon.
 For it's part the war department is about satisfied that the pres9nt volun- teer force is larger than is actually Eesded. Now that the exact number of troops necessary to garrison the ac- Quired territory has been ascer.ained, it is found that large number of men will be obliged to remain in the differ ert military camps in the United States unless more regiments arg mustered out. It is the knowledge of this condi- tion that has brought to Washington from various states men Of influence, seeking to have their state regiments mustered out at the earliest CpDortu1- ity.
 It is not the intention of the admins tTaticn to allow great reduction of the volunteer force, but the regiments not actually needed will be included i1 'lhsl new mastering Cu5 list. As far as possible the wishes cf the soldiers themselves will be consulted in reduc- ing the volunteer force, and those regi- meIts net relishing garrison duty in Cuba CT Porto Rico, or an inactive life in the federal camps, will be given preference when the time for muster~ ing cut arrives.
 The dissatisfaction among the vol unteers seems to rest almost wholly with the enlisted men, few Of the off cers caring to be separated from the servics and salaries which afford them sufficient income to await the end Of their term of enlistment with a degree of complacency that the private on his SI5.60 a month cannot share in.
 The reduction in the size Of the vol unteer army has made necessary re- duction in the number Of major and brigadier generals. The department has perfected plans for the discharge Of about one-half Of the general off, cers, and this number will be increased in proportion as the commands are mustered cut.
 On the return of Secretary Alger ii is believed some plan will be devised tc consolidate the soldiers willing to serve cut their enlistment into an or ganization of regiments prOportionate as near as possible 10 the state quotas, and where company and regimental officers approve applications fer dis charge under the rules of ths war de- partment, such cases will be acted up on faVorably.
