ROUaH ON 4oesEVELTsRIDERs
An Effort Making to Prevent Their
Proposed New York Parade.

Camp W.koff, Mortauk Point, N. Y,
Sept 1.-The question whether the
Rough Riders will parade up Broadway,
New York, is still unsettled Col. Theo-
dore Roosevelt is anxious for the parade.
and so are most of the men, Somebody
at Washington. however, evidently
thinks differently and yesterday Gen
Wheeler received a telegram from Ad5t.
Gen. Corbin. directing him to muster out
the Rough Riders Immediately.
Maj. Mills, the mastering officer. has
been at work for two days. getting the
records straight and he said this MORN
ing that it would take about a week to
turn over the regimental property to the
government and give the men the ply-
sical examination that will be necessary
before they can be mustered out OF seiv-
ice.
Col. Roosevelt has said that II the men
are mustered out here he will be willing
to pay their expenses to New York ard
all the expenses of parade, but w eth2r
he could hold the troops together for
such a purpose is doubtful. Then II they
have to give up their horses here they
viii be 10th to ride up Broadway on rent
ed steeds
Altogether, the question is yet very
much unsettled. Only two things are
positive, Col. Roosevelt will have the
parade if he can possibly manage it, and
certain people in Washington will pre-
vent him If they can.
An endeavor to hold the regiment to-
gether notwithstanding the mastering
out, has been made. and has resulted in
the formation of an organization. Lieut..
Col. Brodie is the president: Col. Roose-
Welt is the first vice president, and G n.
Wood the second vice president. Lieut..

is alleged that the bills and vouchers to
sustain his claim were bogus.
This traffic is contrary to regulations,
and Gen. Ludington is endeayoring to as
certain its extent and locate those who
have been guilty of the acts charged. He
announces that severe punishment will

Company, arrived early this morning,
with 27l sick and wounded soldiers from

ton Maj. Borden, In fact. said that
twenty-five of the sick men were regard
ed as mortally Ill. while the condition of
many others was very critical. Only

leave the steamboat without assistance.
Surgeon Major Apple. L. S. A, who is
in charge OF all the sick soldiers in the
city, met the steamboat and took imme-
date steps for distributing the sick men
among the various city hospitals.
The cause for the transfer of the men
from Camp Wikoff, Mai. Borden says.
was to have the worst cases sent TO the
stationary hospitals and thus secure more
room at the-camp hospital 4 majority
OF the men arriving with the Shnnecock
this morning were suffering from typhoid
fever. dysentery and chronic malaria, and
most of those who are to be transferred
in the near future are men suffering from
the same diseases
