 ] ALABAMA BOY
Slayer of HiIdebrand a Native of
 This State.
IS A COLLEGE GRADUATE
Eyewitnesses of the Affair State That the Shooting Was Dons Without Provocation-Stricter Discip-
 line has Been Inaugurated.

San Francisco, September 14.-When Wal ter Rosser, the First Tennessee volunteer
 who murdered Henry Hildebrand, clerk in the Spreckles market, during drunken
 spree, was booked at the city prison, he
 began to sober up. He handed in ladys
 gold watch and $65 in coin, and asked that the valuables be cared for. Then he wept and said he realized his deep disgrace but claimed not to recollect anything about the shooting.
 My father and mother live in Stevenson, Ala." he said. My father is superintend- ent of the Nashville, Chattanooga and St.
 Louis railroad I am member of the Sigma Nu fraternity and a graduate of the Vanderbilt university, and am entitled to the degree of Medical Doctor. When the
 war broke out I was student in classics, but left school and enlisted in the Tennes- see regiment at Memphis. My knowledge
 of medicine gained me the position of
 steward of Company B. which position still hold. I have telegraphed my father, and expect him to come to this city at once"
 Judge J. H. Guerry of Georgia, who has lately come to this state to practice law, called upon the prisoner and rendered his services as friend of the family, and he
 was accepted. He will appear in court
 when Rosser is arraigned
 Eye-witnesses of the affair state that Rosser fired the fatal shot without provo cation. He fought against arrest, and al- most succeeded in escaping in the excite ment, having slipped one hand through the steel handcuff. While waiting for the pa- trol wagon he is said to nave pushed the dead body of his victim with the toe of his hoe.
 Colonel Smith of the Tennessee regiment
 deeply regrets the odium which the crime casts upon his command. He will compel all the men to surrender their weapons, and may restrict their liberty In the fu- ture. Some of the members of this regiment were concerned in recent brutal assault on a negro near the Presidio. Colonel Smith, however, declares that most of his men members of southern families of good social standing, but a bad element got in during the nasty recruiting neces- sary to increase the companies from 84 to
 106 men. s.. Last nights murder caused General Mil
 Ter and Colonel Smith to send out guards
 to arrest drunken soldiers and return them
 to cai1'p, and this work was continued ur til an early hour this morning The ap pearance or the armed guarQs on the prom inent streets caused considerable excite ment Albert s. Emmett, a private of the Twens tieth Kansas regiment resisted the at tempt of the provost guard to take him from a saloon and struck the captain of the guard blow that knocked him down.

Five Regiments of Infantry Will be Nov ed From Camp Wikoff at Once Rough Riders Being Rap
 idly Mustered Out.

New York, September 4-Major- General William R. Shafter and Major-General Joseph Wheeler returned to New York to- day by the same train. Neither gene. al knew the other was aboard the train, and they did not meet until after their arrival in Jersey City.
 General Wheeler and his party, consist ing of his son and aide, Lieutenant Joseph Wheeler, and Major Beach, travelled in a private car. General Shafter who boarded the train at Washington had a berth in sleeper.
 General Wheeler was up and dressed when the train pulled into the depot, and on his way to the ferry he walked past the car General Shafter was in without know ing he was there.
 General Shafter took a later ferry boat to New York. All he would say regard ng his plans was that he would go to Montauk Point tomorrow He was accompanied by his wife.
 Denied the Interview
 General Wheeler was more communica- tive when questioned by reporter. lie said: "I will return at once to Montauk Point to resume command of the cavalry division There are five regiments or cavalry left at Montauk, the First, Third, Sixth, Ninth and Tenth. They will be sent to their various stations as rapidly as pos- sble."
 General Wheeler denied that he. had said in an interview during his journey that President Mckinley had observed to him that the war was not over.
 Moreover" said the general, President Mckinley never used such an expression in my presence. It is true that in answer to questions as to mastering out of volun- teer troops I have expressed an opinion that considerable portion of the volunteer force would be retained until peace Is sign ed"
 General Wheeler added that in his opinion the Cubans and Porto Ricans would be found tractable to the wishes of this government. "1 have learned. he said, that you can accomplish nothing by dealing harshly with Cubans, but by req soning with them you can get them to do nearly anything you desire. They will listen to reason. I do not believe that a large standing army will be required either in Cuba or Porti Rico." ''- '
