Adjutant General Tillinghast came to

the Waidorf-Astoria. He had long con-
sultation with Col. Appleton. during
which the position of the the Seventh

to which the regiment will be put con-
sidered. 1t was said that It was a set
tied fact that the Seventh would be or

Mr.. Bolrovve Took No Valet.
New York. May 31.-The hardships of
camp life with Lieut.. Col. Roose-
velt's Rough Riders are being tighten
ed by quiet jokes on each other, which
the men pass along until some of them
reach the newspaper correspondents, who
find 1t difficult sometimes to tell which is
jest and which is earnest.
An example of this was the statement
to the effect that Col Wood had peremp-
torily refused TO permit Mr.. Ha1lett Alsop
Borrowe to take his valet with him to
Tampa. While Mr.. Borrowe's comrades
in camp doubtless considered this state
ment an excellent joke. some of his
friends here. who knew the sacrifices his
patriotism had led him to make. felt that
the publication of the story put him in
wrong and absurd light. When Mr.. Bor-
rowe Joined Col Woods regiment he took
neither servant nor dress suit. but entered
the service as a trooper. fully realizing
the rough work ahead of him.
