left side. He finds the horse, which nine times out of ten is standing on his hind legs in the air, and in jiffy there is man in the saddle.
 The horse rears and plunges, tries to throw his rider by every means known to brOnchos, but the rider, turning halfway around in his saddle, yells to "Bill' or "Snuffy" or Shorty to do something that he has forgotten, and then darts off with the speed of the wind. Once the horse is started he has to go. The rider is the master, and his unmilitary seat, his supple, swaying body, meeting every motion of the horse, is a picture of grace and skill such as can be seen nowhere except in the far West, or with this outfit of men who come from there.
 And to top it all off, these men can not fight at all, according to the rules laid down in the tactics for cavalry men. But they can drop the reins of their horses, guide them with their knees, whip out a six-shooter with each hand and get In about three shots to a mounted cavalryman's one, with the distinction that every shot goes very close to where it is intended to go. They are picturesque, devil -may-care lot of hardy men, whose hearts are in the right places and whose hospitality Is as broad as the limits of the earth Their language is sometimes more pie turesque than polite, to be sure, but they are used to emphasizing their re- marks when obedience Is not imme- diately forthcoming. They have a wholesome disregard for rules and regulations and books on field instruc- tion They haven't much use for junior lieutenants of the army, as a rule, and particularly for those of State regi- ments. But they uphold their officers, who are to large extent regular army officers, in everything they say or do. If any one wants to see an aurora borealis in midsummer or shower of shooting stars In midday, let him go into the camp of the rough riders and criticize any of it's officers. before the men.
 The camp of the rough riders lies directly west of the town of Tampa, is an open sand flat where the sun beats down all day with the heat of a fur mace. Any regiment of volunteers camped there without shade and w,rh out fents would die of like sheen. But
The San Francisco call., 1898-06-19

these hardy fellows, inured to heat, cold and exposure in Arizona, New Mexico and Texas, never think of mak- ing a complaint about their camping place. What suits their officers suits them, and it would be all the same to them if they were told to camp in swamp.
 I visited the camp in the forenoon and found Colonel Roosevelt at his headquarters, chatting with some of his officers. I was given the freedom of the camp and told to make all the photographs l wanted.
 Here is a strange thing" the colonel said. ''I have here among lot of re cruits Bob Wrenn, the champion tennis
 player of America, who wants to join
 this outfit. He's a strapping good fel- low, with plenty of nerve, and I've sworn him in. Isn't he an odd char
 acter to have with a cowboy outfit, well sprinkled with ex-United States mar shals, sheriffs of formerly hard | towns and such types of Western life
 as I have in this regiment?"
 These rough riders all adhere to the .45 caliber Colt pistol, which has been l in use In the West since pioneer days, 1 and which has not yet been equaled.
 They will not use the Government 3S- | caliber revolver, claiming that it Is too Flight and jumps too much for accurate 1 shooting. That IEelT JuUSlIlel IS SOullQ
 is evidenced by the fact that since the
 45 was replaced in the army by the 3S
 the average of accuracy in pistol shoot
 ing has dropped almost 50 per cent. | Through the influence of their | commander the regiment has been
 equipped with two Colt rapid fire guns,
 using the small 27 caliber steel jacketed bullet and capable of firing accurately | 600 shots per minute, at ranges from | 200 wards to two miles.
 The regiment is not well supplied
 with tentage, having only the little
 "dog tents" which are carried by the
 men on the march. They don't seem 1 to care anything about tents, however, | as almost every man has lived out of doors all his life, and has been accus- toned to sleeping under tree, with no
 roof but the starry sky.
 | As types of the makeup of the rough riders, three men who have been selected as scouts may be taken as a 1 fair average of the men, One of these | is B. F. Daniels, and his last address
 was Cripple Creek, Colorado. He is a
 Marshal of that famous type that has
 rid the West of its hard men. He has | the reputation of having always
 brought in his man, when he went af-
 ter him. although not infrequently the
 man was sent in, in wagon, feet first.

culean frame, who goes about his busi- ness of thief catching as relentlessly as a bloodhound, and with scarcely less certain results. To the few who know him well he is a stanch friend and ally who never was known to desert a comrade, even in the most trying straits. Those who have seen exhibi- tions of his craftsmanship, with the old-faShioned, Single-action siX-shoot- CT, which is his favorite weapon, mar vel at his rapidity and skill. He never does any talking, but when the instant comes to use gun it is used so quickly that the hard man" never knows any thing about it.
 Daniels has had a long and varied experience in the West He was Mar shal of Dodge City, Kansas, years ago, r when that town was considered the | hardest town in the country. He is and | has been for years a close friend and companion of Bat Masterson, the fa- nous Sheriff, now in Denver He has been tried for years as a scout against Indians on the frontier and against the cattle thieves and rustlers who almost caused a war in the early nineties.
 There are seventeen notches on the | handle of Daniels six-shooter, and every notch could tell a thrilling story if it would. In person Ben Daniels is a giant. He stands nearly six feet one | inch and weighs 240 pounds. There l isn't an ounce of fat about him.
 Colonel Roosevelt said, in speaking of his three scouts, that too much could not be said of Daniels as a man and a fighter in a just cause. Armstrong, he says is another type, and Is also an other of his scouts. He is highly es- 1 teemed by his commander. Bell, the third man selected as scout for the out fit, shares equally in the confidence of Colonel Roosevelt and is equally valu- able. All three men are distinct types of the West and each is invaluable in | his particular line of work
 J. T. Armstrong is from Refugio County, Texas. He has long been a Deputy Sheriff in that county and has had a list of experiences similar to those of Daniels. The organized bands of thieves who a few years ago ter rorized that section of the State have good reason to remember this nervy man, who was largely instrumental in breaking them up and sending many of them to their last accounting.
 Sherman M. Bell, who is seen at the right in the picture, halls last from Cripple Creek He Is equally important as a scout with the outfit of which he is a member, and his past record is al- most equally thrilling. He is a man of quiet demeanor, but crafty, keen and untiring in the discharge of his duty either as an officer in the West or as a scout.

They don't knov d great deal about the man. ual of arms, as practiced by the Amer ican army, and they can't load rifle and fire it with the trained regulation of a ve.eran soldier. But they can handle a Winchester with swiftness and deadly precision that Is astonish- ing, and what they cant accomplish with that weapon their heavy six shooters will take care of.
 The rough riders are not men select ed and graded as to size, weight, soundress of teeth and waist measure ments Some of them weigh close to 25O pounds; others won't tip the beam at over hundred. But the little fel- lows grizzled by years of exposure on the Western frontier. are as tough as pine knots and can shoot as fast and as straight as a man who weighs three times as much.
 "Teddy's'' rough riders can't ride a horse at all-that is. according to mil itary regulations They do not grasp the reins at a point one-third from bit to end; they do not all sit erect, with line of back ranging with the line of the horses spine; they don't all sit with chin erect and eyes front, knees strengthened out and toes only touch ing the stirrup. In fact, every man apparently has his avn way of riding and when he starts for horse the half-wild beast kndws something is coming.

men. "Reminiscences of every Western Indian campaign, cattle war or other disturbance that has occurred within the last twenty years can be found here, for of such men as have passed through these experiences is the regi- ment of rough riders made up. There isn't any question as to whether they will fight. There is one order, however, they will be likely to ignore and that is an order to retreat. They are not made of the sort of stuff that goes into fight with any such end in view. I cannot conceive of any human force that could withstand the onslaught of this thousand men once they are turned loose. All the tricks of Indian fighting, coupled with the great expertness they possess in the use of weapons, will rem der them an uncomfortable force. and the first body of Spaniards they run against will have reason to believe that inferno has been turned upon them, if any of them get away to tell the tale By the time this reaches the eye of the reader the rough riders will be in Cuba, II present plans are carried out I can ask no better assignment than to be permitted to report their first meeting with the Dons, who fire from the shoulder, shoot high, and form in solid phalanX.

 well-known millionaire, is about to leave it's temporary quarters for San Francisco, en route to the Phil ippines.
 Mr. Astor conceived the scheme to equip and sustain a company entirely at his own expense for emergency work in our present war. This desire he made known to President Mckinley, and upon it's acceptance MT. Astor formed an entirely independent organization which should go at once to the front preferably to the Philippines-an ar tillery company. in truth, which should be of mountain and emer- gency equipment in conformity to the regulations of the regular army, but individual in name and dis tinctive in object and support. The mountain battery is indeed a modern light artillery. It Is the first appear ance of such battery in this war, as well as in the war service of this Gov ernment.
 The enrolment calls for ninety-eight men. A rigid examination is to be passed similar to that required Of the regular army volunteer for the East.
