THE 1HIR1Y-TH|RO
II A Gallant Regiment OF
Frontiersmen.


oo,ulu before departing LOT 'ne
,,ese,ds of Luzon, there is none 'he
,na,vidual history of whose msh
forms a more romantic chapter III 'he
s,orv NJ American valor than the com
mand recruited from the plains OF 'he
southwest, which yesterday entered
mon a short stay in Honolulu.
The Thirty-third Regiment united
States Volunteers is on the oniteu
states army transport Sheridan, which
docked at Oceanic wharf last Saturday
night. and which sails for Manila to-
morrow.
Colonel Roosevelt, from a knowledge
of his subject, said at the beginning OF
the recent war with Spain that Uncle
Sam or any other power could not get
together more formidable cavalry
than the sun-browned. -boned, dan

by the frontier winds, he presents
commanding figure. He was a cap
tain of Rangers from 1875 to 1880. and
has probably had more desperate en-
counters with border ruffians and des-
peradoes than any other man now
