Des Moines, Sept. 12.-The Leader
prints the following from its correspon-
dent with the Fifty-first. now in the
Philippines:
San Fernando. p. l., July 80, 1885,
The formation Of the new veteran vol
unteer regiments continues to occupy |
much attention on the part Of the vol
unteer forces. Quite an adjunct OF the
Fifty-frst has already been dis
charged to join Col. Bells regiment,
the Thirty sixth. OF late, however,
number have turned favorably toward
the Thirty-eighth regiment or the
Eleventh cavalry, as it will probably
be called, an organization which Capt.
Lockett, an experienced cavalry officer,
is to command. Forty-six enlisted men
Of the Iowas have already applied for
discharge to join Capt. Lockett's COM
mand, and a considerable number more
will probably make application. Sew
eral officers Of the Fifty-first will enter
the Eleventh, but it cannot be accu-
rately stated who these will be. 1t is
almost certain that Capt. Davidson.
regimental adjutant, will re-enlist for
two years. He will probably command
a troop, though he may be so fortunate
as to enter the mounted service with
the rank OF major.
The Iowa band will furnish the nu-
cleus for the regimental band of the
Eleventh. The present band sergeant,
Frank 2. Jones. of Des Moines, will, 1T
lis understood, be the sergeant of the
new organization.
The following is list of those APP
plying for enlistment in Capt. Lockett's
regiment:
