foffned fOF service In CHINA.
PFI0ENIXA Ariz., Aug. 3.-Strcng hopes
are entertained in Arizona that new
regiment Of Rough Riders will be sum-
moned in the importing call for troops
Tor service in China. II is believed that
three regiments of cavalry Should be
formed, and that the Southwest should
have the organization OF at least one of
the three. Nearly ali the local members
OF the old regiment express themselves
eager to join the force if they can be at
taehed TO successor of the cid organiza-
tien. The regiment of Rough Riders. off,
cially known as the First United States
Volunteer Cavalry, was rec.uited mainly in
Arizona, New Mexieo, Indian Territory,
and Oklahoma It fs.probahle each Terri
tory would be willing and competent to
fill the regiment by itself.
A number of officers would be missing
1t is probable that Lieutenant Co,onel
would be willing g accept the coIcneley.
OF the old stan Adjutant Reyes is dead.
/ killed in the Philippines. Quartermaster
Coleman is brigade euartermaster in
Manila. Chaplain Brown Is an Army
chaplain, stationed in, Porto Rico. The
ranking captain, ONelII, was killed in
Cuba. The next in seniority, Captain Nc
Clintock Of Arizona, is incapacitated by
an ankle wound got at Guasimas. The
third captain, Houston, of Oklahoma, died
last month in Manila, and Captain Luna,
OF New Mexico, was drowned lately in a
river passage In the Philippines, where
he was on the staff of General Lawton.
Captain Capron was killed at Guasimas.
Caprons successor, Captain Day, of Com
pany L. and Second Lieuteant Dame, of
Company f. are captains in the Thirty
fourth Infantry across the Pacific, and
Lieutenant Griffin is a first lieutenant in
the same regiment. Lieutenant Green, of
Company G. is now captain in the Forti-
eth Infantry IN the chase after Aguinaldo.
Captain Curry, OF Troop H, New Mexico, is

mission and return because of fever caught
at Santiago. Lieutenant Wientge, of Troop
1, is dead from Cuban fever Lieut. Horace
Devereaux, of Company K, was badly
wounded in the arm, and is probably out
OF the service for good. LieCt. John R.
Thomas, of Company L, is Regular Army
lieutenant in Manila, and Lieutenants
Hayes and Nichols have also received com
missions. Lieutenant Johnson has lately
been commissioned in the Volunteers AS
sistant Surgeon Church has a similar billet
IN the Regular Army The rank and file
net only lost heavily in Cuba, but the
deaths in the last year of twenty-seven en-
listed men were reported at the Rough
Riders reunion in Oklahoma
OF the men it is probable that so per
cent would be ready and capable of Ell
listing
Captain Alexander, Of Troop C, now cap
tain in the National Quart of Arizona has
already offered the services OF himself and
command. The old bullet-Fiddled flag
brought to the regiment BY the Arizona
squadron cannot go. II is to be hung in a
glass case in the Governors office in the
new capitol.
