 The Los Angeles Examiner which reached here on yesterday gives an account ot the arrival of the Huachu. ca soldiers in that city under inc command Of Colonel Schuyler. The Examiner says:
 A special train bearing four troorS and the reginental band of.tbe Eft, Cavalry arrived tin the city vesterdsy V morning at 6 o'clock. The frain S.ss eight hours late.
 The special train consisted of one standard Pullman for the officers. seven tourist sleepers for the soldiers four flat cars for army and hospita, |, wagons, fifteen stock cars for horses and four box cars containing eonin- ment and paraphernalia.
 En route the heat was so intense that 1t seemed that several horses would die, but owing to the watcbFnL ness of Dr. R. Vans Agnew. inc vel. erinarian, no fatalities happened .p, the horses arrived in good condition ana after two days rest, win be ready TOT the long tramp to Ataseadero Wednesday morning.
 It has been many years since A rag lment Of cavalry or a regiment of soldiers have visited or been stationed at Los Angeles, and when it was learned that soldiers were at Agricul. tural Park, hundreds of people. eager to see the troops and watch tbejr maneuvers in making camp, were on the grounds early.
 The men of (soy,,,o,,;.. r, ~ n .. ana the reg1mental band have been stationed at Fort Huachuca for ever nVe years. only a few have taken ad- vantage of their leaves of absence and consequently when they reached Los Angeles thought they had arrived in the land of Paradise. 1t had been years since the members of this com nand had seen such beautiful flowr1p and scenery and all were charmed with the beauty of the country.
 First Lieutenant J. H. Barnard. battalion adiutant. was officer of the day in camp yesterday. For my part. 1t looks pretty good to be in Los An geies, said the officer, for it has been many months since have been priyi. legged to see such a beautiful country as this

 Each troop is equipped with a mess crew and outfit and are up to date in every way. The fuli quota is twC hundred and eighty officers and Icea.
 The shelter tents supplied to the men are of the latest pattern and are so arranged that they can be earned on the saddle.
 Lieutenant Phil H. Sheridan. son of the great Civil War veteran. is d typical soldier. Being of a modest disposition, he obected at first to be ing photographer by an Examiner photographer, but after some persua, sion consented to pose.
 There are several heayyweights in the Fifth Cavalry, among them being Charles Hawkins, sergeant of the nos pital corps. native of Sweden, who weighs two hundred and twenty-seyeu pounds. An extra strong horse has been provided for him. Sergeant Hawkins says: I would rather be in the army and am perfectly satislIeu with my surroundings. for I have never had better health, or enjoyed myself more than since i enlisted i'll the service. You see, have a chance to live closer to nature and have no paricular cares, and if live to be slI old man and receive an honorable dis charge from the army, the government will look after my welfare
 The men of the Fifth cavalry are glad to get away from Fort Huachuca, for there are not many attractions aI this post The fort is seven and a half miles from the nearest railroad The monotony of camp life is hard to bear and if it had not been for the dance hall at White City, three and a half miles away, where there are three American and four Mexican women, there would have been nothing to kill the monotony or entertain the soldiers.
 Today the men and horses will take a rest with the exception of a few who will be allowed to visit in the city. The time extended will be brief, for early tomorrow morning camp will be broken and the cavalry will be on it's way for the long tramp to Atlas cadero.
 At this encampment the National Guards of California expect to learn much, as the regulars will set the pace. and the maneuyers will be under
