TUCSON, Nov. 5.--Three troops of
the Fifth cavalry as well as the regi-
mental band spent last night in Tue
son. The troopers are en- route 10
Fort Huachuca from California where
they have been playing the war game
for several weeks.
In the maneuyers which we're hex
at Camp Atascadero, a short distance
from San Luis Obispo, there were
some desperate encounters" with
heavy losses of life," but the Fifth
cavalry managed TO ccme out victor
In the mimic fights and beyond the
loss OF a few men and horses, IL
emerged from the lights In good or.
der and with many hcnors.
TheI regulars were loud in theif
praises of the Arizona militia which
took part In the encounters. They oe
clare that the Arizenans stand far
ahead of the Catalonia militia ano
that the work OF tho territorial sol
diers almost equailed that of the
trained regulars
The Arizona militia Is made up in
large part OF hardy cowboys and min
ers and in their list OF officers are sew
erai who saw actual service In Cuba
with the Rough Riders.
The soldiers train looks much like
a circus train. There was a Pullman
for the officers and tourist cars for
the men.
The horses were carried In fifteen
stock cars and there were several fiat
cars loaded with army wagons.
