ILast FfiaEY Cajplviaiifnl. .ETs: WI. Mix,

the Fifth U. 5. cavalry, stationed here during the summer and fall, went to Fort Huachuca, to pay them visit before departure of the command for Honolulu, where 1t is to exchange stations with the Fifth cavalry, which will come to Huachuca. The distinguished visit or was entertained very hospitably by the officers of the Fourth, and he remained at the post until Tuesday, when he returned home.
 Monday there was given in honor of the guest squadron drill, by a provisional squadron, organized by Captain Lindslay, who was in com mand of the detachment stationed at Nogales early in the year; The squadron consisted of four of the best troops, in~ the regiment, viz: Troop E, Lieut.. Joseph Richter IT,, commanding, Lieut. Nolle; Troop Il, Lieut.. Martin commanding; Troop Nj, Lieut.. Hall, commanding; Troop G, Capt. Fair commanding, Lieut.. Richards. " M
 Captain Lindslay commanded hnd Lieutenant Flint acted as squadron adjutant.
 The evolutions were conducted on the parade ground below the post, the squadron moving out in massed formation, from which it executed manepver, deploying from close formation to repel an attack from supposed enemy coming from position toward a small hill. Two troops were rushed forward and dismounted, taking advantage of the hill mentioned, the horses being retired for protec- ton to the shelter of an arroyo in the rear. The dismounted detach- ment opened fire upon the assumed advancing enemy. repulsing them, when one of the troops in reserve charged forward attacking the enemy's position on the right flank, the other troop in reserve executing similar movement upon the left flank.
 The guests of honor at the evolu. ton were Captain Mix, Colonel Beach, Captain c. c. Smith and Lieutenant Johnson.
 Sunday Colonel Beach, Captain, Mix and Lieutenant Johnson visited the Manila mine.
 Next week the Fourth cavalry will depart for San Francisco en route to Honolulu, and two troops of the Ninth cavalry will go to the post until the Fifth cavalry can come from Honolulu. The horses of the Fourth will be left at Hua chuca, and the regiment will take the horses of the other at Honolulu, saving transportation ofthe animals both ways.
 There are to be some changes in the personnel of the officers of the Fourth. Captain Lindsay has been transferred to another regi- ment, which he will join in the Phillipines, and Captain c. c. Smith, who was in command of the two troops at Nogales, has been transferred to the Fifth cavalry He will accompany fine Fourth to Honolulu and return to Huachuca with the Fifth. Lieutenant Garden hire, who was in command of No gales at one time but has been on detached service, has rejoined the Fourth, and will go to Honolulu
