Fort Shafer Notes

I
FORT SHAFTER, July 1S.-The
, 81 recruits that joined the regiment
on Tuesday have commenced drills
! and elementary instruction under
! the guidance of Lieutenants Mathews
: Longanecker ard Fredenali, each be
! ing a representative of a battalion OF
the regiment and being assisted by d
| sergeant and three corporalS from
each company of their respective bat
| taliOns. Owing to the large number
! Of men under instruction and the
| fact that the parade in the post prop
cr is the only suitable ground in the
post for close order instruction, the
commanding officer has directed that
the parade be reserved for the eXClu,
sive use of the squads into which the
new men are divided. The compan-
les will devote the time that the pa
rade is so reserved to field instruc
ton and marches. Yesterday after
noon at regimental parade all the new
soldiers were turned out to be pres
ent as spectators of the regiment
while going through that ceremony.
The men are pronounced by the Off
GERS of the regiment to be an unusu'
ally well-appearing draft and the de-
scriptive cards show that a goodly
number of experienced soldiers with
former service is included in the num-
Der These former service men will
only be given enough of the recruit
drill to test out their knowledge when
they will be sent to join their respec.
tive companies.
