of the best marches made by DOdd's column was that from Culberson's ranch southward, when it made 11S miles in 43 hours
 Came Out With Sloeum.
 Gen, Dodd was glad to hear of Col. iSlocum's exoneration in the Columbus affair. Slocum was a West Point Tclassmate. Col. Slocum came out from Mexico with Gen. Dodd, having been relieved of the command of the Thirteenth cavalry to take the com mand of a provisional brigade on the border at Brownsville. Gen Dodd left Maj. James A. Ryan, formerly ad- jutant of his brigade, at Angustura, where he was commanding the Twelfth cavalry at the time. Gen. Dodd reports that the men of his late command are quietly waiting for de velopments. There has been no seri- ous sickness. The health of the men has been remarkably good during the whole campaign. The horses, once badly run down, are in fine shape now. The supplies have also been good. al- though the supply line has been very long.
 The long legged, loose jointed cav airy horses did not prove to be the right kind of mounts for such an eX- petition, but Gen. Dodd knew that be- fore he started Such horses are nor good for foraging for themselves and for getting over thin and crooked trails. The short legged and compact pony is much better for the purpose. At times the column was travelling at an elevation of 10000 feet or more. and the altitude was hard on horses as well as men. Regarding the con duct of the men on the expedition Gen. Dodd declared too much could not be said for them.
 Pays Tribute to Men.
 They never fiinched and they never growled. No duty was so severe that it was not performed cheerfully. From first to last they carried out the spirit as well as the letter of the Presi dents order not to take the offensive in relations with the MeXicans, even when it was a decided disadvantage from a military point of view. They fulfilled the best traditions of the American soldier"
 The moral effect of the expedition on the MeXicans, Gen. Dodd said, was good Where the Americans were camped for any length of time, and the MeXicans began to knew them. the Mexicans came to look upon them not as enemies but as friends. They saw the Americans depart with regret. Instead of robbing them like the Mex jeans. the Americans paid the villag- CTS for what they received, and it was a benefit @ the people in their present impoverished condition. Mex ican leaders had misrepresented the Americans to them. The mass of the Mexicans appeared to want peace and anything that would bring it about but agitators prevent this
 Indians for Scouts.
 In the YoquivO country near the So nora line, Gen. Dodd's column passed through country peopled with Tara mahua Indians. They proved to be fine scouts. They were bitter against the Villistas because the latter had robbed their villages and carried off their women. Gen. Dodd speaks highly of the work done by his scout. Charles Tracy, Douglas boy.
 At times the soldiers experienced some cold weather. Gen. Dodd remem- bers of one instance where a surgeon was carrying water in canvas bag on his saddle during a long night march. In spite of the constant movement Of the horse and the heat of his body. the water was frozen solid when the surgeon started to cook breakfast the morning The scenery in the mountains was some of the most wonderful on the continent
