Col, Conley remained in camp until X noon, when he went over to a hotel kept by a man named Reilly at Mt sion. This Retlly condusted a ree- taurant several years ago on Enst ) Fifty-ninth Street. In a room in Reilly's hotel the staff and field oM- cers of the Sixty-ninth tendered the Colonel a luncheon, It was atrictly a Sixty-ninth affair, and nobody outside of those who attended knows what was said. The last view Col. Conley had of his camp showed him the blue flag of the Sixty-ninth and the Red, White and Blue flag of the nation snapping in the breeze before the tent he had just vacated, and 1,000 sturdy men in olive drab sending across the dusty parade grounds a message of encouragement and loyalty. Although Major-Gen. Tasker H. Blies toured the camps to-day on a visit of inspection and salutes were fired in his honor as he travelled along the ten-mile line, the Bixty- ninth held the centre of the etage, as circumstances attending the adven- tures of that regiment since the 18th of June are the bas! means. In the Seventh and Sev- enty-first the percentage of men who will apply for leave to go hame because their families need them 1s small, but the number is mueh Digher in giments such as the Twelfth, Fotrteenth, Twenty-third and Seventy-fourth, MUST PAY OWN FARE BACK TO THEIR FAMILIE: The questiona in doubt relate to the railroad fare, Apparently the Gov- ernment expects men discharged at the border in order that they may ko home and take care of their fami- Nes to pay their fare to New York. It costs about $80 with meals and sleeper to travel to Ne McAllen, uf ie ae The cavalry regiments camped in McAllen appear to be badly handled, The horses are not properly cared for, not properly fed and not watered as often as they should be, As for water, there is ground for justifica- tion of the officers, because the water supply js insufficient, By the time the water gets down to the cavalry after flowing through the entire camp it Is actually scarce and has cathartic properties, which have induced diarr- hoea and kindred bowel troubles, In orders issued yesterday the Sixth Division, under Gen. O'Ryan, is made up of four brigad three of infantry under Brig. Gens, Lester, Dyer and Wilson, and one, compris- ing the First and Second Field Ar- tillery Regiments, commanded by Bri Gen, William 8.
