-OUR ARMY LETTER.
Galveston Tei
July 5,1898
To the Herald Sentinel:
A. I eUim to b. WmMU
oounty boj. 4 fro,n
army may be of interest to your
readers, I will attempt to tell of
oar army life to tbe best of my
Ability.
I am in company l4D" in a reg-
iment known aa the Galveston reg-
iment, and our company which
was enlisted at Wichita Fall* In
Panhandle oountry ie known as
the Panhandle volunteer*. We
have not seen a *ery hard time
yet, but espeot to before long; we
get good enough provisions and
clothing* but have to drill sis hours
every day. It is very hot here at
Galveeton and nearly every d«y
of the boys are overcome
with the heat and fall upon the
field aud are carried to the camp.
Yesterday, being the 4th of July
we were marched five miles to
town and made a street parade,
before some six thousand people,
and the Galveston papera stated
in the morning that this regiment
was the pride of Galveeton, the
wealthiest city in Texas, recogoii-
ed by giviog us each, one drink of
cold water and letting us march
back to camp and eat a 4th of July
dinner of beans, tomatoes, bard
tack and sow belly. T wonld not
ad vim any of the Cloud Chief boys
to enlist in the expectation of a
good time; but for my self I am
satisfied provided we can get a
pay day before leaving Galveston.
The Y. M. C. A. ie doing a good
work among the boys in distribut-
ing writing paper and other deeds
of kindneee.
The boye were all vaccinated a
few weeks ago, and are now suffer-
ing with sore arms-
We expect to leave for Cuba in
about fourteen daya, but cannot
tell whether we shall aail from
here or Tampa.
It ii now time for drill, and as I
must soon obey the order to ,4Fall
In" I must olose.
Youra Reepectfolly,

The Louisville Poet says: ''The
word 'imperialism' has no terrors
for the true American who knows
that this ie indeed an imperial
Republic, made so by its coaetitu-
tion and its laws, «uder which
mountains have been removed and
deserts made to bloseom ae a rose,
snd a weak confederation of 8,000,
000 baa become a mighty nation of
75,000,000, the wonder and tbe en-
vy of the world.
