was piiihmi1 to lo duly observed by
civil and military authorities. Such in
generally the ease in all state cncuiiii
liient. lint the San Antonio drill liuiimge
melit linve long since footed their
ledger nml found their balance at the
wrong fide of the pap-. In view nf that
fact, and in further view of the fact that
ihey are daily growing fearful that they
ore going to draw to u financial .windy
on thin eiicaiiiiiiient project, caused the
liiauagenieiit tinlay to ease Ihcir coti
Heienee by having a sacred concert an
nounced by the hands and then procoeil
ing with the division review ax usual and
charging at the gate admission as on
week days.
True, during the morning hours all the
regiments were supposed to have devo
tional exercises, lint in this, ns in many
eases in life, the supposition failed to re
sult in any materialization.
Ah early as ! o'clock this morning
come of the companies were out for prac
tice drill, availing themselves of the
cool morning air in get in some good
practice work. Along about it o'clock a
great many of the private were paroled
for the day to see the city, and Hocked
to town in droves. In the meantime
itiite n number of young ladies who hail
lira veil the excessive heat of the morn
ing to visit the cum p. wandered around
through the tented lield to liml nothing
but a few nlliecrs lolling around their
leiitx and the sentinels performing their
monotonous duly of purolling ami guard
ing a ramp that is not likely to be in
vaded by any enemies, unless .lake Wel
ters, in his desire to stamp out the Volun
teer titiard entirely, should mass the
members of the Twenty-tilth legislature
and Hform the camp. Along about 11
o'clock, however, the visiting ladies had
an opportunity of seeing about twenty
five officers attend religious services at
the lieaihUiirlers of lieu. Cocke. The
cervices were brief but interesting and
gave evidence to the faet that even on
the tented Held of war there wen- those
who had the time and inclination to pay
that respect mid consideration due to the
tircut Commander of nil Hosts.
With the innovation of these divine
cervices, however, nothing iuterrupied
the monotony of camp life until the di
vision review of this afternoon, when
iiite a large attendance of spectators
interested one another and the soldiers.
While today was necessarily rather a
iiiet one, the competitive drilling opens
up with force tomorrow and will con
tinue all during the week. The following
companies have been ordered to drill to
morrow morning in their respective
classes, and their drills will formally
open the mutter of contesting:
The, Shaw Hides, Mexia Minute Men
mid the Dallas Zouaves.
These companies drill toiiiorrow morn
ing, and from four to six comnauies
every day thereafter.
The camp is now rapidly gelling down
to business. The boys have become
somen hat accustomed to camp life and
lire entering into the duties of the same
with a great deal more !teu! than former
ly. Every indication is that the present
camp will be a most instructive and in
teresting one. even though the weather
Is so hot that it makes living almost uii
liearalile. Referring to this hot weather, which
seems to have settled like a blanket over
the camp grounds, it is well to state that
while it is most undeniably no fault of
the drill management, it is still a mat
ter nf regret that the camp grounds are
not cooler.
The drill management are doing all in
their power to help the condition of
things, but their efforts do not avail
much. The camp is. unfortunately, sit
uated nn the river bank in the hollow,
where what breeze that is blowing has
email show to cciilatc through the trees,
mid the result is that the camp, while
come cooler at night, is a veritable bake
even in the day time.
The companies sigh away down in
their hearts as they remember the ele
vated and cool encampment grounds at
Austin, where everv -onipaiiy was well
shaded anil had the most delightful
lirecucs blowing all the time. They re
inenibir all that, but they realize that
the geography of the country is against
the drill inn n:i L'etiient here, and, inopiiing
their fevered brows. Ihey say: "Let it
go at that." and proceed to face the sit
uation and enjoy themselves to the best
of their ability.
The drill iniinuiiciiiciit are doing all in
their power to help mutter out. and they
have certainly demonstrated that they
jiropose to run the encampment for the
convenience of the soldiers, if il can be
done, and they are therefore entitled to
nil praise and no "cussing."
During the coming week the drill
. tniinagemeiit expect the companies to re
ciprocate by drawing big crowds to till
' the management's depleted treasury, but
whether Ihey do thai or not the manage
ment will look after them.
I'p to the present time the attendance
mis I i distressingly small. It is
thought that by Tuesday or Wednesday
something like a Hood of visitors will set
in, but in ease ihey d it the manage
ment will lie swamped on drv laud. A
flood of the kind mentioned is iilioui the
only thing thai will save them.
They are putting up a .neat drill .e

It was a few minutes of ;i o clock this
morning when the soldier boy, away from
home and mother, was roused lo scenes
of active duty by the shrill blast of a
bugle. "
Doubtless, like the Turk who spent
the hour of midnight in dreaming, the
soldier boy would have preferred not to
have been awakeni'd. There was no al
ternative, however, and he accordingly
rolled sleepily off his straw mattress,
rubbed his eyes and came to a realiza
tion of the fact that he was on the
tented field of glory. He heard no war
like sound, however, ami becoming as
sured that the world was at peace and
his week of display and dress parade
before the ladies was not apt to be in
terfered with, he rapidly became mon
arch of all he surveyed and even sought
for that which was out of his optical
rn nge.
While the hoys nil turned out prompt
Iy, there were some who looked decided
ly the worse for their first night in
camn. One cause of their gloomy and
uninviting looks was due to the fact that
they had been visited during the night
by an enemy who visits all humans
alike, spares none ami is especially loin
of the tender chick of a young military
stripling. Yes. the festive mosquito, who
is especially violent tnui rampant in this
neighborhood and who llourishes in such
quantities as to he taken into the census
roll of San Antonio, had swooped down
011 the tented field during the night and
made a wreck of the once beautiful face
of some aspiring young soldier. Said
soldier had fought a noble battle during
the hours of the night when nought but
the gentle moon had guarded his slum
hers, but he had made a losing light. All
around his mattress were spread the re
mains of the enemy, but their number
had out-fought him and he awoke to his
first day of military duty with a face
blotched with mosquito bites until he
looked very much as though he was
wearing one of these new fangled dotted
veils. He smoothed his wrath, bathed
his badly nbnsed face and knuckled down
to his active duties of military glory.
The first day of Camp Culberson had
come to hand. All during the night the
companies came from every direction of
the state. Most of the trains reached
the encampment grounds by 1 o'clock
this morning, but some were as late as
I o clock arriving. As each company nr
ived they gave ample notification of the
fact that they were on hand by pro
longed shouts that gave every evidence
of the fact that. their lungs were in the
pink of condition, though their stomachs
might be shy of food. One enthusiastic
company of youngsters with a big ket
tle drum iu their midst, charged across
the review grounds at 1 o'clock this
morning, yelling like a pack of hyenas.
They swept down on the tent occupied
by (Jen. Openneimer and Ins aide. Capt,
David Ilarrell. and fairly stormed the
battlements. (Sen. Openlie'mier. very
much dishabille, suddenly appeared at
the fly of his tent, ami with indignation
stamped unmistakably on bis countc
nance, gave chase to the midnight (lis
turners. J liey were gone as quickly as
they came and only answered the gen
eral's vehement expostulations for silence
with yells ot derision. 1 he gener-il
figure cut quite 11 silhouette in the ch
moonlight, but as the boys did not recog
nize or know who he was. they naturallv
paid 110 attention to him. The general
wauteil to tight somebody, however, for
being jerked out of bed. and he accord
ingly proceeded to rustle Adjutant t'Son
oral I'raiiKlm out of his bed nnd sent
him to arrest the captain and the en
tire company that was making the noise
This Maj. Franklin succeeded in doing,
and marching them 1111 before the aren
eral's tent the general gave them a severe
lecture about waking people at night tin
necessarily, while his aide. dipt. David
Ilarrell. from the precincts of the tent
liy. kept an old. wornont musket trimmed
on the entire company ot midnight di
mroers. ami inns gave ins worthy gen
era I his support.
