The negro regiments . rm to be peculiarly attractive to the ii .tires, and when one of them is pass ing along a road, it is sure to have a 'gallery" made up of every native, voung and old, gathered In from the surrouding territory. o Towns occupied. T'n to this time, the commander of the expedition has refrained from oc cupying anv of th towns in the tern tor through which his forces have marched There may be other foasons for this seeming tribute to the feelings of the inhabitants of the country, but the reason aaslgned Is that camps In the open and as far remoted from town an possible are more conducive to the health of the men composing the var ious commands. Thus far. the army has been fortunate In that it has traveled through a well watered por tion of Mexico and has been able to make caftnp everv day on the banks of a flowing stream The effect of this haa Keen tn enable both inen and I horses to stand the strain of the dia.- tances covered each day since the 1 inarch began ten days ago. Men Well Cared For. , Nothing is being left undone hlch should be done to keep up the spirits of the men or to provide for their rna tinal comfort so far aa that may p ilone under existing circumstances.

The flrat day or two out, a few "dough boys" suf fered from blistered feet, but the new "tpe treatment" cured the blisters and they now hike along as well as their tougher footed fellows in the In fantry. Horses Looked After. For the horses and mules In the cavalry and transport trains, veterinar ians, horseshoers and saddler are on, hand to see that every possible ailment is promptly looked after. There are no sore backs, blistered shoulders npr crippled legs to be found, which is in marked distinction to what has alwavs been found by correspondents who have traveled with other armies in Mexico. The trip from the border to this camp has had the effect of hardening men and animals to the point where they should be ready for any service which mav be asked of them from this time 1 forward. , Correspondents Ilusy, , T'p to date we have been constantly i on the march and It has been some Jon I to write, even when we were up wuii the "typewriter wagon" TVe have a big office tent now but with the army or correspond en is now on un 6'"""i there Is ao much confusion that I have decided to flock by myself In a "pup tent though I have drawn one of the new Issue which Damon Itunyon. tyho occupies It with me, refers to as a "dachund" tent, because of Its long, low rakish build. .... The censorship Is very rigid Just now but we have hopes it will be relaxed In a ehbrt time or as soon as the forces are disposed to the satisfaction of the commander of the expedition.

An Army Of Guides. The expedition is accompanied by an armv of guides and scouts, for the most part oldtime cow punchera, who have ridden th ranges of this section of Mexico ' and are familiar with every foot of the ground from the border to the southern end of the Bablcora plain and farther south. They wear the high heeled boots, big spurs, brightly col ored neckerchiefs and gaudy shirts of ten affected by the cowboys of South western United States and give a touch of color to the somberly arrayed troopers and Infantrymen of the main body of the expeditionary column. The guides lead the way. riding well in advance of the main column, while the scouts ride the ridges on either flank, guarding against surprise by any body of the enemy which might have the temerity to attempt to make a dash with a view toward putting a wagon train out of business coutN Are (lannlli.
