Clay W. Osborne, late of the 6th Cavalry, regulars, is in town on a visit and his fijends have hearty greeting for Immediately on the breaking out of the war he was just past 21, and he slipped, over from Washington, where he was living, to -Font Meyer and enlisted in the famous 6th Cavalry.

Many of our people have visited Fort Meyer and are lamlllar with the remarkable Cossack drill of the 6th, a drill as artistic and as thrilling as on would care to see. The 6th was soomnrdered to Chlckamsuga, where young Osborne had the pleasure of seeing much of the 9th Pennsylvania, lu which he had many friends. The first one to hunt, him up was the late Capt. O. HUlard Bell.

It was at Chlcka-Vnauga he had the opportunity of seeing something Of his brother, Lieut. William H. Osborne, of the 1st Cavalry, Who was not long after a victim ot the terrible Cuban fever. When Gen. Brooke went to Porto Rico he selected Troop of the 6th, as his body guard and so Clay's asplratlen for active service was gratified.

He was In one -battle and they were Just on the eve of another with forces all drawn up ready to strike, when orders came to cease hostilities. The news cast a gloom everywhere and lots of the men who had oeen buoyea up with excitement and expectancy wilted down, now that there was no fighting. and.xhe -hospitals be came speedily filled. Osborne has piti ful tales to tell of the incompetence, neglect and cruelty ot some of the contract surgeons some of whom were drug clerks mustered out from the ser vice and hired as surgeons at iisu a month. Clay's troop was one or the few that had its own horses.

He says the ooor animals suffered with the men. largely' from Insufficient food. He accompanied Gen. Brooke across Porto Rico, though too sick to ride his boiso except part or the time ana ne lost nearly fifty pounds in weight. He was down with the fever and dysentery and did not expect to get home alive.

For weeks he had nothing to eat Din tnree musty hardtacks and an equal number of quarts of coffee a day. But the reg ulars fared better than tne volunteers, as the latter sometimes suffered from inexperience of their officers in drawing After the death of his brother Will, his family, without his knowledge, had him mustered out ana so ne came nome, though he is still in love with the army and would go again it nis country houid need him. He uunKS tne ex perience we have had makes' it much safer to send troops to the tropics than it was His troop returned to the United States with only three- fourths of its number, the other having died in battle or from sickness. The troop, half prostrated as it is, has been ordered South again and will go to Cuba again soon, which be thinks is all wrong, as they havo not had a cnance to recuperate. Going to Porto Kico, nis transport.

with nearly 1,000 men and 1,500 horses and mules ran aground on the other side and waa not liberated for many hours. Fortunately the see. was still, otherwise there would have been great loss ot life. As it was they had many horses and mules drown In the process of unloading. Coming back his transport was caught by a hurricane off Hat- teras ana was anven neariy to tuw, For some 'days it was supposed to bo lost." in Ph ladelDhla at the peace juDiiee the other day he rode with the 6th, the colonel having sent for him to serve as his orderly.
