You are on the right track, Boxcarwilly! Check this out.... a 1st Volunteer Cavalry "Rough Riders" medal....
Note the shape of the "star", the crossed sabers, letter style of the R's, and the 98

Believe what you have is a Rough Rider Reunion badge, BcWill, even though I am unable to find an exact match offhand.
Check out this link, with "New Mexico Yellow enameled Cavalry Division 5th Corps badge with pinback intact." Does the back of your badge look like it had a similar attachment?

The star shape pin is not a star, but the shape of a 5 bastioned fort to symbolize the 5th Corps... see link below, Spanish American War Corps Badges
Also, check out links to the annual Rough Riders Reunion (RRR as on your badge) or also known as Roosevelt's Rough Riders Reunion (RRRR on some literature related to the event)
unrememberedhistory.com
As well, a link that you will find interesting to memorabilia from the Reunion. ROUGH RIDER REUNION ITEMS:

Wow, a fantastic and very interesting find, BcWilly! The lack of any readily available written or photo references of your 98 RRR pin, suggests its a rare item and I encourage you to show it to a qualified expert!
