An Important Military Move- ment Demonstrated by | the Soldiers. | Six Hurdred Men om Outpost Duty. Browns Captured by Blues While Crossing the Line. | The outpost duty at the Presidio yester- day was one of the most extensive mili- | tary mane uvers that bas ever been under- | taken at that post. To accomplish the | object it required the entire garrison of | the post, about 600 men, and included the | | three branches of the service, the cavalry, | light artillery and infantry. The day was bright, the sky clear and the sun was warm, but not so much so as to make it uncomfortable. It was just such | aday as inspires men Wwho take au inter- | est in the work to be performed—and the rank and file took a great deal of interest | in the problem of yesterday—to action. The reason that the men took so much in- terest in tie event was that it was rough work and & variation from the humdrum monotony of parade ground exercise such as “two right,” *fours left,”” which looks pretty, but when once learned is only one small portion of the duties that a soldier should know. The problem that was presented yester- day by Captain John J. O'Connell of Com- pany E, First Infantry, was the placing of men so s to protect the Presidio post | from the attack of an enemy supposed to be approaching from the south and the southwest. IL was not a battle between oppusing forces, simply the placing of the available force 1o prevent the advance of an enemy and 1o protect the post irom be- ing captured. The post is assailable from land from three sides—from the south, from the east and from the we-t—and the problem was how to dispose of the men so a8 1o cover those three possible points of attack and check the advanceof an en- | emy. On the north side of the line of the Pre- sidio reservation there is now being built a strong stone wall, and within the line of that wall there is a magnificent avenue that parailels it from Central 10 First ave- nue, and then it takes a turn to the south- west and terminates at the Marine Hospi- tal. North of this road between the two ave- nues named there is a border of forest trees about seventy-five feet wide, and be- tween that and the quarters of tue post there is a wide stretch of territory that is known in military parlance as ‘‘open.” North and west of this open country there 15 & frinye of forest trees. Beyond this fringe, which incudes the norchwestern part of the reservation, on which are the tortifications at- Fort Point, there is a streich of territory of sanddunes up hill and down glade on which there is but lit- tie protection for soldiers beyond the cover of lupin amd scrub oak which would e¢n- able them to conceal themselves from the enemy. Tre wall from Central avenue west as far as built is as good a defense as any military commander could desire, and one of the safest positions that men on the de- fensive could wish to occupy. Experience is that in action an advancing enemy will Dever run against a stone wall, as it means sure death tc the advancing force, and it is a position that can be held wita a com- paratively smail force of men. From the Central-avenue gate there isashaded road 3277 feet long that leads to tne main p: rade ground, while east of this road the is considerable country through which an enemy could mareh to the point to be captured. The troops that were available yester- day for the covering of this territory, whica embraced front and flanks, some- thing more than two miles lony, were Troops Band I, Fourth Cavalry, Light Bat- teries C, F, G and K, Third Artiilery, and Companies A, E, F and G, First Intantry. The cavalry was under command of Capr tain James Lockett of Troop I, the artil- lery under command of Captain Ramsay D. Potts of Light Battery Cand the infan- try under command of Captain Charles G. Siarr of Company F. The scouts of the enemy were represented by a squad of Browns under command of Lieutenant Hiram McL. Powell of Company A. At half-past 8 o'clock in the morning | subsequent events it was well protecied, the men of the various branches of the service were assembled, and in accordance with orders previously issued the officers moved their commands to the respective positions that were assigned them and which®they were required to occupy in the demons'ration of the problem. A section of the Light Artillery was-moved along | the road to a point on the road to Central ; avenve, and was placed at the entrance to a cross rond, from which, while being shei-. tered by trees from the view of an ap- proaching enemy, the artiilerymen had a commanding view of any body of men approaching the center, and from there could have mowed them down with- | out being in aanger to any perceptibie | extent. It was a magnificent position and very creditable to the one who se- lected it. Another section of the artiilery | 100k up & position at the entiance from | the First-avenue gate, and there, under the shelter of tall trees, occupied a com- manding position, but possibly not so safe as the one occupied by the artillerymen near Central avenue. The cavalry was assigned to the duty of covering the ter- ritory from First avenue to the mouth of Point Lobos Creek. That was a long stretch of country, but in the light of Tie infantry was marched up the ave- nue on the north, and then, when on the avenue, moved ward the east. As| viewed from the eminence at the Central- avenue gate, the men coming down the grade at route step, close order, presented a fine appearance, but ormed a good tar- get if the enemy had been there to fire apon them. In a few minutes after ap- pearing on the road men were detailed from ihe ranks to act as sentinels, and they were posted on the' line of Jackson street on the south, then th-re were sent out artillerymen as sentinels east of Central avenue, and in the meantime sentinels were sent out from the cavalry. Men were aleo stationed at places behind the wall. One of the men who was against the wall, but with his nead so exposed that it was plainly visible 1o the enemy, was ad- dressed by one of the officers, who asked if be could see one of tne sentinels at Pa- | cific avenue, The reply promptly given was “‘Yes, sir.” “Then,” continued the officer, “‘you can be seen too and you had better getv behind this tree,” pointing to one near by. The soldier obeyed and, when in position, was asked if he could still see the sentinel. Again he answered “Yes, sir,” and the officer volunteered the intormation, “You are in just as advan- tageous position &s he, but you are better protected.” It was a brief lesson, but one the soldier will vrobably never forget. ‘While the sentinels were going to their respective posts small groups of men were sent into the trees at certain distances avart. These were the pickets, and behind these were larger groups of men called the supports, and at the northern end of the open was the reserve, composed of the light artillery not otberwise disposed, and back of these was, in place of the main army, the quarters that were being de- fenaed. The men who were the supports were, in fact, vesterday the strong line of re- sistance, for in case of battle they would huve been adyanced to the picket line to engage the advance of the enemy. The position that the infantry held was as de- sirable as could be asked for. Had the enemy forced this line it would have had to move across the open, where it would have been met by the fire of the guns on the eastand by the batteries to the north of them, which fire wouid have created great havoc in the midst of a vody of troops. The sentinels made a good showing] at their several posts, but_the infantry was notin appearance as formidable as the troopers, who, mounted on their charges, stood fast with either carbine or revoiver in hand. The pickets took :t easy under the shelter of the trees, and stret themselves on the ground while waiting for orders. ‘While the men were ‘‘at ease’’ Li+uten- ant Dennis E. Nolan, who the day before had through three decoys been led into a trap by Lieutenant Bent, who was in charge of the Browns detailed to capture a wagon-train, got upon the top of the wall to survey the situation. Just at that moment Lieutenant Bent, who was um- pire for the day, happened to come along and a civiban who bad witnessed the event of the day vrevious addressed the umpire, saying: *“Lieutenant, there’s the officer you got into a trap yesterday and metaphorically killed. Heisin a very ex- vosed position, is_he not?” *‘Yes,” said the umpire, *“that Lieutenant Nolan is the most reckless officer in the post. He don’t know what danger 1s. While the men were being posted Cap tain O’Connell, the promoter of the event who was mounted on a fast dark horse and accompanied by an orderly, was rid- ing from point to point to see that every- thing was being carried out, and besides these two horsemen there were mounted couriers and cour.ers aoot carrying orders from one officer to another, and for a while there was being done everything that is done on the defensive when an attack is expected. To many spectators who were watching the event and were expecting. to witness a skirmish, hear the roar ‘of artillery, the sound of volleys and the ¢ bers, the movements were strange and did not bave the amount oi excitemens that they anticipated, but as a military movement it was one well planned with possibly one The one ex. and faithfully carried out. ception was the massing of too much in- | fantry, considering the available force, behind the stone wall, which could have been defended with at most half the men who were ordered to that point, aud the | balance of the men couid have been sent to points where they could have been ei- fective. The first half hour of the solving of the | problem was the disposition of the men for a day outpost. After that the nigit outpost was demonstrated. It was very similar to the day duty, but the sentinels were moved inward to the inside of the line of the stone wall and posted very close | iogether. During the demonstration of the prob- lem the Browns, who were at various points 1o the south and on the right fiunk of the Blues, made aitempts to sneak into the lines of the Blues, but two of them were taken by the infantry and turned over as prisoners of war to Licutenant Nolan’s command. Lieusenant Poweil, who was in command of the Browns, suc- ceeded in passing the line neld by the cavalry, but his success was but momen- tary, for a trooper spied him, went forand | made him prisoner. Five other Brown men who were crawling through the luypi to get by the troopers were discoveied and wera al<o made prisoners. Captain O'Connell expressed himself as very well pleased witli the resuit of the forenoon’s work and gave unlimited praise to Captain Lockett for the masteriy man- ner in which he bandled the troops under his command. One of the officers at the post in discuss- ing the work of the morning said: “Oi course there 1s a difference of opinion as to whether the probiems that hauve been submitted are correct in every particular, | but be that as it may it is practical exer- cise that is bound toresult in great good | to the service. Itisexhilarating, and itis! the means of developing ideas as to how | an attack or defense should be made. The lessons so acquired will certainiy be | of service if the troops should be called out for action in earnest.”” Then headded | that it is doubiful if the troops will leave the post this year for an encampment, as there does not appear to be any appropri- ation for that purpose. He was, however, of the opinion that the men can get all the needed exercise on the Presidio reservation. b, | FRAMED picturcs, lamps, onyx tables and easeis are our specialties for mnice, reasonabie | wedding presents.
