The Blues and the Browns Seek- ing to Fird Out Strength and Movements. | Practical I' ustration cf the Manner in Which Batteries Are Brouzht | Into Action. There was a problem in minor tactics on the Presidio reservation yesterday in which the blues fizured on one side and the browns figured on the other. The proposition was thai each side should move from opposite directions with a view to bave the reconnoitering force f-om each side discover the strength, position and movemsnts of the other and report to the commander in or- der that commands for attack or defense could be given. The blues, consisting of light batteries C and F and troops B and I, were under command of 'Captain Ramsay D. Potis, and the browns, consisting of five com- | panies of infantry, were under the com- mand of Captain John J. 0'Connell. Both commands left the parade grounds in front of their respective barracks at the same time—8:45 o'clock in the morning— ior the field of action, which was tne di- versified country between the mouth of Point Lobos Creek and First avenue. The nue and Broadway, thence along the road on the southern line of the reservation, | and then turned into McDowe!l avenue at | First, and thence along roads leading to | the west in the airection ot the forufica- | tions, while the artillery fellowed and | went as far as First avenue. Thi«long | detour was taken in order to give the in- | fentry an opportunity to march west to a point near the fortitications which was to | be its base of operation. The cavalry—that is, the main body— got under cover of the woods on the northwest of Golf Hill, and then sent out mounted scout< in various directions to watch for the advance of the scouis of the intantry. Under orders each man moved lorward, revolver in hand, ready to resent any attack that might be made. When | the two batteries of artiliery, four guns each, reached Firs: avenue, a halt was cailed, and three mounted troovers were | sent out by Captain Fotts te discover the infantry, which was expected along at | any moment, and to report the strencth of ‘the men discovered and their move- ments. Off the scouts went at breakneck pace, and then a dozen or more mounted iroopers were sent out in open order across the open country to watch for the arrival of the enem In the meantime one of the batieries was piaced in position at the eastern end of the open country in such a manner as to command the vari- ous approaches to the teiritory it occu- pred. The caissons were sent to the rear, and after the guns had been bronght to bear on the several points desired, the horses | were unhitched and taken to the resr and | the men took their positions by their pieces. These scveral movements were well executed, showing that the men were well drilied, and it gave a very clear ex- | emplification cf how a battery goes into action. The oither batiery was posted on the road leading south from the First- | avenue gate. Tue men and pieces were to a great ex- tent under cover, yet they had command of territory for a’d:stance of about 1400 yards to the north and west. The batter- les in place, the men in position and a number of mounted scouts moving here and tbere, darting in and out smoug, (he trees or moving cautiously tnrough the shrubbery, presented a pretty military victure. While the artillery was being placed in position, which 1n the judement of the commanding officer was t e best under the circumstances, the inantry was ad- vancing 10 its base of operations. Having reached tiis point the movements were then in extended order, but before they hud proceeded far the scouts of the eav- alry discovered some of the infantry scouts, and, seeing that they had a zood oprortunity to open fire on the approach- ing enemy. did so, to the detriment of the browns. Upon hearing the fire the main body of infantry raliled to the defense of the fortifications, while a squad was de- ployed by the left flank to gain a point from which the desired information as to the blues conid be obtained. Down daie and up dale and through brush and un- dergrow h the men advanced to a point from which they had a full view of the blues, and, while out of view themseives, | were 'in_such positions that they would | bave had no difficulty in picking off ina moment the entire line of mounted troop- ers who formed a skirmish line in the open couniry. These troopers added dramatic effect to the piciure already alluded to, but they were in an exceed- ingl fe place, being less than 600 yards from the scoutsand entirely at their mercy. One of these men being asked what he was doing in that exposed position re- pied: “L was posted here.”” “Bit don't you see that you are in the direct line of fire from the browns?’ *‘I know that,” replied the trooper, as he winked one eye, *‘but if it was actual wariare you wouldn’t catch me here; you'd see me scooting for cover, and 1 wouldn’t be losing any time, eithe After tbe placing of the batteries two of the three mounted scouts who had been sent cut with instructions to watch for and report as to the approach of the in- fantry returned st a gallop, and riding up to the commanding officer reported that | they had discovered a troop of cavalry on a certain part of the field and proceeded to tell of their actions and numbers when they were stopped with the information that they had discovered men of their own side, and after receiving further instruc- tions they rode off in the direction whence they came, their companions of the bat- tery exclaiming s they flew past, “You're all rizht; youn found men who wouldn't hurt you.” Aside from this little incident the pre- sentation of the problem and its explana- tion was very good, viewed from a mili- tary point of view, and wasa good prac- ticai lesson for the officers and men who took part in it. One result of the working out of the problem was the demonstration of th- superioriity of the cavairy branch of the service for reconnoitering pur- poses. The men on horseback can go a mile or two away from the main body of the army to obtain iuformation, while the infantry can go but a few yards without resting or fear of being lost 1n the woods ‘when in a strange country. Another result was-tbe placing of the artillery where it could have done good service and the demonstration that the infantry, when well direcied, can, under cover, advance and do good work in re- connoitering. The object of the browns yesterday was 1o find oyt abott the blues, and they did it. They reported to the com- manding officer, who, in turn, reported to his superior.

De Moress was not satisfied with the re- suit, and deciared that nothing but the sight of blood wculd pac:fy him. When the two men went to work this morning De Moress, who had been hit over the head with a chair by Talbot yesterday, repewed hostilities by doing the same thing that bad caused the original trouble. Afier a few heated words De Moress drew a razor from his pocket, and in an instant made several very serious cuts right across Taibot's face. There was a struggle, and every time he 2ot the chance De Moress made a fresh cut on Talbot’s head until the boy’s face was literally in pieces. They were sep: rated by other workmen and De Moress | escaped, while the injured Ind was taken to the hospital anda attended to. De Moress was arrested a little later by Ser- | zeant Hodgkins and is charged with as- sault to murder.
