The addition of two companies of heavy | artillery to the present garrison at the | | Presidio need not disturb the existing | order of duty so far as the infantry | companies are concerned. Colonel M. P. Miller, Third Artillery, with headquarters now at Angel Isl- and, is two days the senfor in rank of | Colonel Evan Miles, First Infantry, | now commanding the post at the Pre- sidio. The impression prevails among | the troops that Colonel Miller could Suggestionto Increase the Force | not_come to the Presidio without dis- | placing Colonel Miles as post com- of Artillerymen at the | mander. 1f both officers were station- . | ed at the garrison the senfor would be | Pregidio, | entitled to command the post, but no | 8ood reason seems to exist why an | artillery station or camp should not be | established near the mortar battery, two miles distant from the Presidio | Barracks. Much time is lost every day in taking the troops from the barracks at the | Presidio out to the heavy fortifica- | tions. The troops are brought in for | the noon meal and taken out again for | the afternoon’s work. Sooner or later | there must be a force of artillery with- | in immediate reach of the guns ap- pointed to defend the harbor. It is ad- mitted by all the military authorities that this will be done when another regiment of artillery is ordered to this | city. Four batteries of the Third Ar-| tillery could now be made very com- fortable in tents near the mortar bat- teries and 12-inch guns. The proposed review and sham bat- tle at the Presidio to-morrow ought to assemble a multitude of spectators. The evolutions will take place on the parade plain within the immediate view of the spectators. There will be no attempt to solve a problem in tactics by deploying troops on the hills of the reservation. This might be interest- | ing from a purely military point of | view, but would not afford much pleas- ure to the visitors from the city. GRAY AGAIN l!erROUBLE.

The fact is taken into consideration that the companles of | the First United States Infantry, sta- | tioned at the post, perform all the guard and fatigue duty of the garrison proper. It is said that the time of guard duty to the Infantry soldier | comes but once in a fortnight. Two days of extra duty at.the garrison dur- | ing the same pericd of time gives him three days of duty in two weeks, while the artilleryman must work eight hours a day every day in the week saving Sunday. The men of the light batteries having their own guns and horses to care for, | are not obliged to work on the fortifi- | cations, hence the burden of toil falls on the soldiers of the heavy artillery.
