AT THE PRESIDE,
No Troops Are to Be Sent From Here to

No Troops Are to Be Sent From Here to
Montana.
Lieutenant Colonel W. NJ. Graham of the
Fifth Artillery and Commandant at the
Preside stated yesterday that there is not
the least truth in the report that orders had
been received by him from the War Depart
ment TO send a portion of the troops
stationed at the Preside to the scene of the
Indian troubles in the Bad Lands. He
added that possibly the rumor that troops
would be sent originated from some Joking
remarks that might have been made by
some of the younger officers at the post If
any troops are sent from here, said he, it
would in his opinion only be in case that
any of the Southern Indians should 60 on the
warDath and attempt to join the hOstiles in
the Bad Lands. Runners, he had been in
formed had been sent by the Sioux to the
Arapahoes, Cheyennes and other Southern
tribes asking their assistance. If these lat
ter tribes should attempt to go north then
probably the forces now stationed here
would be sent out to intercept them and
make them return to their reservations.
Eut as to sending them to strengthen Cen
eral Miles forces that he did not think was
at all probable.
There is nothing of particular interest 60
ing on at the Preside now. There has been
no target practice for four months. The
new clubhouse being built at the upper end
OF the parade ground to house the field-gunS
viii be completed in about one week. Work
is also progressing satisfactorily in mounting
the heavy guns in the newly built earth
works on the parade ground for mounted
troops. There is the usual amount of work
going on in planting trees, opening new
roads and cleaning up the grounds and
lawns. AS yet the usual fine display OF flow
ers at the Preside is somewhat backward
and the general mass of plants seems to need
careful gardening.
Horses are very badly needed for the two
troops of cavalry and also for the two Light
Batteries ID and +. About thirty new
horses ale wanted for them. A few days
ago batch Of twenty-five horses was
brought to the post for inspection and not
one OF them was up to the Government
standard. Out of the second lot sent soon
after ouly three were accepted. In the
meantime the men have so improved,
through constant practice in football and
baseball, that teams from Troop l and
Light Battery + are ready TO meet any anna
teur club in San Francisco at football and
baseball respectively.
Cavalry drill has been almost suspended,
owing to tbs d fficulty in horsing the tv o
troops, l and h, of the Fourth Cavalry,
which are stationed at the post, and the
men are indulging largely in athletic exer-
clses, such as foot anc base ball.
Five cOurt-mariias OF deserters are under
way and findings are expected shortly in
each of them.
