LIEUTENANT sTEERE's BATTLES.
Lieutenant Steere had such good sue
cess with the battle exercises at San
Pedro recently that he has outlined q
still more ambitious problem for the 7th
inst. A larger number of men will go
down, and an ambulance service will be
added. The Gatling gun will also be
taken along, and be used in the attack,
and careful record kept of the per-
centage of its hits on silhouette target,
representing Gatling gun with its de-
tachment.
The problem that will be attempted
is this: A large force has been in the
vicinity of San Pedro and having with
drawn, leaves small rear guard with a
Gatling gun, in observation. The rear
guard, relying upon information which
was deemed correct, knows OF no force
approaching. The attacking force
reaches San Pedro by special train early
In the morning and succeedsin in capturing
two OF ihe enemy's scouts. The force ia
at once put in march in the direction
where the enemy's position is supposed
to be, and is discovered unexpectedly,
taking them at a disadvantage and COM
pelling them to hastily take the defen-
sive on ground bad for defense. The
