Kansas City, Mo, March 1s.-A special
to the Times from Junction City, Kan,
says: THE three batteries of artillery,
ordered from Fort Riley to the South, are
ready to start but a message received
here to-day stated that Lieut.. Charles G.
Greal ordnance officer Of the post, who
was on furlough in New York, cannot
reach home before Tuesday night, and
hence the guns and ammunition cannot
be taken away till he releases them He
was telegraphed yesterday to return to
Fort Riley at once. However, though
there are many rumors ahoat, there is
no reason to believe that the artillery
will be moved before at least the middle
