STICKS TO THE WEST
WHOM asked this morning nH o. the
prospects for early orders Tor battery
q, Captain Jonnlnga said h. had no
idea whom such would come, but that
they could be- locked fnr nt any mo-
mont and when orders 10 move dld
come. they would occasion no surprise
and that the battery would BE- prepared
60 obey thum az once. The possibility
that battery e might be- sent east iu.
stead ~ west was mentioned by tho
"NcwH' man. ami Captain JunulnTa
replied that b. was scarcely in re- pHsi-
ton a. oven think NJ forming an uplu-
Ion on that matter, because hp was Zoe
tally In the dark ore 10 the orders which
WIN come from the ndlutnnt general.
90 far aH the particular direction the
battery would take. - may ray. how.
Governor Wells was nfat requested o.
raise this battery, the accompanying
Instructions and Information were a.
the erect that nH soon aH the recruiting
had been completed. the fact was o. be
reported nj once a. the ndiutHnt Eru-
rral, and orders would be- returned Tor
the battery 90 proceed 90 san Francisco.
The war department does not very ole
ten change lta orders, ana then only
whom something extraordinary arises ln
the way of change ~ conditions. which
IN this instance has not occurred.
Therefore I ON Inclined ln believe that
when the orders como for battery e tn
move. they will ho ln accordance with
the original plan, which was 10 Hgud
