least. Aid was now coming to the hard
pressed engineer battalion, which was
~clinging desperately to its work. Company
ID OF the Sixth infantry came up the hill
on the run and, plunging into the fight on
the flank OF the engineers, they pushed
forward rapidly upon the Browns. The
latter we're speedily driven back and Com
pany A Of the Fourth cavalry was captured.
The line OF retreat was reopened, but the
Browns were coming up so strongly for a
second attack that the umpires called a
halt in order TO discuss the situation. 1t
was finally decided that the forces we're
so closely in contact that further continue
ton Of the maneuvers would simply mean
close range lighting, and at IL o'clock the
war for the day was declared over.
Convoy to he Attacked To-day.
Tomorrow's problem is to be the attack
and defense Of a convoy. The latter will
consist Of fully 100 wagons. and it is
thought that the days work will present
one Of the most interesting Of the series
Of maneuvers.
The weather tonight is about as des-
perate for field work as can we'll be i'm
agined. A cold wind is blowing at the
rate Of forty miles an hour from the north
and there are frequent showers Of heavy
rain, changing at times into sleet.
Two regiments of the Kansas National
guard, the First infantry and Second in
fantry, arrived during the afternoon and
went into camp. A battalion Of Colorado
troops, 200 strong, made up Of all arms of
the service, also arrived late in the after
noon.
The greatest pains have been taken by
General Bates to make the msneuvers in
teresting and ineligible to the officers OF
the National guard who are present. Every
morning they ride out to a point OF vantage,
near the proposed battlefield, under the
guidance of Captain William NJ. Wright,
who is provided with maps and plans OF
the why and wherefore OF everything
done. II the maneuvers are not Of decided
advantage to the officers Of the National
guard, it will be no fault Of General Bates
or of his officers.
Tomorrow Governor Stanley OF Kansas
is expected to visit the camp. He will be
met at the railroad station by a battalion
OF the Eighteenth infantry and escorted tc
camp. Lieutenant Colonel Rohshof, the
Russian military attache at Washington, is
also expected to arrive tomorrow.

Blues Open Heavy Fire.

Three times Marsh's battery changed
front on the crest and finally, as a detach-
ment OF the Brown infantry appeared upon
a crest one mile away the Blue wheeled
once more, this time to the right, and
opened a heavy fire upon the advancing in
fantry. No attempt was made at this time
nor throughout the days maneuvers, to use
the batteries with any rapidly OF fire. It
was simply designed to let the enemy know
that he was seen and that he was where the
batteries could riddle him IL they were so
disposed. The umpires figure always that
a battery is used at It's maximum efficiency
and decide points accordingly. Despite the
fact that the guns were worked slowly, as
compared with what they would be in actual
warfare. the shots came with considerable
rapidity. Suddenly. while Marsh's battery
was pounding the thin line OF Browns lying
nat upon the ridge a mile way, there came
an answering fash from a hill one mile
In the rear Of the Browns. II was their
Artillery in action in their support. A lively
artillery duel continued between the bat
teries, and occasionally In the lull Of the
loud reports Of the three-inch rifles could
be heard the sharp crack OF the Krag-Jor-
gensen, proving that the scouts Of the op-
posing forces were coming into contact.
The battalions Of engineers, acting AZ
Blue infantry, came matching up the hill
and hurried OF to the right Of the battery
where the Browns were already visible
coming on steadily through the grass. Their
advance was e~leverly made and every ad.
vantage was taken Of the ground and Of thu
tall grass, which hid a man very AT.

MANEUVERS WELL EXECUTED
Despite Rain the Engagement at F'rt Riley

BATES CARES FOR THE NATIONAL GUARD
Gives Its Officers Advantageous view,
ina Point, that They May Learn
the Lessons of the Mimic
warfare.

uNeI a SOBBy ueAu' swept at frequent lhtel-
walls by binding rain driven by a forty
mile gale, the men Of the maneuver d.
vision carried out their days program in
splendid style. The work was without a
flaw and at its conclusion the umpires
pronounced the most satisfactory under
taking that las so far been carried out in
the maneuvers.
In working out the problem Of the day
1t was presumed that a Blue force, will
headquarters at Abilene. Kan. was operat-
ing against a Brown force advancing from
the east. A division of the latter was
presumed to have already reached Stock
dale, Kan. Colonel George B. Rodney. of
the artillery corps. was in command of the
Blues and was camped on the banks Of the
Republican river on the Fort Riley res
ervation. His command comprised the
Sixth battalion of engineers acting as in
fantry, the Nineteenth, Twentieth and
Twenty-eighth batteries of field artillery
and the First squadron of the Eighth cav
airy.
The plan of the day for Colonel Rodney
was to make a demonstration in force to-
ward Stockdale to gain information Of the
| enemy, said to be about 10. 900 strong. The
Brown division was supposed to be en-
| camped near Stockdale, under the COM
mand Of James Miller OF the Twenty-sec-
ond infantry. 1t was reported TO Colonel
Miller that the command Of Colonel Rod
ney was moving north by way Of the Fort
Riley reservation. He decided to attack
and capture the Blue enemy IL possible. or
at least to drive the enemy from his direct
line OF retreat through Junction City.
Omaha daily bee., 1902-09-30
Getting Into Action.

The troops left the camp at $50 o'clock
and thirty minutes after that time the
scouts Of the Blues, under command OF Cap
tain Farber of the Eighth cavalry, were
sweeping porthward, covering a front OF
vantage at first by selling Mars Hill, the
highest point on the reservation. 1t was
in the direct line Of advance and was too
strong a position to be abandoned. It was
therefore determined to hold it firmly. One
company Of the Eighth cavalry was dis
mounted on the southern slope and ad-
vanced on the run to the summit, where
IL was employed as infantry. A few minutes
later Marsh's battery came tramping
through the long grass at headlong speed.
The horses were urged to their utmost
speed and the wheels of the carriages
bounded frequently a foot from the ground
as the battery dashed into position on the
crest. II was ready for action in a marvel
ousIy small space of time and then ensued
a wait OF nearly forty minutes before any
Of the Browns made their appearance.
Glasses were trained on the horizon to the
north and Captain Farber with his scouts
pushed straight on to the front believing
that the main force of the Browns would
be developed in that direction.
However, instead OF operating in front
Colonel Miller was marching around the
right flank of the Blues and e~ndeavoring
to gain their rear. Now and then on the
horizon line a form about one-halt the
size of a pin could be seen. These were
the Brown scouts working in toward the
right flank and rear of the Blues.
