eral Parry's command, comprising the
Second, Twelfth and Twenty-frst reg
ular infantry, the First and Second
Kansas Infantry, and the Tenth and
Eighth Cavalry, had a sharp taste of
the pleasures of actual campaigning
last night. They marched out and
bivouacked in the open for the maneu-
vers of today and sleeping last night
in the open was very chilly PROPOSE
ton. This morning it took the men
fully an hour to get the numbness out
Of their bodies after rolling out Of their
blankets.
The exercise today was the most
ambitious of the entire series, and in
respect to the distance involved, it was
fully up to any usual days work in
time of actual warfare. General Bar
rvs force was supposed to be advance
ing from the south and General Bells
army, much smaller in numbers, was
out to make a reconnaissance in force.
General Barry, learning Of this,
promptly moved to attack General Bell
and the result was what the military
. critics term "a contact of all opposing
forces of all arms General Bell in
the action, labored under the disad-
vantage Of having all his plans known
to the opposing commander. Two days
General Bell and General Barry sup
posed that they would be on the same
, side of the problem and General Bel
i, in making an inspection of the ground
over which he was to operate, took
General Barry with him and discussed
