troops were then permitted to go to their
camp sites.
Lieut. Cornelius Vanderbilt has relieved
the members of the 10Th Regiment of New
York city of the duties of policing the
camp and digging bitches. He discovered
tent of Col. Dyer this morning, and, as
sisted by Lieut.. H. H. Rogers, jr., captured
the entire force. The prisoners had played

Arrival Of Troops.
From early Saturday morning until late
last night the trains bearing the troops OF
the militia regiments that are to partici-
pate In the maneuvers were unloading their
hordes of men of blue and brown. At both
Thoroughfare and Manassas the arrange

to the letter. The first of the militia to ar

18th New York followed and went to Thor
oughfare, and then came the 14th New
York, bound for Manassas, followed by the
y,
which continued through to Thoroughfare.
The New York cavalry and Connecticut in
fantry and artillery arrived next, and then
the rush of trains commenced. Every half
hour of the night, and as frequently yester-
day and last night, troop trains moved
slowly by the press camp each loaded to
the very platforms with the militiamen who
will receive their strenuous lessons in war
fare during the week. BY orders from the
corps commander, through the chief quar-
termaster of the maneuver corps, each
commanding officer was required to desig-
nate an experienced officer to act as quar-
termaster, who would take charge of and
superintend the entraining of their COM

were expected have not arrived. Today the
work of getting the kinks out Of the
muscles of the militiamen was taken up IN
earnest at reveille. The troops were out of
their tents and on the drill field this morn
ing. The brigade commanders were the
busiest men In camp, organizing and SUI
perintending the placing Of their COM

arrival the colonies of each of the militia
regiments paid their respects to their re-

PLANS UNDER DISCUSSION.
Military Observers at Virginia Camps
on Maneuvers.

By Associated Press.
CORPS HEADQUARTERS. GAINES
VILE. Va September 5.-How hostilities
are to begin at midnight tonight is the pre-
vaiIing discussion among the military OBJ
servers at headquarters. The belief Is en-
tertained that the Brown army, under
General Bell, charged with the duty of
holding Thoroughfare Gap, will assume the
aggressive, move rapidly toward Manassas
and Illustrate, If possible, the advance of
the Blue army, under General Grant. 1t
seems certain in any event that the action
will begin and the war be on at midnight
without the loss of a minute.
The termination of each day of manuev-
ers has been fixed at 3 o'clock pm. Corps
headquarters were deserted early today by
General Corbin and his guests. The general
spect the newly arrived militiamen. Yes
terday he did this duty at Manassas. The
military observers and GUESTS were fur
nished cavalry horses, and roamed at will
over the maneuver zone, some going to the
camps of the hostile armies and others
studying the country from military stand
point. a.
Troop trains continued to arrive during
the night and early morning, and camps

appearance than on Saturday morning. New
tent cities had sprung up among the hills
and military patrols and sentinels had been

train is in, SO far as the military situation
is concerned. The rules of the game pre-
vent an attack by either army on the camp
of the other, consequently both will have to
move out and take. up positions. Should
General Bell not assume the aggressive he
undoubtedly will take up position for de-
fensfve operations and throw out outposts
as soon as he is permitted to move.
Regimental and brigade drills were or
dered by both division comma ders this
morning. Outposts consisting of one-sixth
of the force in each command were sent
out and relieved frequently during the day
IN order that the men might get practice
In this work before tomorrow. The final
suggestions of Colonel Wagner, chief UNI

In the form of a general order They en-
phaslze the necessity of making the ma
neuvers conform to conditions of acutal
warfare.

the prevention of actual collisions between
the opposing forces also is emphasized

100 yards of each other they are to cease

Concern in the Maneuvers.
Another twenty-four hours and the classes
In the school of practical military ma
neuver for the term of 1904 will be at their
work. The term is short and there is much
to be done. In establishing this great
school, with its thousands of pupils, the
United States government has endeavored
10 bring on common ground certain ele-
ments of gil the forces on which 1t may be
forced to depend for its strength. While
there are but $4,000 troops actually on this
field. the students who are assembled for
their studies represent a constituency or
five times that number.
The actual number of militia and regular
troops who will derive benefit from this set
of maneuvers Is difficult to determine In
addition to the representative regiments
battaiions and companies from the various
military organizations of the east, north
and south that are on the field in force,
there are hundreds Of officers OF other or

troops will represent two different armies
at war, but, unlike actual war. both can
succeed in their tactical exercises. though
one may be driven back and the other
marched forward. There is a military way
of retreating as well as military way of
advancing.
In the particular problem that will be
given to the troops for solving one army
is supposed to have reinforcements with
in easy reach. The reinforcements are
supposed to arrive at certain stage of
the work and they are to be put into bat
tie formation and advanced to take the
places of the men who have fought all
day. Thus that particular army will have
that much advantage and will operate
with certain confidence, based on its re-
sources. The other army is a part Of an
army that will be able to receive rein
forcement and accomplish it's purpose
only by leaving open way for the re-
mainder of its force to come up to the FIR
ing line.
No part Of this additional force can reach
the advance division however In time to
assist in overcoming it's opponent; but for
the success OF the army represented by the
advance 1t Is absolutely necessary that q

each movement of the troops will mean
two problems, the one for one body and
the other for that which opposes. The
first force will move to the attack and the
second will stand on the defense. There
are prescribed rules for the execution of
all movements of the troops In these po-
sitions. and in these fields the errors of
the tactics are discovered and different
methods of interpreting the rules or
movements are developed.
Problems to Be Solved.

it is the prettiest and neatest town of
