The Blues got away from Brownsville on Tuesday afternoon, although Captain Cutchins, earlier in the day, had telegraphed Adjutant-General W. S. Sale that the railroads would not have the equipment ready until the following day. The squadron, however, is making excellent time, in spite of the fact that 132 horses are being brought here on the train, which will necessitate many stops for the purpose of exercising and watering the animals.

The Blues departed today for Brownsville, arriving at 9:13 o'clock yesterday afternoon. Arrived at Houston at 1:30 o'clock this morning, and leave for New Orleans at 5:30 o'clock. Expect to arrive there at 10 o'clock tomorrow morning, and leave in the afternoon.

Captain Edwin P. Conqueet, commending the Signal Corps, wired yesterday as follows:
"Signal Corps arrived at New Orleans at 2:30 o'clock. Leave at 9:30 o'clock. Good trip for far. Men and animals well."

Adjutant-General Sale received a telegram yesterday from Captain W. F. Griffith, of the Engineer Corps, to the effect that the company had left San Antonio at 1:30 o'clock on Tuesday. This would put the company in good condition.  Signal Corps and engineers here practically at the same time.
