It Is believed that no further troops will be moved until the War Department has decided to what uses the different organizations will be put. In addition to delaying the departure of those units already under orders, the suspension of the troops movement may cause a corresponding delay In the return of those outfits not yet ordered home, which Include the First Cavalry. The organizations at present under orders are the Seventy-fourth, which was scheduled to leave February 13; the Field Bakery and Fourth Ambulance Company, scheduled to go on the 13th. and New York Division Supply Train, which was to have started tomorrow overland for San Antonio, there to entrain for home.
