aircad) contracted for.
The report show that the existing

of about 60 hoavy gum of 8, 10, 12,
ami 16-Inch calibre, of about 800 rapid
fli-4 guiM, of about 1,000 mortars, at
an estimate approximate cost for the,
engineering .work of $55,000,000. M
estimate of 14,690,000 Is submitted for

of thoso batteries and for the defense
of Porto Rico. The sum of 15,603,000
was allotted by the president out of the

gineering departments. Under th
. head of fortifications General Wilson
says Uiat In addition to the thirty lo
ralltles In 'the United Stale for which
projects for permanent sea count but
terles have been made, the defenses
of several othor localities Is now un
dnr consideration. Considerable study
has been given to the subject of the
dofunsas of our Insular possessions, re
suiting in complete projects for San

Honolulu and Peart Harbor, so that
the construotlon of batteries for these
pines can begin as soon as congress

Work on sea coast defenses have
been vigorously carried on at Z5 local
ities, nearly all of which are even now
to supplied with heavy guns and mor
tars, as to permit of effective defense
ayalnvt naval attack. An Increased
rapid fire armament. General Wlls m
say, la now the most urgent necessity,
ther having been delay In securing
these guns In ho past year owing to
dlilleultles with contractors..
With the rapid growth of the coost
defenses the artillery organisation,
which must cart for them, hot been
utterly unnble to cope, and the dif
ficulty hns ben Increased by the with
drawal of two regiments for foreign
service and by the necessity for ser
vice of skilled electricians and me
chanics to care fir the highly complex
ordnance.
The work of Installing dynamlto bat
teries at Son Francisco harbor has
been completed but at Sandy Hook
provisions remain to be made for the
permanent protcotlon of tlw guns In
