Furthermore, the various changes < ffected and iu coun m- plation are the direct result of General M iles’ recent visit to the Pacific coast It is the intention of the war depart ment to make San Francisco the largest and most important m ilitary poet on the entire slope. The plan agreed upon lucludt-a many change«. Hereafter the Presidio is to be regarded merely us headquarters for the post officers sud a detachment of laud foroes, instead of a rendezvous for the principal detach ments assigned to the post. The assignm ent of bigh-power guns to this station has rendered necessary the selec tion of elevated and advantageous sites, such as Lime point, Point Lobos and Point Bonita, fur their mounting, tn- ■?ead of the low ground at the Presidio. One of the chief features of tthe pro posed improvements for the defense of this port w ill be the establishm ent of au eutireiy new station on the Mann- ouunty shore. The almost natural earthworks hack of Point Lobos, on the ban Francisco shore, are to be mounted w ith six or eight of the bigb-power guns and another powerful battery is to be located at Lake Merced. These, acting with the already pow erful battery of dynamite guns and 16- inch high power nfl«*s mounted near the Presidio, are considered sufficient by General Miles aud Colonel bhafer to take care of auy hostile squadron.
