WASHINGTON, Oct. 28.-Gen. H. G..
Wright, Chief Of Engineers Of the L. S.
A.. in his annual report, gives a de-
tailed account OF the condition and
needs Of all our Notifications on
the subject Of seacoast defense.
The report says the defense Of the
United States against a maritime attack,
for many years, must depend on the finish
ing of the Barbette batteries, designed
long ago, but with such notifications as
will adap. them TO the reception Of the
tBelve-incb rided gun recently proposed,
with its enlarged carriage, and at the
same time give greater security to mag
azines; also, that it will be necessary
70 make without delay and apply
one system Of t~0rpedoes to all harbors.
Bomb proof electrical operating rooms,
and deep masonry galleries extending
therefrom to the low water line, are need
ed for that purpose. Our unprepared-
ness Cor war is shown, and il is stated that
however powerful in numbers and valor
our army may be, without the aid Of fortl-
fcations and their accessories, they can
not prevent the destruction OF our sea-
board cities by the ships Of a maritime
foe. That while reliance can be had in no
other mode Of defense, q defense by fortiti-
cations or torpedoes is the most efficient,
the most enduring and the least expensive.

be implicated in this business. During
the investigation and trial Of the cases it
was noticed that the defense had impor-
tant information as early az the Govern
ment itself, and this led to an examination,
which, it is said, disclosed the fact that the
clerks were betraying Department secrets.
The scandal involves some quite promi-
nent officers Of the Department.
