General Newton is of the opinion that
the sum of 500, 900, 600 will place the
sea coast of the United States in COM
plete condition OF defence. The torpedo
boat figures largely in this modern plan
of defence. A few first. class war vessels
to guard the principal ports, feet Of
swift steam cruisers, heavy guns mounted
on strong Notifications at little distance
from our principal cities, and an efficient
torpedo service, would, in General New
tons estimation, make our coast impreg.
nable to any invading force the world
can send against us. All this can be
done by the expenditure OF 500, 600, 600,
which is a little more than our annual
surplus revenue.
