WASHINGTON oct lO-Brigaiier General Joseph
C. breckenridge. Unprecedented oil the 'hi''u
States Army, has made report to the secretary
OF War indicating n condition Of affairs prevailing
In regard TO our coast defences which Is ofhcMIy
characterized as 'dsgraceful." II is shown that
almost the entire Southern coast on the Atlantic
seaboard is absolutely unprotected and at the
mercy OF "A foreign foe Forts have been allowed
10 crumble away. cannon have rustod ana cannon
carriages rotted. To quote Inspector-'eher"
breckenridge in his statement OF the matter 10
Secretary Lamont. these forts and their ornaments
now serve the single purpose. apparently. OF re-
rindinc us of the high estate from which We have
fallen and that we not well prepared Tor re-
slstance against any bold and aggressive Govern
ment"
In advance sheets furnished the Secretary OF
War OF that part OF his annual report relating 10
ungarrisoned fortihcations. General Breckenridge
says:
NO further decadence in our seacoast fortified
tions and their ornaments should be permitted
until their substitutes are in plain sight. ana to
make this certain the first step Is 70 provide all
forts occupying important sites with sufficient
garrsons. say the first step, because IL mas Deem
observed that as long as a fort has garrison 1t
is protected against the ravagcs which destroy all
abandoned structures. and the armament is kept
in some sort OF condition for use.
"As matters stand the forts are going To ruin,
and the condition OF their guns. carriages and
ordnance stores generally IS reported as disgrace
full Notwithstanding hey are included in the de-
fensve plans OF the seacoast more especially for
the operation and protection of torpedo lines
General BRECKENRIDGE will suggest to Secretary
Lamont the adoption OF certain measures toward
correcting the abuses and neglect that have placed
the Southern coast 50 absolutely at the mercy of
an enemy. He desires that estimate be made
for cleaning and clearing up the forts and sucn
repairs az viii prevent further deterioration lie
will also suggest that sufficient expenditure be
authorized to put all guns and carriages that can
be relied on. In connection with the operation Of
torpedo lines, in a serviceable condition.
