Thank OheriD gs,

When there came to the household of
the Duke and Duchess Of Portland baby
daughter some years ago, the duchess in
sisted on the dukes converting the gift
of diamonds he contemplated purchasing
for her into an hospital where the tenants
on his estate might be cared for. Now
that a son has come to inherit the name
and title, the duke has RENTED 20 per
cent of the rents of the tenants on the
Welbeck estate and has directed his
agent to prevent the carrying out of the
proposed baptismal present from the ten
nnts to the infant marquis, because in
these times such a gift would be a serious
tax on the resources Of his friends.-Ex-

MUST FORTIFY OUR SEAPORTs
General Miles Urges This in His
Annual Report.
He Says Torpedoes and Navy Cannot be
Depended Upon to Defend Our Sea
Coast of 10000 Miles and That tho
Main Reli ance Must BE In Coast Bat
terles-Other Matters.

WASHINGTON, Nov. II The annual
report of General Miles, commanding
the army, WAS made public to day. The
personnel Is shown to be in excellent
condition, we'll instructed, efficient and
attentive to duty. Liberal appropria-
tions are required for public buildings
az the posts, many of which are out Of
repair. General Miles believes that the
peaceful conditions now existing among
the various Indian tribes is largely at-
tributable to tho presence OF troops at
suitable points.
Under tine head Of coast defonse Con-
eral Miles states that the condition OF
these defenses Is such as to require de-
cided and Immediate action Tor their
improvement. The unguarded condition
OF our coast is known by every first class
power and our people should not be led
into false security.
He says that our people cherish two
misleading delusions, FIRST that tor
pedoes can be depended on to protec.
our coasts; and, aecond, that its 40. 600
miles Of coast cln be defended by q
navy. Ha SHOWS that torpedo plants are
useless without protective batteries, and
that the water In our principal harbors
Ia so deep that light draft warships
might pass over torpedo guns without
danger.
He asserts that recent mannuvres In
England have shown that even the
powerful British navy Is unable to
defend the British coast against a
foreign fleet; therefore. he argues, TIL {
the main reliance must be upon coast
batteries While he does not anticipate
war in the near future. he shows ehat,
in lho last eco years, in less than ten
per cant. of the wars has there boon
any formal declaration before hostile
ties, and it would require years Of time
to constructs modern weapons of war,
and 1T would be unwise to disregard the
leasons Of history.
In our own country for nearly two
hundred years there has never heen p
reriod OF thirty-fve years In which it
has not bean involved in war. He points
to the case Of China, which made the
fatal mistake OF relying upon its vastly
superior nu N bers for safety and argues
that the best guarantee of peace is a
condition OF readiness for war.
Therefore he strongly recommends
the construction OF all the high power
guns and system OF defenses called for
In the general plan Of the board of ordi-
nance and Notifications and other
boards and to meet in part the expense
OF this costly undertaking he suggests
the application OF the funds that might
be derived from the sale of abandoned
military reservations.

CUBA AND The UNITED STATES
President Palma Will Visit Wash
ington Soon
40 orge on Congress tho Most Desirable
Policy to Pursue-Cubans Do Not Now
Want Boliigerent Rights, But Will Urge
That the United States Put an End to
the Revolution.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 1l-President
Thomas Estrada Palms, the head of the
Cuban revolutionary party, will come
to Washington within the next few
days 1t is expected that his visit will
result in more definite line of policy
regarding what Cubaus will suggest or
urge upon Congress as the most desira-
Die course for the United States to
adopt. Mr.. Palma is not only president
OF the American branch of the Cuban
organization, but he has recently re-
ceived a commission from tho insurgents
governments in Cuba constituting him
their official representative in tho
Uniled States.
under these circum stances move
ment is on foot to have Mr.. Palma
remove his headquarters from New
York 10 Washington in order to be near
the seat OF government while the Cuban
question is under consideration. This,
however, Is matter for future consid-
GRAFTON, as his coming visit will be
temporary. Thus far the policy of the
Cuoans has been toward securing from
the United STATES recognition of the
bellizerent rights of the insurgents.
NOW, however, there is an influen-
tlal element against this course. They
say 1t would prove disastrous to Ameri-
can shipping, as 1t would permit Spain
10 selze American merchant shius, sus-
pected OF carrying contrsband goods on
the nigh seas, whereas these seizures
cannot be made at the present time
outside the three mile limit OF the
cuban coast. Instead Of recognition to
the Insurgents. it Is being urged that
the United States should take steps to
put an end to the revolution in Cuba.
The report that General Masso had
been commissioned to come to Wash
ington in behalf OF the insurgents is
regarded 90 untrue by those best in
formed OF the course OF the Cuban
leaders.

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, Nov, 11.-News
OF the sinking at sea and the loss OF

the dense fog which has prevailed in

misunderstanding Of fog signals led to
