REPORT OF THE CHIEF OF ENGINEERS
TIE NEED FOR BETTER COAST DEFENCEs EST
MATES FOR RIVER AND HARBoR
IMPROVEMENTS


IMPROVEMENTS
WASHINGTON. Nov. 1.-THE annual report OF Cen
eral Craighl. chief Of engineers. to the Secretary
Of War. has been made public. The Board has pre-
pared projects for the artillery defence of Phla-
dephia Key West. San Diego. the mouth of the
Columbia River. Galveston and Puget Sound. In
addition projects for the submarine mine defence
OF various places have been prepared or revised
and nearly all have received the approval Of the
Secretary OF War. As illustrating the backward
ness Of the work Of coast defence, General Craig
hill cites the case Of Portland Me. where the pro-
iec calls for thiry-eight guns OF large cabre and
fortv-cight mortars while emplacements are being
built for only three guns. and of New-fork. where
the project calls for forty-ive guns and l76 NOR
tars. while emplacements are built or building for
eleven guns and thirty-two mortars. He shows
that tho work Of fortlfylrg orr coasts has
barely been entered upon.
General Cragh!l attaches much Importance TO
the defence c. forts by submarine mines supple
mentng the artillery deferce. with the small
funds in hand he has completed twenty-five case
mates for the defence OF the Atlantic coas, and
San Francisro. and IS about 10 undertake. the
construction o. AT Galveston
The Appropriation for the preservation and re-
pair Of iortihcators Is entirely inadequate. lie
suggests an increase OF appropriation from Aoe

acquisti1n Of sites for coast defences was eN-
hauSted al NafIdSanSet bay, bdltihO'f am
Charleston. ne requests an additional appropriation
OF $4,000 for the procurement OF other sites.
He submits in detail his estimates for river and
harbor improvements. which. under the administra-
ton Of his predecessor, General Casey. were al
ways withheld from the public. The financial
statement shows that there was expended on rivers
and harbois during the last fiscal year 'exciusiVe

total FOR the last two years &09ei0S4. The esti-
mate for the next two years Is Sl,0l6157 Gen
eral Craighlll emphasizes the fact that his esti-
mates only for work whose plans have already

priations have been previously made and the
amount in each case has been carefully considered
in the expectation that II would not be reduced

STATE POLITICAL NOTES.

There is a growing conviction in the minds Of the
best-iuformed politicians that the chairman Of the
Senate Committee Cit IS will not be the Senator
from the Nyack district. To be sure, the Boss
would like 10 have city bills committed to Mr..
Lexow's keeping. and. doubt will make every
effort have this done. but the belief is gaining
ground that the chairman of the Committee on
cities viii be Frank D. Pavey, of New-YOrk. His
selection would certainly be in accordance with the
desire OF good Republicans. and would give general
satisfaction 1t would certainly be In the best inter-
ests Of the party, and OF the State.

THE GULF SHORE CASE.
How the Road Was Built and Who
Put Up the Money.

The case of the San Antonio and Gulf
Shore Raj way company against William
Davis ct al, for contempt, was resumed in
the Forty-ffth District court yesterday
afternoon.
Captain Davis stated that he signed the
mortgage TO the Pittsburg Locomotive
company. He said he deposited the bonds
with the Mercantile Trust company, sub
Ject to the order of John Scott or William
Davis. lie said the Construction company,
consisting of MeSsrs. Dullnig, Engelke,
Ireland and Scott, furnished the money
to construct the road. as the Gulf Shore
Railway company has never had the
money or the credit to do the WORK, ana
that the only money the railroad COM
pany has had came from the sale Of &c.
CO OF stock, which was spent for charter.
fees, right. Of way, ETC. The cost of con-
struction and equipment of the road thus
far, including the grade to Stockdale,
been furnished by the Construction
refused the use of the depot grounds to,
Clifford and others before the Injunction,
because the ground upon which the depot
is located is not the property of the rail-
way company, but was bought by indi-
viduals, who agreed to sell certain por-
tion of 1t to the company.
DIR. j. Il. King, treasurer OF the rail-
road company, said he drew s1S for ex-
peDses for himself during the time sub
scriptions were heing solicited and that he
told Captain Davis what the money was
for. He denied having received $40 for
expenses.
George Dullnig stated that the Fifth
National bank advanced the money to the
construction Company with which to pay
for the railroad track and rolling stock
and that the Construction company has
never delivered the property to the rail-,
way company. He said the railroad COM
pany hasn't got cent and he believes
all the debts made for construction and
equipment were made by the Construction
company.
Mike Davis testified that he has been
agent for the Construction company since
last week and that he has exclusive con-
troll OF the depot, grounds, yards and en-
gineS for the Construction company.
Mr.. III. o. Engelke stated that the rail-
road company is indebted S4,C)O or So
coo to the bank for checks and that they
have eco bonds of the Gulf Shore Railway
company. He said that the bonds are
transferred to the Construction company
and that the latter company has turned
them over to the bank In payment for
work already done. The bonds are now
subject to Mr.. Engelke's order.
