The annual report of Secretary La

special interest at the present time.
The expenditures for the fiscal year
ended June 80, 1896, the appropri-
atioas for the present year, and the
estimates of amounts required for the
year beginning Jnly l, 1897, are
shown in the following statement:
The equivalent of five regiments

river and the meridian of Kansas

of artillery is serving on the Pacific
coast, one on the grlf and three on tn"

STRENGTH OF THE ARMY.

2S4 less than the number authorized
by law. Deducting the sick, those
absent on furlough, recruits not join

army on that day was 22,4S2 of al

The completion of several defensive
works and installation of their mod
ern armament at points where nt

preaching completion of other moderI
batteries, suggest the pressing need o.
larger force of arlillerists than j,
now available. The present approVet
plans of sea-coast defense involves the
establishment of upward Of 100 dis
tinct batteries, grouped in 20 or more
harbors. In each must be garrison
of sufficient strength TO take care of al
the guns and otner public property il
the harbor, and the maintenance o
all in state of efficient defense. Some
addition to the present force of a"
tillery will therefore be indispensably
necessary.

not at all improbable that he wnl visit this
