COAST DEFENSES
Formidable Operations to Be Undsrtak by
the War Department

the war department
NEW YORK, June 30.-The Morning
Advertiser this morning says:
Within few weeks will be commenced
one of the most gigantic operations in
the history of the war department. For
tifications more powerful that those ex-
listing anywhere in the world will be
built at Fort WadsNorth and Sandy
Hook, the cost of the work being about
$40, 0O0, 900. But this is only beginning
to place New York in a position to de-
fend herself against foreign foes. Con-
struction will be continued from time to
time until the Notifications outlined by
elaborate plans are completed, and when
that is done the total cost, it is said, Will
have been about 50,0000O0.
At Fort Wadsworth the new fort will
extend a mile south of the present bar
racks, extending almost from Fort
Wadsworth to South Beach. In this tract
of land will be built continuous line of
forts, mounting twenty five gums of huge
dimensions in all. Here also it is in
tended to build torpedo station and
observatory.
The work at Fort Lafayette will not
be so important. Only fifteen guns will
be mounted there, but they alone would
go a long way toward protecting New
York from harm.
