COAST DEFENCEs.
The Work Thereon Soon 60 BE
Commenced.

WASHINGTON, ID. c., September 90
Especial. THE work on the for'ihcations
and sea-coast defences, for which an
expenditure OF a2.OoO.OOo has been au-
thorized by Congress. will, 1t Is said al
the War Department. soon be COM
menced. The charts and plans, upon
which the Engineer Corps OF the army
has been diligently at work ior months
are now completed. and II VIII not Dc
long before the necessary speclncatlohS
for contracts for material ana const'uc-
ton. I'm part. VIII be advertised. Much
Of the work. however. will be done by
details from the army. under the super
vision and direction OF army engineers.
one Of the first points to be placed In
a condition of admirable defence VIII be
Hampton Roads. Indeed. IL can be said
that the work of cOast-defence Is already
started there In the erection OF batteries
on the shore at Buckroe between Fort
Monroe and the bay in which some
heavy long-range. and rapid-hring guns
are being placed. Owing to the vast
importance of Hampton Roads from
military point Of view. it Is expected
that several millions OF the appropria-
ton will be expended in defences in the
vicinity of Fort Monroe.
EXTENSIVE WORKS.
The Notifications here will be on a
most extensive scale and will embrace
the heaviest gun-forts and mortar-bat-
teries and torpedo-stations of the most
modern and scientific construction. II Is
said that Fort Monroe. while not other
wise considered effective for defensive
purposes, has now one Of the best torpedo
systems in operation in the world. though
the fact Is known only to War Depart
ment experts and few army officers.
The authorities. both military and
naval, will give special attention to the
Roads. from the Capes inward. as this
magnificent harbor. large enough TO float
the combined naval fleets OF the world,
Is the roadway to Norfolk, Newport
News, Richmond. Petersburg, and, up the
bay, TO Baltimore and Annapolis. A
hostile feet that could make its way
through Hampton Roads would have all
these cities and the surrounding coun-
try at it's mercy. besides being able TO
land an army which could operate inland.
Hence the absolute necessity OF making
the defences around Hampton Roads i'm
pregnable.
OLD GUNS TO co.
In carrying out the Notifications pro-
gramme. II is contemplated by the de-
partment to dispense with all the old
smooth-bore guns. which could not be
depended upon 10 do any service against
modern ships At Fort Monroe,
there are perhaps, couple OF hundred
OF these old-time guns. which could not
be rendered available at any cost. and
they will for the most part have to be
abandoned. TO give place TO moro modern
and effective ordnance. The same will
bo the case In nearly all the other forts
on the coast, which the authorities now
contemplate strengthening The old guns
will give place 10 the new high-powered
guns on disappearing carriages. which
will be the main reliance In time OF war
The construction OF this great line OF
defences, extending along the Atlantic

time an increase OF the standing army,
and especially the artillery branch OF
