PORTLAND'S DEFENCEs.
What Gen. Miles Proposes To Do in This
Vicinity.

Gen. Nelson A. Miles, commander-in-
chief of the army, has returned to Wash
ington from his inspection of the north
ern posts 1t is reported that as result
of his inspection he will suggest an in
crease of the artillery force at Fort
PrebIe. Fort Popham is the nearest
American fortifcation to Halifax, where
the British have great naval station.
Gen. Miles is in favor of establishing
a coast defence enplacement at Fort Pop
ham, it is said.
In the preparations of the war depart
ment for coast defence, Boston and Port
land are the only two posts that have
been considered. No guns have been pro-
vided for to protect the thickly clustered
towns of the Kennebec and Penob scot
rivers. By new arrangement Portland
harbor will have SO of the great guns that
are now in process of construction, and As
mortars.
There have been constructed 81 large
guns-15 12-inoh, IL 10-inch and 10 S-inch
and these will soon be ready to BIO
mounted.

Congress has just granted will procure a
large number of additional wagons
Speaking of the Notifications the Bos-
ton Journal says: "More real progress
will unquetionably be made this year to-
ward restoring our seacoast Notifications
to their traditional strength than has
been made in all the years which have
elapsed since the close of the Rebellion.
Congress has dealt with the matter with
an extraordinarily liberal hand, and the
army authorities have begun their work
with energy and Judgment.

Hayward's Victims.

Harry Hayward, the Minneapolis
murderer, recently hanged, left what
purports to be a written confession of
his many crimes. He says that his
first murder was that of Carrie Hass,
near Pasadena, Calf. He shot her,
and afterward threw her body into the
sea. His object was to secure some
$500 that she had. Once while tending
bar in Long Branch he killed a cen
sumtive who had money.
Then there was a Chinaman he
killed in gambling quarrel, and the
brother of Mexican girl at Paso del
Norte, and, lastly, Miss Cling. He says
his first object in life was money, girls
second and travel third.
In closing his statement Hayward
read: II haye told the truth, so help
me God, If there is II God, and if there
is he certainly won't blame me, as /
have honestly followed the dictates Of
my conscience. Don't say | am sorry,
for | am not. / have made my bed
and will lie in it without kicking.
