outlay to remodel the Notifications she
thought were impregnabIe, she is doing
now what the Americans did in the be-
ginning-strengthenin her naval feet.
Hitherto one modern vessel for the flag
ship and q few ships that were of little
or no effectiveness were considered sutti-
cient for the British feet on the Pacific
station; but be ore long Rear Admiral
Henry St. B. B. Palliser, the commander
OF the feet, will have a powerful squad
ron of large and small vessels under his
command
At present he has the Imperieuse, a
tirst-class twin-screw arnored cruiser of
S4OO tons register end carrying fourteen
guns, which is his flagship. She is at
present lying at Vancouver but is ex-
pected at Esquimalt any day. Besides,
there is the Amphion, a second class twin
screw cruiser of 1900 tons register and
carrying ten guns, and the steel torpedo
boats Nos. 80 and 40, that are housed-in ct
Esauimalt but ready for instant service.
Built for great speed, these little craft are
capable of Intlicting fearful damage to
hostile fleet
WhIe these are all the ships actually
here, heavy endorsements are on the
any day. These vessels are the Leander
and Phaeton, sister ships to the Amphion
In every respect; the Pheasant, first
class screw gunboat of 755 tons, and the
Sparrowha@k and Viraso, twin-screw
torpedo-boat destroyers, making in all
most formidable feet.
Several 9-inch rif1ed guns, with a range
OF four and half miles, have recently
been delivered at the EsquimaIt naval
station, and it is purposed to replace the
6-inch guns mounted at McCauley Point
and Rod Hill with these in the near
future.
The two shore batteries are in charge OF
sixty men of the Royal Marine Artillery
and forty men of the Royal Engineers.
They are drilling the provincial militia in
the use OF these guns, and in case of
emergency the latter would be called
upon for service.
The two fortifications are most leal-
ously guarded and no civilian is allowed
to approach anywhere near. A heavy
barbe - ire fence entirely surround. both
batteries, and within the inclosure q line
OF sentries stand guard day and night
with loaded rifles to keep trespassers
away.
Such thing as q camera is not toler-
ated within gunshot of either post. Even
al the naval station the utmost care is
manifested that no Objectionable person
enters the grounds. At the gate one is
met by Jaunty sentry, who, upon hear
ing request for permission to visit the
grounds, disappears in the barracks and
soon returns with a register in which the
visitor must write his name and address.
Another marine is summoned, and taxing

mittee of the House. sail: Wherever
there are great blocks of population on
the coast, and in the event of war black
mail could be levied, protection has been
or will be provided. This can be done
without very great additional expendi-
ture."
Senator Hawley, chairman of the Sem
ate Military Committee, said: "a liberal
appropriation must be made for coast de-
lenses. 1 think S., 900, 600 for engineering
work will be appropriated, and adequate
appropriation for the building of guns be
made. In addition, some 100 artillery
men are absolutely needed to take care of
the high power guns now being erected"
Senator Mcbride of Oregon said: In
my judgment the policy for providing for
coast defenses should be continued I
believe it would be wise policy TO au-
thorlze contracts ana make appropria-
tlons sufficient to complete the entire sys-
tenn OF coast defenses hitherto projected,

the main attractions.
Esquimalt consists of two harbors, the

Compilation of the Work of Erect
ing Needed Fortifications.
NEW YORK. Dec 5.-The Washing
ton correspondent OF the Herald tele-
graphs: The libsrality heretofore shown
by Congress in providing for the navy
and coast defense will probably be lacking
during the coming session. Mem bers of
both houses with whom l have talked be-
lieve the increase of the navy will be linn
tied to one battle-ship and few torpedo
boats, and some, in Wow of the armor
controversy. think even battIe-ship will
not be authorized. Leading members of
the House believe the expenditures for
coast defenses should be reduced on the
ground that the receipts from the Ding
ley law will not permit of large appro-
priations.
There is no doubt that two regiments
will be added to the artillery arm of the
military service. and it is generally con-
ceded that 1000 enlisted men at least will
be added to the navy. 1t is not likely
that all Of the docks recommended bv
Secretary Long will be authorized 1t

plant will be established

said to-day: The armor plate contro-
versy will have 8 discouraging effe CT

the navy. We must effect a settlement
OF that question during the coming ses-
sion and appropriate sufficient money to

Senator Chandler. Republican mem

can buy armor at reasonable cost. | am
opposed to the establishment of a Govern
ment plant, but l will strenuously fight

In former years battery had been
planted on the open bluff at Victoria, four
miles from EsquimaIt. but the guns had
become obsolete and the location being
TOO much exposed the battery was aban-
doned.
McCauley Point was chosen for the ini-
tial work and on the extremity sweeping
the entrance to both harbors and facing
the American shore, q miles to the south,
a battery of three 6-inch rifled guns, with an
effective range of 5000 to 1000 yards. was
planted. This completed, another battery
OF two guns similar in every respect TO the
first was planted on ROD Hill, on the west
side OF Esquimalt harbor. Both batteries
were mounted OF disappearing carriages
and commanded every inch of the ap-
proach to the naval station.
In addition TO these batteries the outer
harbor was carefully charted for a system
of torpedoes, and large mum Der of these
deadly submarine mines were stored at
the station with their anchors, ready to be
placed at an nours notice.
Not content with these defenses a sur
reptitious invasion of American water S
was made and soundings taken and

land as near to the American shore as 1t
was dared to approach from the boundary
line between Washington and British
| Columbi south toward Marrowstone
Point at the entrance to Port Townsend
harbor. and then west along the straits to
Cape Flattery. These soundlEgs and
charts are now in the possession of the
British authorities ready for use In case
OF emergency. Should there be an out
break between the two countries the Brit
ish could plant torpedoes well over On the
American side at short notice.
With the completion of this work there
was a cessation of preparations, ber
jesty's war and naval leaders believing
that it would be many years before the
United States could hope to cope with
such a complete system Of defense. But
while Uncle Sam paid little or no atten-
ton to shore batteries, he was putting up
some marine engines of war that, when
completed. brought the British to sud-
den realization that their much-vaunted
fortifcations were of as little use as
though they had been demolished by an
enemy.

BRITISH CRUISER WARSPlTE
of the Knd on the Coast

The completion OF the coast-defense
vessels Monterey and Monadnock, with
their 10 and IL inch guns, capable of
throwing shells from beyond the line of
the inner system of torpedoes clear over
McCauley Point TO the naval station,
caused the first feeling of unrest, but the
British contented themselves with the
thought that the monitors were not
capable of going TO sea and would only
serve to guard San Francisco harbor.
When, however. not only one, but both.
made the cruise to Puget Sound and
proved them selves to be most excellent
sea-going craft, the uueasiness deepened
into alarm. whicn was BY no means less
ened when the great battle ship Oregon
was added to the American feet IN Pacific
waters.
But this was merely the beginning.
Congress, In addition to providing for
more ships for the Pacific feet, thought il
high time TO offset the British naval sta
ton by establishing a similar station on
Puget Sound. 1t cast about for a suita Bile
!oca lion, and finally selected Port
Orchard, well within American territory
and lar beyond any danger of attack.
Here the initial step was taken by the
building of big drydock, and plans were
prepared for fully equipped navy-yard.
Before the full significance of this move
dawned upon the British authorities Con.
gress began an elaborate system of coast
defense. and in pursuance of this last
plan decided to plant a powerful battery
under the very muZzles of the guns at
Esquimalt. Marrowstone Point, al the
entrance to Port Townsend harbor. was
selected as the site for this battery, and n
better choice could not have been made.
Barely thirty miles from Victoria, this
battery. when completed, will not only
guard the entrance to the harbor, but Will
effectually block any attempt of hostile
fleet to get up the sound to the Port
Orchard Navy-yard and levy tribute on
the rich cities of Seattle and Tacoma. 1t
also guards the inside passage and the
straits as well.
Work has been begun on this fortifica.

Warrick Must Support His Wife. :,

General Sessions Court this morning
had desertion case for trial. James H,
Warrick was the defendant and Laurd
Warrick, his wife, the prosecuting witt
ness whose interests were looked after BY
Deputy Attorney General Peter L. Cooper.
Walter II. Hayes appeared for Mr.. War;
rick. The parties are colored and respeeJ
table. Mrs. Warrlck is an intolliganY
woman and in relating to the court he'll
husbands brutal treatment and jealopS
disposition, displayed considerable nerj
vousness. realizing the position she was
In. She said she had been married nina
teen years, during which period Mr.. War;
rick had left her four times, on one ocoa.
sion staying five years.
Their difficulties were afterward settled
but Warwick left her again in March Of
last year, and has not been living with nor
supporting her since. Mrs, Warriok
told Mr. Hayes that she was willing to
live with her husband providing he would
not abuse her, but as he had made such
promises before she was afraid to trust
him. Miss Sadie NJ. Staats and Miss Lucy
l.. Graves two other respectable and
well dressed women told of the
own defense, told of leaving his wife bHs
cause she went to the theatre with another
man. He was. however, willing to for-
give her and would support and live with
her IL the court so permitted.
MIR. Hayes wanted the court to so dis
pose of the case but Mr.. Cooper thought
The defendant should be admitted to bail
and argued to that end. The court ORDER
ed the husband TO enter into reoognizance
to the amount of $500 to pay Mrs. WarrioE

be annullcd should the couple lived to-
