New York, April 20-At Fort Wads-
worth, one of the protectors of New
York harbor Is the most perfect system
of defense to be found along our coast
1t is in fact the typical artillery station,
the model fort of the country. Devel-
opment of our coast defenses has been
of slow progress, and the work at differ
ent fortihcatlons Is even now in q far
from perfect state. This does not mean
that the forts are not ready to repel
an enemy, because the toughest en-
placement with a gun well mounted be-
hind It would be ready for that work.
But 1t means that the details of all of
the Notifications are incomplete. Fort
Wadsworth is the only point at which
the system of defense has been worked
out nearly to point of modern per-
lection. and II Is really even now the
model for all the fortihcatIons along
our coast line.
1t consists OF three separate batteries
or groups of guns-one battery of five

Under this system you see how per-
fectly the fort commander controls the
guns. II hostile fleet approaches, he
can detect 1t from his elevated station

of the harbor which lies before him he
can direct that these guns be turned
against certain target or ship. The
fire commanders will transmit his order
to the position finding officers, who will
indicate the position and range to the
group commanders. Then the guns will
be aimed and fired.

and allowance in aiming the gun must
be made for range, for change of posi-

by stop watch. and every second of time

The real cause of this rebellion. as
that of 1872, is seid to be the hatred felt
by the natives for the friars. The move
ment for freedom was organized by the
patriot francesca Venezuela, a Mestizo.
There We're several skirmishes Ia the
mountain villages and outlying islands
in August and September. This leader
was captured later. 1t is alleged.
through the treachery of Japan. His
execution. with three of his followers,
took place in early October in the great
square of the ancient walled town, the
scene being one of thrilling horror. His
wife was exiled to Carolina, and there
was a rumor that she poisoned herself
few days later. There have been
many other exciting incidents in this
insurrection, such as the execution of
Rojas. whom the natives had decided
upon as their emperor when their free
dom should be established. But the
warfare still continues with ever vary
ing success in favor of one or the other
combatant.
