Fortifylng the National Capital.

WASHINGTON, March 22.-The prep
aratlons for the defense OF the national
capital have been practically completed
so far as its approach by water Is con-
cerned. The battery at Shetidans point
on the Potomac. just above Mount Yer
non. Is now completely manned and
will prove a powerful auxiliary to the
main battery at Fort Washington, on
the opposite shore Of the river nearer
this city. A garrison was established
at Fort Washington several months
ago. II consists of detachment of the
Fourth artillery from Washington bar
racks under command of Captain Howe.
The work Of building the emplacements
and mounting the guns at Sheridan's
point was completed only short time
ago, and It's establishment as post
was accomplished only within the past
few days when Battery X Of the Fourth
artillery arrived there from Fortress
Monroe and went into camp. There are
65 men in the detachment. under com
mand Of Captain George c.. Greenough
Of the Fourth artillery.
Evening journal., 1898-03-22
senate HoIds n sbort session.

WASHINGTON, March 22.-The short
session of the senate yesterday was
quite unusual for the first working
day Of the week. That no one was pre-
pared to go on with any pending meas
ure was given as the explanation, but
privately the opinion was stated by
some of the senators that while the Gu
ban question remained in such suspense
there was no desire to take UP impor-
tant legislation. The outlook as to Cuba
was discussed among senators almost to
the exclusion of other topics, and the
belief was quite decided that the ad-
mlnistration is preparing to take posi-
tive position within the next week. Sew
eral senators made the prediction that
the United States would intervene. Be
ing pressd for a reason, they stated
that they had reached this conclusion
after more or less conference with ex-
ecutive officers. but at the same time
saying quite emphatically that they had
no positive information on this point.
Other senators thought the recognition
of Cuban independence more probable
than intervention. Almost all expressed
the view that some action surely will
follow the report of the Maine court of
inquiry regardless of its purport.

A PUN For Endicntt.

WASHINGTON, March 22.-The va
cancy which has existed In the Office
Of the chief Of the bureau Of yards and
docks. navy department, since last
Tuesday when the term of Rear Ad
mlral T.. O. Matthews expired, has been
filled by the president by the appoint
ment of Civil Engineer Mordecai t. En-
dicott for a term of four years. In view
of the probability OF the early construc-
tlon Of four or five new drydocks, this
bureau becomes one Of the most impor-
tant in the navy department. Mr.. Endi-
eott is an engineer officer OF high
degree and is thoroughly informed in
regard to the matters which come di-
rectly before the bureau Of which he will
be the head. Aside from this his posi-
ton as bureau chief will make him a
member Of the general board which de-
termines questions Of general policy re-
