GENERAL FKASk.s PLANS.
tie Arranses for u syslematic Defense OF
the Atlantic Coast.

de Arranges for n syn,ematic Defeuse or
the Atlantic Coast.
Plans for the military defense of the
Atlantic coast are being rapidly pushed
to completion by Brigadier General
Royal L. Frank. who has succeeded
General Wesley Merritt in command
of the Department of the East.
General Frank, who relieved General
Merritt Thursday, stated at headquart-
ers, on Governors Island, New York,
that he had not yet appointed the mem
bers OF his staff. This. he said, was
due to the scarcity OF officers suitable
tor the duty, most of whom have been
ordered to the trout or received indie
pendent commands, He hoped. howev-
er. in a few days to make his staff COM
plete. ...
General Frank said he expected that
Sea Cert, N. J., and Hampstead, L. l.,
would be the great camps of instruc-
ton. where all the volunteer troops In
the department would be assembled.
1t is intended that a certain number of
regiments and batteries will be MAIN
tanned permanently in these camps and
kept in condition Of efficiency ready tC
be transported at moments notice to
any point where their services may
be required.
a considerable number will also be
utilized as garrisons for defensive
works in harbors and along the coast.
pal liGuldtiy III lllt luElS ABOUT NEW
York and in the works recently erected
for the defense for the eastern end of
Long Island Sound. In all probability
about four hundred men will be de-
tailed to each of the garrisons at Fort
Hancock. Fort Hamilton. Fort Wads-
worth, Fort Schuyler and the fort at
Willetts Point.
These will be organized as Infantry,
but particular attention will be given
to their instruction in the working OF
the heavy rhed guns and mortars. so
that they will practically form q part
of the small regular garrisons kept
at those forts. In view Of the large
proportion of educated men In the vol
unteer ranks it is believed that they
Will soon become efficient in the hand
ling of heavy artillery.
General Frank said he was we'll sat
isfed with the efficiency of the perma-
nent modern batteries recently erected
for the defense of New York Con
structed as they are of earth and con-
crete on the latest and most improved
plans he was confident OF their ahil-
ty 10 Withstand almost any amount
of bombardment. While some of the
temporary batteries are not strong, the
general still felt assured Of their eff
cheney.
