Including all, forts and batteries, the num-

Or twenty-one obsolete and twelve modern
pieces, and of the latter four only are of
comparatively high power.
THE exterior line consisted of seventeen
obsolete and two modern pieces. the former
being furnished by the Spanish War De-
partment and the latter by the Navy De
partment. The bold front put up by the
former seems to have been effective. The
real strength, however lay in the guns
taken from the Reina Mercedes, so that the
duel between the fleet and The land was
practically fought by the navy of both
powers. After one of these guns was dis
abled by the carriage being rendered hors
du combat the outer defense was really
confined to a single piece"
Following the above General FIagler
says: THE war has furnished no oppor-
tunity for determining by experience the
effect of our modern seacoast armament
against modern battle ships. The reports
of the experience gained, however tend to
confirm the opinion that the fire from ships
cannot silence the fire or seriously cripple
the armament of our modern batteries;
that the ships could not withstand the fire
of our modern batteries. and that therefore
the ships cannot attack the batteries sue
cessfully. Whether the ships can run by
the batteries without too great risk has
not been shown. This will depend on the
skill and rapidity with which the guns are
served, provided the ships are not stopped
by the mines"
Considerable attention is devoted to the
progress of work at the various arsenals
and the guns which are being made On
Sept. 20. 1898, there were 447 seacoast guns
mounted. 1t is estimated that on June 80
1899, there will be 900, and on the same date
in 1900 11S9.

The war scare, ii it has accom-
plished nothing else, has at least
been instrumental in securing a large
appropriation by Congress for the
national defense. In an incredibly
short time IL bill appropriating $780,
100000 for the purpose passed both
houses OF congress unanimously, re-
publicans, democrats and populists
yieing with one another in outbursts
OF patriotism. Thus is proven, that
in spite OF sectional and party differ
ences, the American people are united
and loyal to the government and

country. Churches and fraternal or
ders, theaters and card parties, hops

ness cares, make such demands upon
our time that the home is only a
boarding house or barracks, and the
youth, whom Dame Nature has con-
fded to our care are neglected by day
and made orphans by night. Life
with most folks has become very SUI
perfcial. They read too much and
think too little, and therefore never
taste the true philosophy of their be-
ing. So the old home with it's Bible

history and Indian wars, whose in

school or pairing bee, has passed
away, and we may we'll pause to con-
slider the cause and the effect. Mod

truth those who enjoy city life are too
