WASHINGTON. April 5.-[Speoial. Tho
national capital Is safe against Spanish
attack. There will be no repetition of the
scenes Of 1914, when foreign soldiers
camped In the American statehouse and
Quilted the residence of our presidents.
Washington's best defense is I'm its geo
graphical position, many miles inland.
The Potomac Is navigable for medium
sized naval vessels, but its channel Is
narrow and tortuous, and no enemy will
hazard his ships on desperate voyage to
attack Washington. In all probabilities
they would be caught in trap and never
be able to get out. American ingenuity
would find the way to destroy them before
they could regain the ocean.
But Washington has other defenses. OPP
posite the tomb of Washington at Mount
Vernon is "a fort named after the first pres
ident. 1t Is of modern construction, ocou-
plying commanding hilltop, and its guns
sweeping for many miles up and down the
river. Here there are 10 inch rifles which
could be depended upon to sink any vessel
that came within range. There are also
some 10 inch guns of the old patterns, and
they are still capable of working tremen-
dous havoc Fort Sheridan, short dis
tance toward Washington from Mount
Vernon, is also equipped with modern
guns.

few of them paid him in cash, but
