Probably the most formidable defense is
the new battery with Krupp guns. The
battery lies along shore mile beyond
Moro and Cabana. Its construction and
equipment are said to have cost 100000.
1t is the most modern defensive work that
is to be found around Havann. Sometimes,
with strong glass, glimpse Of the bat
terry can be had from the deck of ali in
coming vessel An American who is in
terested in heavy ordnance and things Of
that sort one morning thought he would
view the guns from a distance. His knowl-
edge, which was that Of an expert, COM
mended him to the guards. They showed
him through the battery and mis- curiosity
was gratif1ed by the privilege of a thorough
examination. His observations were too
technical for popular information, but he
says the equipment is excellent, and han
died by men who know how to use 1t the
battery would be dangerous. My own
knowledge Is limited, to an examination
from without. The guns are protected by
walls something after the style Of the forts
with which Gen. Weyler dotted the island.
