Atlantic Coast Deiences.

| Captain William Crozier of the army,
who has been inspecting all the de-
fenses on the North Atlantic coast, has
made a report, which is anything but
favorable. The report shows such a de-
plorable condition that the disclosures
would never have been permitted in any
results of his observations, Captain
Crozier says what is needed to put the
artillery service in proper condition is
abundant opportunity for practice
good instruction by competent officers,
and frequent, vigorous and skillful in
spection." Captain Crozier says he
who did not know how to take care of
the guns and there was a general disin-
clination on the part of many to learn.
Only two mortar batteries on the whole
coast were in anything like an effective
condition. In harbors where there are
several defenses there was lack OF COM
munication between the points.
1t is fresh in the public mind that q
year ago there was a great rush to pro-
tect the harbors and the coast generally
from expected visits of Spanish ships.
No city. it was found, was properly de
est way of meeting the emergency. No
Spanish ships came, because they were
afraid to come, but if trouble had arisen
with other European powers. it is al
most certain that things would haze
been entirely different, and possibly
disastrously 50 for the coast cities.
The war. it was thought, would serve
to stir up Congress and the War De-
partment to the necessity Of terrifying
the coasts, and, to a certain extent 1t
has had that effect; but il Captain
Croziers report is trustworthy, it is
clear that a vast deal of work must yet
be done. 1t takes long time to fortify
a stretch of coast, such as tnat on our
Atlantic seaboa.d. Army officers for
long time have cen appealing to Con-
gress to vote a few millions every year
for this purpose b 1T until recently little
was done. 1t Nas pointed ont that it
would take many years ID put the At
lantic and Pacl ic coasts into proper
condition.
A most serious item in captain
Crozier's statement is the lazin"sG,
ignorance and General iuett:cirncy Of

Never was better shooting done in any

Atlantic coast.
