SAN JUAN's FORTIFICATIONs.
Congress to Be Asked to Make APP.
preparation for Placing Modern
Guns I'm Old MORO Castle.

Figures are being prepared looking
to the submission to congress OF estl-
mates for the fortification of San Juan,
Porto Rico. Simpsons Intellectual bonn
bardment demonstrated that the
MORO fort on the heights at the en-
trance of the harbor is nearly impreg-
nable as it is, and would be completely
so with modern rifles mounted on dis
appearing carriages and with scien-
tific emplacements which would in.
sure accurate fire.
Porto Rico is considered the best
strategic point in the West Indies, and
hence it is considered that San Juan
should be fortified at once SO as TO fur
nish the United States with a seaward
base which would control Cuba and the
entrance to the Isthmus canal alike.
The last war demonstrated that the
heaviest ships cannot reduce good shore
Notifications, and hence it is proposed
to put modern guns in San .Juan's old
Moro fort and then develop the in
terror harbor into a naval station with
repair shops. arsenals, powder fac
tories and dry docks absolutely secure
from attack.
Some interesting facts and figures are
to be presented to congress this winter
showing the value of coast dcfenses a:
demonstrated by the useless attacks o.
| Simpsons fleet at Santiago and Sar
Juan, and special plea for the fortifi
cation of the latter place will be pu
in on the ground that the fortification!
are not only needed. but would alst
| furnish work for the new American cit
izens of Porto Rico and be the start o
the system of public improvements i
is hoped to iraugurate on the island.

The cotton mills are about to get
into it with Uncle Sam, in using
store slips. Collector Webster has
made two Of the Columbia mills con-
tribute 800 in the way Of revenue,
and the Internal Revenue Depart
ment sustains him. They hold that
the slips are in effect checks ard
must each be stamped with a two
cent revenue stamp; many Of these
slips are for only five and ten cents.
Mr.. Webster holds that the law is
positive and that the slips must each
be stamped.
