PORT TOWNSEND, March 26,--l1ad
the creator when he made the earth had in
mind The defenses Of this nation by land
and sea, he could scarcely have designed
more effective natural ctadels than those
which environ this city. Within a radius
OF four miles OF Port Townsend are atuat-
ed three of the strongest fortresses which
this nation boasts.
AS long ago as 1887 General Wilson,
then in command Of the forces az Stella
COON, the cfItcr military r'vst rrt--tirv tirr,e
on Puget Sound, selected these points
for defensive purposes. The government,
realizing the strategic advantages, set apart
large tracts of land as national reserves
to be improved as occasion demanded.
Marrowstone point, Admiralty head and
Point Wilson are the locations referred to,
Upon these promontores now stand Forts
Flagler, Casey and Worden, in the order
named. The three form triangle, guard
ing the entrance of Puget Sound, the
Mediterranean Of the Pacific.
A hostile fleet would have to run the
gauntlet of these three strongholds before
advance could be made upon Tacoma and
Seattle not to speak of the navy yard
at Bremerton and numerous small towns.
Scores of somber looking guns of large
caliber and latest approved pattern are
here mounted. Mortar batteries occupy
points of vantage, the whole being protect
ed by impenetrabe mountains Of earth
embankment.
A thousand soldiers man these forts in
time of peace, hut the government, which
has spent many millions OF dollars on
these Notifications during the last six
years. still continues engagements and i'm.

the men needed should hostlities arise
Wireless telegraphy connects Forts Wor-
den and Casey, and plans are making for
the extension of the system to Fort Flag
Ter. This latter post at this time depends
