a desire among the colleges for il 10 do
still more. The letter is as follows:

Fortifcations Temnorary.

Washington. Oct. 23.-The purpose of Secretary Taft's trip to Subig bay is to endeavor to reconcile serious diff ference of opinion between the army and navy respecting the continuance of expenditures on large scale upon the fortifcation of that body of water.
 Several years ago naval board de- cided that Subig bay should be the main point of defense in the Philip pines so far as a naval base is con- cerned.
 Acting Secretary of War Oliver to- day said that he thought it should be understood that the project now un- der execution for the fertilization of Subig bay is only temporary in char aeter. It had been thought necessary to insure the safety of the big dry dock Dewey and secure a protective harhor for the fleet. To effect these things at Manila would take a long time while they could be secured, at least temporarily, at Subig bay in a short time and at the minimum of ex- penditure.
 General Oliver declared that the scheme for the permanent fertilization of the Philippines is yet unsettled Secretary Taft will look carefully into the matter and government officials and army officers will discuss 1t on his return.
 So far only $500,O0o has been appro- priated This sum will only make a beginning in the work.
