New York and the other great cities or the

of the military experts. fear capture or attack
danger under such circumstances would be from
the attacks of armed forces, landed between
the defended harbOrs and approaching overland
These, of course. would need to be met by the
armed land forces of the United States army
but for prompt use in an emergency the militia
of the coast states which is now being trained

For coast defences already established the
greatest need is additional 81 lrChIights for the

While much is known of the accuracy of the
naval Gunnery. less has been published regard
ing the accuracy Of the craftsmanship of the
coast defence artillery, and word from General
Murray on that subject may further to
establish confidence in the coast defences
The Development of the coast artillery and
the value of the present system of fire direction
may be seen from comparison of the results
of target practice OF six years ago and OF to-
day" says the chief of artillery. "In 1900 the

the establishment Of fire control stations
Under tine present system every foot of navi-
gable water in the harhors is covered by the
powerful guns which have been installed in the
coast dcfcnCcs. Every channel is susceptible OF
hc,ng mined according to plans already worked
out, the preliminary work, including the assem-
bling of paraphernala, having been 80 carefully
done that every harhor on the Atlantic could be
effectively mined forty-ciEht hours notice.
Fire control stations have been far cstab-
lishcd that the exact position of any vessel Con-
ing within range of either the mines the big
guns can be determined with mathematical dc-
curacy. and, To quote General Murray. chief OF
artillery, "once hostile vessel comes within the
range of the coast defcnCcs n glance at the
perfected machinery of the range finders would
instantly reveal h,r POSITION, the pressure Of
finger on an electric button would explode
mine which would blow her out of the water.
and before she came down she would be blown
To atoms by one of the Pinch disappearing
guns"
The caution exercised by the commander Of
the American fleet off Santiago and by the Jap
ancsc commanders off Port Arthur are pointed
to as evidence that the commander Of hostile
fleet would Ions hesitate before r.skjns any of
his vessels within the range OF the coast de

chiucry OF destruction is known to bc doubly
as effective as that of Port Arthur. and infinitely
