WASHINGTON, D. c.. Dec. IA
The national administration wants
money for the defense of the Pa
cific coast.
1t wants money for the Philip
pines, too, and for the gulf and the
Atlantic coast.
1t will expend, if congress appro-
PIRATES and the demand of the
president and his advisers is in
sistent, many millions in the next
year for coast defense, naval base
and coaling stations.
Congress is asked for the enor-
nous total of $23,461,9 11 on the
winters appropriation bill for
coast and harbor defenses." OF
this $9,95S,992 is for use at once
in the insular possessions.
Just what amount of the remain
der is planned for the Pacific coast
the administration declines to say.
This is for "stragetic reasons The
government does not propose to let
Japan or any other nation know
just yet. except in general way,
what it is going to do at home.
The necessities in the way of
naval bases and defenses for our
islands were reported by Secretary
Taft in a confidential letter to the
president. He placed the total cost
of coast defense, naval bases and
coaling stations for the islands at
s22,716,360.
oFn lNorI bod
as follows:
Our territorial limits have been
enlarged by the addition of the in
sular possessions. They are distant
from the great centers and sources
of supply and cannot be held unless
their principal ports are fortified
before the outbreak of war. 1t is
clear that the defense should be
provided with as little delay as
possible"
The general plan in accordance
with which money which congress
will be asked to appropriate for for
tifications will be spent includes
the following items for Pacific
coast defense:
Puget sound, for guns, motors,
carriages, submarine defenses, pow
er plants, searchlights and fire con-
troll, $5,519,349.
Columbia river, ditto, 1882.
San Francisco, ditto, $3,119, PAP.
San Diego, ditto, $324,419.
The addition of Puget sound to
the list of naval bases was one of
the important recommendations of
the Taft board. In recommending
much more extensive Notifications
the board said:
These waters have become of
the greatest strategic and CONNER
cial importance, due to the COM
pletion in the extreme northwest
of great railway systems, the rapid
development of commercial, agri-
cultural and manufacturing inter-
ests, and the establishment of
navy yard containing the only dock
on the Pacific coast with the ca
pacity for a battleship. These con-
siderations press for an increased
and adequate defense at an early
date"
The board recommended a sec
ondary line of artillery defense ex-
tending from Foul Weather bluff to
Double bluff, II miles from the
outer entrance.
A special committee appointed to
Investigate has reported that Subig
bay is strategic base absolutely
necessary for the control of the
Philippines, and that its protection
by fixed defenses is of the great
est importance.
The same committee recommend
ed for very early fortification sec
ondary ports, viz: Kiska island in
the North Pacific, San Diego, Guam
and Fort Sorsogon in the Philip
pine islands.
