months later, was to become Pope
Plus X. The regular work of lay
ing the foundation was then begun.
In order to render the basic struc.
ture homogeneous the engineers pro.
ceeded to enlarge the old foundations
by the original method of piles, plat
form, clamped stones, and stones ar
ranged stepwise up to the level of the
piazza A ditch about Is feet deep
that is, down to the level of the pile
heads-was dug all around the old
foundations to the width of about II
feet and carefully bratticed. Into the
area thus laid bare they proceeded to
drive 3,076 piles of hardwood from
Galore, fresh cut so as to insure the
presence of abundant resin.
The average diameter of the piles
is SA inches. Larch was preferred
to oak, partly because experience has
shown it's admirable power Of resist
ing decomposition when buried in the
clay of the lagoon bed, and partly be-
cause larch piles are straight, where
as oak is often bent and twisted, and
would therefore, have left frequent
interstices.
The piles are on an average IS feet
long. They were driven home to al.
most absolute resistance. e., till
they yielded only one milimeter to
each blow from a weight of $40 pounds
raised four feet six inches. They are
calculated to have carrying power
of 10000 tons. The weight of the
tower they are to support is estimated
at 10000 tons, allowing for hollow
space. At the angles the piles are in
contact with each other, elsewhere
they average a dozen to the square
meter, the total enlargement of the
foundation area amounting to 240
square meters.
The pile driving was completed on
October s, 1904 Then came an at
tack upon the old foundations, con-
sisting of cut made eight feet deep
all around, so that the new platform
could be knitted to the old. Then on
top of this new platform massive
blocks of Istrian stone, cut in parallel
opipeds, were carefully cemented to-
gether. These Istrian stones, noted
for their fine grain, are in II courses,
and enter the old foundations to the
depth of six feet six inches, the
largest blocks being nine feet nine
inches in length and four feet seven
inches in width. The new shaft is
thus being raised from what is practi-
! cally new platform, the weight of
which is partially borne by the old
piles.

voring Olongapo, and the other Cavite.
While each faction finds supporters in
both army and navy, it is generally
true that the navy prefers Olongapo,
while the army insists that Cavite is
the better place.
This divergence between the naval
and military point of view is char
acterstic of the two services, which
approach the question from different
angles. The navy demands two con-
ditions-a suitable harbor, and one
capable of being easily defended from
a naval attack The army, whose task
will be to defend the base from an
attack by land, is apt to judge the
problem only from this standpoint.
Since the two propositions can never
be entirely reconciled an intelligent
decision must be based upon a COM
parative estimation of the elements
involved. These elements are suita-
bility, availability, defensibility and
economics; and it may help toward
decision between Cavite and Olongapo
to briefly elucidate their comparative
merits and demerits.
The navy yard of Cavite is situated
in Manila bay about ten miles by sea
from the city of Manila 1t is located
on a shallow basin formed by low
lying hook or spit of land which juts
for half mile out into the bay. Only
small boats can now enter the basin,
ships of any size having to anchor we'll
out into the bay, which is here 30
miles across, in a practically open
roadway where there is little protec-
ton from typhoons. To create a large
base would mean vast amount of
dredging and the building of break
water, and it will always be necessary
to keep dredges working to prevent
the harbor from filling up
In short, any suitable harbor at
Cavite must be an artificial one
have never met naval expert who
thinks favorably of Cavite purely from
naval standpoint. Many naval Off
GERS prefer to be stationed there
rather than at Olongapo owing to it's
nearness to Manila. The influence of
Manila residents is usually thrown in
| favor of Cavite for several reasons.
The city wants the commercial bene-
fits which may accrue from the prox-
unity of such base, and there is a
belief that any defense of Cavite must
also include a defense of Manila, which
is soothing thought to nervous peo-
pie whose ideas of war are hazy.
