THREE MILLION
FOR 4 MANILA FORT

WASHINGTON, February 1S.--As
part of the joint program for the forth
fication of Manila bay it is learned
today that the War Department has
made application to Congress for an
appropriation of 100000 with which
to build an artificial island, upon which
the guns will be mounted for the de-
Tense of Cavite Naval Station.
This appropriation comes from the
action of the joint Army and Navy
board. As a result of the work of this
board OIongapo has been abandoned,
it having been demonstrated that it
would take not less than 100, 900 men to
defend the site on the land side.
Manila proper has been selected for
the location of the station, and Cavite.
the old Spanish station, win probably
be the key to the defense of Manila.
For the proper defense of Cavite, how
ever, ADDITIONAL Notifications are nee
essary. the easy entrance to the bay
by Admiral Dewey's feet having DEM
onstrated that Corregidor could be
passed and the city menaced without
any great difficulty. For this reason it
is proposed to construct an artificial
island in the channel before Cavite,
where a tremendous force of shot and
shell can be concentrated upon an
enemy.

BIRDS KEEP WARM
ON POWER LINES

BAKERSFIELD, February 1s.--T. L.
Schuetze, chief engineer Of the Edison
electric plant on the Kern river, states
that the only trouble experienced in
the transmission of power to Los An
geles is the annoyance caused by
eagles and cranes. which at dusk climb
up under the insulators at the top Of
the high towers to keep warm. About
the time an eagle gives a goodnight
yawn and stretches himself prepara-
tory to going asleep his wings come
in contact with the wires and the king
of the air is a dead one.
Scheutze says he had counted as
many as forty-three dead eagles on
the ground at the base Of the trans
mission towers and as high as eight
cen cranes.
A wire guard Is being placed on the
transmission towers. with az sharp
point, to keep the eagles away. Eagles
are very careful Of their wings, and
will not alight where there is any dan
ger of Injury. When an eagle, with
his outstretched wings, forms a short
circuit, the transmission OF power Is
affected about ten seconds.

JAPAN GATHERS
MANY WAR SUPPLIES

WASHINGTON, February 19.-The
War Department has taken rather
seriously certain information received
by it recently regarding Japan's &C
tivity in getting together munitions of
war. It is aware that Japan has about
500 field guns, while this country has
about one-tenth that number, and
Japan is busy turning out more as fast
as possible. Much viii depend in the
next war on the activity and efficiency
OF the field artillery. The general stan
held meeting yesterday to consider
this and the matters relating to equip
ment and TO consider information late
ly laid before Congress.
r. G. Hazard, a wealthy business
man of Providence, who is also a
manufacturer of high explosives, is of
the opinion that in a private way he
has gathered some exceedingly impor-
tant information as to the munitions
of war that have been gotten together
by Japan and other countries, espe-
cially the former. He says that Ger
many spends $4,000 a year gathering
facts as to Japan's accumulation of
munitions and their character, while
this country spends nothing. such work
remaining for individuals.
Hazard stated that he has received
important information which he has
laid before Congressional committees
and which he today gave the Presi-
dent. The information is such, he says,
that he cannot commit it to paper, bur
must disseminate it orally and in con-
fidence.
