In short, the conference will meaR
that Oahu will be recommended for adj
ditional fortifcations and increased
military and naval strength. General
Murray, for the past year and half
has advocated a force of twenty thou
sand troops for Oahu alone, and it is
expected that within two years at
least ten thousand men viii be sta
toned here.
Recommendations were made some
time ago for series of redoubts to be
erected at intervals along the windward
coast of Oahu. General Murray has
closely inspected every foot of the en-
tire coastline from the land side. The
cruise of Saturday and Sunday will give
opportunity for the two generals to
examine the coast from the naval man g
standpoint.
The Maryland and Colorado coal to-
day and on Monday the other vessels
will commence coaling and all will be
in readiness to proceed TO sea, in two
divisions for war maneuvers, which
may occupy about ten days. The feet
may not leave port until next Wednes-
day. So far no day has been set apart
for the feet to leave port.
