"EI Fraile" is assurediy the
most remarkable war craft in the world.
It lies in the waters of Manila bay, and
seems likely TO remain there perma-
nently, inasmuch as it is built on dry
land.
"El Fraile" is IN fact an island. about
the size Of a battlcship. When the work
on II that is now in progress is COM
pleted, il will have much the appearance
OF an armored vessel Of war, carrying
heavy guns mounted in turrets.
Originally it was intended TO build
the Notifications OF Manila bay on the
mainland, in large part at least; but it
was finally dtcided that a better plan
would be to establish them on islands
because thus they would be safe against
land attacks. Port Arthur was a very
formidable cOngeries Of forts. but the
Japanese, when they found out that as
sault from the sea was hopeless, were
able to capture 1t by landing an army.
Fort Sumpter Gives idea.
On the other hand. Fort Sumpter, in
our own civil war, situated as it was
on an island OF less than 80 acres. held
out for two years against lombard
ment by a fleet. though exposed to at
tack by shore batteries and garrisoned
by only about 800 men
Approaching this military advantage,
have built several artificial islands for
the defence Of the seapOrts. Recently
our own war department had in con-
temptation the construction Of such an
island, with suitable Qualifications, to
guard the mouth Of the Chesapeake
AS matters now stand, in the absence
Of this OF other defences. an enemy
having once secured command OF the
sea, could establish q base in Lynn
haven bay, without coming under the
fire Of a single gun. He could pass in
or out Of Chesapeake bay at will; could
have access to vast quantities OF valu-
able supplies Of all kinds. and could
paralyze the great trunk railroads
crossing the head Of the bay.
Two Great SearchIiEhts.
Within the last few dals congress has
appropriated money for building two

New Idea Is Concentration.
One should realize that the up-to-
date method Of sea-fiChting is to con-
centrate simultaneously all the guns
Of a number Of ships upon a single
