zens visiting Fort DUPONT ON the Della

two points has been suspended and the

three forts is in shape for action in any
possible emergency. The equipment for
mining the Delaware River and Bay is
always ready.
1t is claimed that it is possible to mine

that it would be impossible for any yes
sci to come up the bay far enough to
get within gun range of this city or any
of the numerous munitions plants in
this vicinity.
The 12-inch disappearing rifles in all
the forts have been limbered up and
prepared for service at a moments no
tice and the powerful mortars are in
readiness to hurl tons of metal upon
any ship that might venture within the
bay for hostile purposes. The gunners
have every inch of the bay and river
mapped off, so that the range of any
ship can be determined Immediately.
There are four companies at Fort
3IPont, one of them a mining ompan
There are enough men at Fort Delaware
and Fort Mott to handle the guns in an
emergency.
1t is now understood that the two bat
talions of Delaware militia who are re-
turning from Deming, n. NJ, viii be
sent to Fort DUPONT, to be held there in
stead of being mustered out of service
as was originally intended. 1t is said
they may be instructed in the handling
of the big guns to act as a reserve in
the coast Notifications.
Because of this regions Importance
as a munition centre it Is understood that
more than ordinary precautions will be
taken to guard Delaware river and bay in
the event of open hostilities.
