PROTECTION OF SEACOAST CITIES He Believes in Fortifications Rather Than Naval Vessels. ——__+--—__ AN INTERESTING STATEMENT Senator Proctor of Vermont addressed the Senate today on the question of coast de- fenses. The Senator's former service as Secretary of War gave added interest to his remarks. At the outset he quoted the following statement by Admiral Walker before the Senate committee on coaBt de- fenses: “If they (the English) were to send over such a paval force as they could spare from Europe they would have their own way. * * * They would probably take the whole navy. * * * By putting all our vessels Lehind Sandy Hook we could probably make something of a fight for that place, but nothing would prevent them from tak- ing the whole coast.” After referring to the public agitation of many years favoring coast defenses and the lack of substantial action, Mr. Proctor stated the following propositions: First. That a proper system of land de- Senator Proctor. fenses will make our great cities safe from any naval attack. Second. Such a system can be constructed for a sum many times less than the cost of a navy like the great navies of Eu- repe, and for a sum that may reasonably be expended. Third. Land fortifications are much more efficient for coast defense than a navy, and when once constructed are durable, cheaply maintained and easily strengthen- ed. Fourth. The defense of our cities cannot be left to the navy alone, however large. Fifth. A navy that would equal the great navies of Europe is unnecessary, and its cost makes such a navy impracticable. Sixth. A navy quickly deteriorates, and is expensive to maintain. Seventh. The construction of land de- fenses sould always precede the building of_a navy. The Senator proceeded to support these prepositions. After reviewing the initial efforts of the fortification board, convened by Secretary of War Endicott, Mr. Proctor continued: “Since the time of rendering this report the engincering authorities have modified the details somewhat, the tendency being to decrease the number of heavy guns and to increase the number of mortars, until it Is now proposed to have 36 16-inch guns, 203 12-inch guns, 180 10-inch guns, 98 8-inch guns, 360 quick-fire guns, 1,032 12-inch mor- tars, and 24 10-inch mortars, being a total of 1,483 guns and mortars. It has also been Getermined that New Haven and New Lon- don can be defended best by blocking the eastern entrance to Long Island sound by fortifications; but these changes in the plans of the Endicott board have not sub- Stantially changed the cost of the work as estimated by that board. The increase in guns and mortars has been divided prif- cipally among southern and Pacific ports, The Navy Appropriations. “The total amount appropriated up to date from and including the third day of March, 1883, for the increase of the navy is $110,371,710.10. In giving the figures in re- gard to the new navy, I treat as complete all ships authorized or in process of build- irg. It, therefore, appears that the amount G110,371,710.10) spent on the new navy would have entirely completed in the mi- rutest detail the most perfect system of land defenses that the art of the engineer can devise, including the armament, with a remaining surplus of $10,005,710. “From the last report of the Secretary of War we find that in the same period” we have expended only $10,631,006 on coast de- fense. According to the report of the Engi- cott board, which was approved by Com- manders Goodrich and Smith, two naval ex- perts, we ought to expend’ $28,000,000 on floating defenses and $97,000,000 on land de- fenses. Instead of keeping up this propor- tion, we have expended $10,000,000 on lard defenses and many times that amount on floating defenses. “We have also spent milMons in deepening the approaches to our harbors to make them accessible to a hostile fleet, and prac- tically nothing for their defense. ‘We have neglected the work which should have been done first, and which would have been more than completed for the sum spent on the navy, while the navy, still far too small to protect itself, Is left without the protection cf a system of har- bor defense which should have preceded its construction. “I shall speak freely of our shortcomings in the matter of defense. Only by under- standing our needs will we be aroused to provide for them. None need fear that this will give valuable information to possible enemies. It is to be hoped that the British war office and admiralty have not plans in detail of our partially constructed mine and torpedo systems. There is little else in our preparation or non-preparation for war that they do not understand. There is no dun- ger of exposing our weak points. They are well known. The need is to realize them ourselves and to apply the remedy. Compared With Land Defense: “It becomes necessary to, make some com- parison between the relative expense alid efficiency of the land and floating defenses, but I shall do this in no spirit of unfriend- liness to the navy. Our navy, according to the annual report of the Secretary of the Navy in 1893, was rated as standing sev- enth on the list of the navies of the world. Assuming that the minor powers have made no progress in this respect (which is not the case), and taking into considera- ion the increase of our own navy, appro- peel for during the past two years, the ited States would, perhaps, in respect of naval strength be at the head of the second-class powers. That is, admitting that we have caught up with or even sur- passed little Holland, which is doubtful, we will still be separated by a vast interval from the five great naval Powers of the world. “For the sum of $110,871,710 the United States will have, on the completion of ves- sels now under construction: 8 battle ships, 4 double-turreted monitors, 1 barbette coast defense turret vessel, 1 harbor de- fense ram, 2 armored cruisers, 7 protected cruisers, 6 partially protected cruisers, 20 cruisers, 17 gunboats, 1 dynamite gun ves- sel, 9 torpedo boats, 1 dispatch boat, 1 na- val cadet practice vessel. Upon the fore- foe are to be mounted 82 8-inch guns, 8 10-inch guns, 12 12-inch guns, 24 13-Inch guns, 3 dynamite guns, 187 5-inch and 6- inch rapid-fire guns. “Of the ships thus obtained there ts prob- ably not one that naval officers will not ad- mit fs overmatched by foreign ships. Ad- miral Walker stated before the committee that England has ships that outclass ours, and that other powers have such ship: ‘The one admitted superiority is the qual- ity of our marine engines and armor, giv- ing speed to the ship and resistance to pro- jectiles. But foreign navies, like those of England and France, on the former of which is expended annually nearly as much money as our entire new navy cost, will soon have utilized all the ideas which we have developed. A brief comparison taken from the last report of the Secretary of the Navy will demonstrate how hopelessly behind foreign powers the United States is in naval equipment. This is particularly true as regards Great Britain, our tradi- tional enemy. Great Britain has, or will have when the authorized ships are com- pleted, 60 armored battle ships to our 8; 11 coast defense vessels to our 20; this defi- elency on the part of England being due to her policy of placing her first line of de- fense at the enemy’s coast. According to the Secretary's report, Great Britain has 29 armored cruisers to our 2; she has 74 unarmored protected cruisers to our 13; she has 92 unarmored cruisers to our 20; she has 16 unarmored gun vessels to our 1 she has 34 unarmored torpedo vessels to pur 2 and she has 251 torpedo boats to our 9. The Senator went on to show the rew ships Great Britain is now building, the large increase in naval enlistment and the extensive reserve marine made up of Brit- ish merchant vessels. Value of Const Defenses. Mr. Proctor then compared the inade- quacy of our navy with what coast de- fenses would accomplish. He said: “Such is our navy, but suppose that a like sum had been expended on land de- fenses, what would the country now have to show for the expenditure? “There is no higher engineering author- ity on this subject than Gen. Abbott. He says that ‘the entire coast would be placed in a condition of security, even if operated against by the largest naval means which could be brought against it.” “Admiral Walker said before the com- mittee that if our harbors were properly fortified no squadron would attempt to taixe them, For the sum with which we have precured our navy we could have rendered our seaports practically safe against the ccembined assaults of all the navies admit- tedly supericr to our own, and could have occupied the first place in the world as re gards our fortified frontier, and still have ™cney enough left to provide a good share of the additional floating batteries and tor- pedo boats necessary. The plans of the kcard would have given us land defenses calculated to withstand all methods of at- tack, even after the improvements that may reasonably be expected during many years to come. The proposed works as- sumed an cttack with high explosives, and are planned to resist such an attack. The gvns were heavier than any mounted cn any ship abroad, except a few coast de- fense vessels (notably the Italian), whic -nc one even suggests can cross the Atlantic ean, yet even these were matched by those estimated for our defense. Since the date of the estimates for land defenses the guns on chipboard have exhibited a constant tendency to decrease in relative power. “The land defenses would have had in ad- r to the fortifications: as against s $2; 180 ten-inch gun: against the navy's 18; 203 twelve-inch guns, as against the navy’s 12; 6 fourteen-inch guns, gainst the navy’s 24 thirteen-inch guns. 86 sixteen-inch guns, as against the navy's none, 1,032 twelve-inch mortars, as against the navy’s none; 24 ten-inch mortars, as against the navy’s none; 4 six-inch guns, 3 agairst the navy'’s none; 360 quick-fire guns, five-inch, as against the navy’s 147. In other words, the proposed land defens for the same sum would mount 1,576 guns of eight-inch caliber and upward, as against the navy’s 136 guns, and would have mounted 360 rapid-tire guns of five- inch caliber, as against the navy’s 187. “These plans aione if carried out would provide Boston alone with 171 guns and mortars of 8-inch to 16-inch caliber, as against the 136 guns of S-inch to 13-inch caliber in our whole new navy. “At New York there would be 269 guns 2nd mortars of from 8-inch to 16-inch cali- ber, as against the 136 guns of the entire navy. At San Francisco there would be 232 guns and mortafs of from 8-inch to 16- inch caliber, as against 136 guns of the Navy.. These comparisons between the re- epective armaments we would have at these important points and the armaments we have obtained in the whole new navy for the sam2 money show that the scale {3s much in favor of any one of the above ports alone, as against the combined force of the navy.” : Mr. Proctor presented tables comparing the cost of land and floating batteries, showing great excess of cost when batteries are placed on ships. He cited events in the China-Japan war to show that Japanese land forces were an essential factor in the capture of Port Arthur and Wei-hai-wei. The New Navy. Continuing, the Senator said: “In the building of this new navy we have accomplished already all that it was origin- ally designed to do when this work was be- gun. The questicn now pressing for an an- swer 1s, shall the rext step be in the direc- tion of a further increase of the naval strength or in the completion of the land coast defenses? If the latter, we may know to a cent the experditures to which we commit ourselves, and exactly what we will get for our money; if the former, we enter on an expenditure to which there is literally no end. “These facts now bring us face to face with an all-important consideration. In our expenditure of money heretofore we have had a tolerably definite idea as to what we were spending it for. We could not brook the idea that our coast might be plundered by a power like Spain or Chile. We may assume tLat we have now guarded against any possible humiliation of that sort. But what is the next step that we will take? It ought not to be a step in the dark. “From this time on any expenditure of money which we are prepared to make on naval incrcas€ will merely make vs stronger than we need be with reference to powers that are weaker than ourselves, while lea ing us still hopelessly inferior to the five great naval powers that are now so much stronger than ourselves. Whether we look backward or forward, further expenditure of money in this direction (except for the purpose of maintaining our present relative position) will be money sadly misappropri- ated, unless it be expended with the delib- erate purpose of pursuing this course to its logical end and of competing with and ex- celling the great powers of Europe in naval strength. “In a country like ours there is certain to come a time when-the people will refuse to vote money for new construction, and will coht@t themselves with maintaining what they already have. “When that time comes, with land de- fenses we have something to show for our money, and if these defenses are complete all appropriations may cease for many years except a trifling amount for care and preservation. If appropriations for naval constructions cease for a few years, the navy will sink into insignificance; in other words, the policy of seeking naval suprem- acy commits our government, simpiy for the purpose of keeping good its previous expenditures, to an outlay once every eight Years equal to the entire amount necessary for the fortification of our seacoasts im such @ manner as to enable us to defy the navies of the world. “It would be much better to provide the land fortifications at a cost so many times less than the expense of making our navy anything like equal to that of Great Brit- ain, inasmuch as it is universally admitted that the land fortifications will render our coasts impregnable, It is also a matter at least of congratulation that whatever money may be spent to bulld and maintain coast fortifications will be spent in the United States, while much of the money that may be appropriated for the support of the navy will find its way into foreign coffers.”” To Maintain Peace. In conclusion the Senator said: “Our desires and our traditions are for the maintenance of peace, and nothing will tend to the maintenance of peace more than an undoubted ability on our part to successfully withstand attacks from the sea. This is our weakest point, for our military resources are such that no hostile force is likely to seek an encounter with us on our own soil. “The question of coast defenses is no local question. ‘The honor of the nation is as dear to an American citizen on the prairies of the west as to one in the rush of Broadway. Nor is the nation’s honor only at stake. Any financial misfortune that befalls a seacoast city has its direct effect on the material interests of every inland city and every inland communit; “The needs of the country appeal to Con- gress for action in this direction; the bound- less capital represented in property that could be destroyed by bombardment ap- peals to us; the material integests of the whole nation that would be affected by that destruction appeal to us; our common sense appeals to us. We can effect the purpose more cheaply now than hereafter. Let us provide suitabie fortifications and render our harbors impregnable. We have our solid coasts to build upon. They will sustain any weight of earthworks, the best material for fortification, without the danger of ripping decks and unstable ships. Moreover, whatever works are made will be such that additions can from time to time be made to them to make them equal to withstanding the advances of science. if {said he did not propose to be influc There’s no Place Like Carlsbad. Among all the healing waters of the Old World and the New, today, that of Carlsbad holds curative sovereignty. It has thus reigned for centuries, its historic fame increasing as the years rolled by, witnessing the ever-lengthening list of cures by its virtues. The many, who, for various rea- sons, are precluded from _ visiting Carlsbad, may receive the full bene- fits of her wonderful waters at home. Science brings the essence of them here in dry form--the Carlsbad Spru- del Salt—which is to be had at all drug stores. It is a natural and posi- tive remedy for constipation, catarrh of stomach, dyspepsia, liver and kid- ney complaints, diabetes, etc. The genuine imported Salt must bear the seal of the city of Carlsbad, and the signature, “EISNER & MENDEL- SON CO,, Sole Agents, New York,” on every bottle.

We, as a nation, have the best of reason to know the strength of such tes, Blood should be thicker than water, but is it? Our nation had its birth amid a flood of kindred blood; the battlefi-ids of 1812 were crimsoned with hostile blood from kindred sources, while our civil war made red the hand of many a man who had lifted it against his brother. All our. principal conflicts have taken place despite’ these tles. “We must often have causes of ‘riction with Great Eritain while she has posses- sions in this hemisphere and a dependency bordering us for 4,000 miles and great fortresses frowning upon our s butlt and maintained with sole refet to war with us.

Congress May Be Asked to Investigate the Matter. * According to reports from Denver, the selection by Mr. Preston, the director of the mint, and Secretary Carlisle of a site for the new Denver mint has given anything but satisfaction in that city. It is said to be more than likely that the matter will be brought to the attention of Congress by one of the Colorado Senators or Representatives in the form of a resolution asking for the reasons which led the Secretary of the Treasury to select that particular location, which fs said to be the least desirable of the hundred or more which were presented for consideration. . The appropriation for the purchase of @ site was made by the last Congress, but it was only within the last few weeks that the Secretary, on the recommendation of the director of the mint, made his final decision. It is said that of all the sites presented or suggested the Dake site, the one finally chosen, was the only one against which any decided protest was made by the people of Denver, but they claim that both the Secretary and the director of the mint re- fused to hear them or entertain their ohjeo- tions. A prominent resident of Denver, speaking on the subject, says: “I got up a protest signed by m: f and neighbors when the location was first men- Uoned. This protest I sent to Mr. Preston, with the request that the people whose names were thereon be allowed to be heard regarding their vie Mr. Preston never replied, even by postal card. Another com- munication was sent him, and it received the same treatment. We asked to be al- lowed to call on him while in the city, and even that request elicited no response. Then we sent two communications to Secrotary Carlisle, and they also were snubbed. A private letter was then sent to a higher authority, and it in turn drew no reply. The next news we heard was that the vite had been selected, and that Mr. Pres had ced b protests. The fact was that all the cated munications reached him, as we learned from press reports, and some influence—I don’t want to say what kind—was stronger than we. I feel as the majority of the resi- dents in the vicinity do, that we made the location valuable by our improvements, and certainly should have been beard. Out of 150 sites offered at varlous prices, this was the only one against which a protest was made. The fact was that every time Pres- ton was shown another site he came back to this one, as though it had been an un- derstood matter before he came to Denver that it was to be the one selected. We might as well live under the Czar of Russia as in this place. We asked to be heard, ar tainly had a right to have the request ¢ ed. Our investments are seriously injured, just because some influence was brought to bear on the selection, and we feel that we were given very little show in the whole matter.” + °-—____ Southern Pacific Finances.
