C., Nov. 13§ 1 saw General Miles (cnmmandmg the army) at his residence on Rhode Isiand avenue to-night. Heis acting as Secretary of War during the illness of Secretary Alger. I asked General Miles to tell me something abont the proposed fortifica- tions for San Francisco Harbor. He said: “You may say that I consider the harbor peculiarly adapted for self- defense. Nature hasso constructed it that itis oneof the most formidable situations for defensive purposes in the world. Twenty-six millions of dollars have been appropriated for coast defense fortifica- tious of the United States in the last ten years, but three times this smount should be expended, for modern weapons of war cost lots of money. A modern big gun costs $100,000. ““The work of preparing coast defenses is progressing satisfactorily, according tn all reports received. I consider the har- bor of San Francisco one of the best in the world. The work of fortifying it has been carried on for several years, and while a good deal of work has already been done a vastdeal more will be done in the future, When entirely completed it will be one of the best fortified harbors on the globe. Eleven million dollars will be expended. The principal fortifications will be on the north side of the harbor at Kort Baker, as it commands that entire aistrict of coun- try. The highest point is 900 feet above | the level of the sea, and, being precipitous, will be a veritable Gibraltar., A large force of artillery will be stationed there. Itis no exaggeration to say that it will be very similar to the British fortifications at the entrance to the Mediterranean Sea. “Fort Baker and L me Pcint will con- stitute the ‘front line.” Angel Island, Al- catraz and Fort Mason will constitute the second line. Angel Island is also a very high and commanding position and its armament will be of high-power guns and will command the entire harbor of San Fraucisco as far up as the Union Iron Qmmnxmmmnmxfimwmmrnm‘s NEWS OF Weather forecast for San Fran- cisco: Cloudy and unsettied Sundey; probably rain; soutu- erly winds.

I have earnestly recommended to the Secretary of War to ask Congress for at least two more artillery regiments. The five we now have are en- tirely inadequate to man the works that | wili soon be completed, and they should be provided immediately.
