Much of tbe report Is devoted to a detailed exhibit of the work ncoomollshed and now uuder way on thn ooat defenses. On July 1, 1893, ot our modern defense but one hlgtipower gun was mounted. By July 1 next seventy bighpower breech-loading guns and ninoty-five breech-loading mortars of modern design will be iu position, and by the following Julyl 128 guns, 153 mortaw. A battery or two or threo of these guns lakes thn placo of the former pretentions fort, and is vastly more effective. The subjeot of coast rletenes is elaborate ly discussed, and the statement is made that theEndioott project, modified by the Engi neer Corps, is in a fair way to be carried out, providing batteries and mines that are cal culated to protoet Amerioan ports from any fleet that could assail them.
