During the entire week the professional charac

Bbsence of any public Interest kept the marke
from exhibiting any signs of extreme attention
Although throughout tbe whole period , the fed

speculation responded with great rapidity to anj

CATTLK There were 1,147 cuttle hero to
day , as against Itf77 yestvnlay and 2,274 n
week ago , lint out of that number ever
20J wuro consigned direct to the packers ,
leaving only about ! > 00 on sale. Of this
number a oed many were feeders and
the actual onYrlngs of killing cattle were
light.
Among the receipts of cornfed cattle
were a few loads or pretty goixl beeves ,
several loads selling up to J4. The market
was not especially active and salesmen In
many cases were calling It taslcr. but In
the end everything was sold and at prices
that would hardly admit of the market
being called anything but steady.
Only six or eight loads of cows and
heifers were on sain and they brought
about the same prices 113 yesterday.
Everything In the way of butchers' stock
changed bands in good season. Some
choice heifers and steers sold up to $3.93.
The fresh receipts of stockers and feeders
were light , though there were more of that
kind of cattle than any other in the yards ,
'Hie light receipts , together with the fact
that the country bought freely yester
day , made operators good buyers today ,
The offerings wcro mostly all taken in
good season and at prices , if anything , ti
little stronger than yesterday. Representa

The secretory of wnr was a wise man when ,

MC13.
MC13.What
What would New York do It attacked by a.
slronR naval fleet ? Fight them with Fort
Hamilton and Fort Wnilswortli , of course.
What If nn enemy should anchor beyond the
range of our guns nnd throw shells Into
Ilrooklyn ? Fight them with torpcilocs. This
used to be the regular argument advanced In
such cases , nnd every time It came up the
world laughed at us. The people gradually
began to realize that the length nnd breadth
of a country do not win battles. Complica
tions with Spain on the Cuban question
brought matters to a crisis some time ago
ntul set 'the Ideas of statesmen and military
men running In the proper channel.
The report of General Miles to congrcsi
Inst year was n trumpet nolo that fairly
startled congress Into Immediate action. In
this report General Miles practically stated
that the adequate defence of Now York could
novcr be accomplished without proper forti
fications at Sandy Hook. It was his strong
belief that a fort should bn built and gar
risoned , and that a force of nrlllery should
bo permanently stationed there.
Shortly after this report was made work
on the formications was begun. It was
named Fort Hancock. The building of n
great fort Is no child's play. It requires
quito ns much labor as do the great build
ings of this city. First there is the loose
sand to be dug out and carted away. Sandy
Hook is well named. It is nothing moro
than a long strip of shitting sand , varying In
width with the building up and tearing away
of thy winter storms.
HUIUK1) IN SAND.
In this unstable sand Fort Hancock Is
practically buried. You can see very little
of it from the passing steamers , and this Is
the only way nowadays In which It can bo
observed. The enormous embrasures loom
heavy and angular above the sand , lllto the
teeth of a skeleton.
lusldo there Is a semicircle of monstrous
guns , whoso black and cavernous mouths
yawn Just over the edge of the ramparts ,
rheso guns are mounted on disappearing
carriages , and In time of action It would bo
a grand sight to see them leap Into sight ,
with a swing and a roar , and then sink back
again while yet ( lie projectile they have
thrown Is whistling through the air two
miles away.
Fort Hancock is by far the strongest fortl-
ftcation commanding the approaches to New
ork. H combines the Impregnability of ix
bomb-proof with the destructlvencss of a
licet of men-of-war. It Is practically impene
trable now. it would go hard Indeed with a
fleet that should attempt to land Its boat
loads of marines and storm the fort.
AN UXDEnOHOUKD FORT.
Nevertheless Fort Hancock Is not a fine
fortification to look at. Tliero is more to
be seen under ground than over. It does
not brlstlo like other forts. Almost
the only things visible above the concrete
walls are the two long dynamite guns , pro
jecting from a sort of tower at the end ot
the Hook. It Is possible that they are not
yet in position , and that In time they , too ,
will be sunk to the level of the sand.
The form of attack which Fort Hancock
has most to fear Is by shells and dyna
mite. If an enemy sailing up to the Sandy
Hook lightship can throw as much dyna
mite at the fort as the fort returns , the
latter Is liable to suffer severely. In this
respect an attacking uhlp would have mudi
thu bust of It.
IJtlng H moving target It would stand a
better chance of escaping the deadly Impact
of a 100-pound dynamite cartridge. With
the completion of Fort Hancock the defense
ot Now York harbor Is practically complete.
According to military men , however , much
remains to be clone over on the other sldo
of Long island before New Yorkers can
sleep In peace under nn impending attack.
There Is very little to prevent a licet from
sailing right into Flushing bay and throw
ing shells and shot into New York Oily.
Fort Schuyler is out of reach nnd practi
cally useless , as the targets of an enemy's
men-of-war would bo concealed behind the
low lying hills and woods to the south.
Until the government works out the prob
lem of the defense of Flushing bay the de
fense of this city will remain as fragile
as ever.
ever.AN
AN ATTACK UY THE SOUND.
The erection of Fort Hancock nt Saudy
Hook merely drives the enemy Into the
sound , where they will find vastly less re
sistance. Most of the guns In Fort Hancock
are of the 12-inch varloty. and are capable
of hurling projectiles as far ns Long Jloacli
on the north and as far IIH Sandy Hook
lightship on tl'c east. Should an enemy
get past the Hook. Fort Hancock could fol
low It with shot , shell and dynamite as far
as Fort WadBworth.
Search lights of tremendous power will
also bo rigged In the fort as soon UK prac
ticable.
Generally speaking , artillery ofllcorn nro
exceedingly cautious in speaking of .Fort
Hancock. Secretary Lament has lately Is
sued nn order strictly forbidding any ex
pression of opinion on the merlin or demerits
of the defense of New York harbor.
fioneral Kuger , In command at Governor * !
Inland , said that ho knew absolutely noth
ing about Fort Hancock beyond the fnct
that it was In a strong strategic position ,
and could easily c.ommnud all the harbor
approaches.
Neither Major Adams nor Colonel Olllcn-
plo of the Engineer corps , under whose di
rection the work was accomplished , would
say anything about the completion of tha
fort , or bow noon it would bo garrisoned
by the requisite nrtllli'ry companion , "All
I can s.iynald Major Adams , "in that
the fort will bo flttod out with the heaviest
kind of guns that can bo lined effectually. "
In the Army building an army ofllccr wns
found who wus raoro communlratlvo , but
who consented to speak only under a pludgo
of seurocY.
"Yes , " nalil he , "I have been over to Fort
Hancock , and have Keen all there Is to bo
sewn about It. The work In not fully com
pleted yet , and I do not Itnow when It will
be ready for ( ho artillery companion , In
my opinion. Fort Hancock can fully pro
tect New York , at far an nn imsaiilt from
the harbo" Is concerned , Hut It only shifts
the possibilities. Them In practically noth
ing to prevent nn nttaik through l eng
Island found , which would be fully as disas

within A year or two , however. "
