The estimate for fortifications and scix- "oast defenses has been Increased to $15,824- )2S ) , an amount. Secretary Lament says , vhlcb will bo required to continue this work at Its present rate of progress , which has > ecn appreciably advanced under the large appropriation which became available on he 1st of July last. In connection with his estimate the secretary has made public a statement of the condition of his work , the advance that has been mode by the Increased ipproprlatlon which he asks. On the 1st of July , 1893 , but ono modern gun had been ilaccd In position. On the 1st of July , 1SI7 ! , he department shall have completed de- defenses with armament as follows : Thlr- ccn twelve-Inch , thirty-seven ten-Inch , eight eicht-lnch and four rapld-flro guns and eighty twelve-Inch mortars. The remainder of Secretary Lament's letter transmitting the estimates Is of a historical nature , reviewing ; ho progress made In seaconst de fense. Ho says that for the fif teen years preceding 1890 no appropriations liad been made for engineering work on our permanent coast defense except lh small and steadily decreasing sum annually allowed for the "protection , preservation and repair" of existing works , but small amountr had been granted for the construction .of mining casemates and for the purchase o * material for submarine defenses , while In 1SS8 and 1SS9 a total ot about $2.000,000 had been appropriated for modern guns , mortars and carriages. In 1S90 was made the flrsl appropriation , 11,221.000 for midcrn nun nml mortar batteries , followed by one of $750.000 In 1S91 , and by another of $500,000 In 1S92 This money was allotted by the department for construction work , at varlo'ts ports , In cluding a total of four twelve-Inch , twenty ten-Inch , flvo eight-Inch , and two rapld-flrc guns , displacements and sixty-four twelve- Inch mortar emplacements. None of them , however , could bo made lo receive Us armament until after the first small appro prlatlons made In 1893 , and the- two sue cccdlng years. Practically , Ihercforo , Ihe secretary says. It devolved upon the Wai department since 1893 to make pro visions for the completion of ncarl ; all ot these . " emplacements. "It ap pears , " the secretary says , "that seventeen out of twenty-one twelve-Inch em placements , fifty-five out of sixty-six ten- Inch emplacements , twenty out of twcuty- flvo clsht-lnch emplacements , fourteen out of sixteen rapid-lira emplacements and ninety-two out of 150 twelve-Inch mortar emplacements have been entirely provided for during the last four years , and that dur ing the same tlmo a largo part of those pre viously provUcd for have been prepared to receive their armancnt. This favorable showing Is duo to the liberality of congress at Its recent session. The number of em placements provided by the act ot June C , 1S96 , Is Just fitlyIn excess ot the total pro vided bynll preceding appropriations. The progress In armament has been equally sat isfactory. Figures are given to show that prior to the act of June 6 , 1S96 , there had boon completed twenty-one eight-Inch , fifty- six ten-Inch and twenty-one twelve-Inch guns , and eighty twelve-Inch mortars com pleted , whllo there were twenty-seven eight- Inch , thirty-five ten-Inch and twenty-nine twelve-Inch guns In process of construction. The appropriation of Juno 0 , 1896 , while leaving the completed totals , reached the Iho totals In process of construction to twenty-seven eight-Inch , fifty-six ten-Inch , fifty twelve-Inch , ten slx-poundcr rapid fire guns and sixty-six twelve-inch all steel. The secretary says : By the tlmo a now appropriation can be come available nil details of every typo of carriage will have been fully dotermjncd. With sufllclcnt money , therefore , the limit to future rapidity of progress In const de- fcnso is the combined annual capacity of public nnd private plantH to supply ma terial. Upon this fact are based the de partment's estimates for the ensuing year. These estimates will provide the following : Guns One slxtccn-lnch gun. finishing nnd assembling ( forglngs already provided ) ; twenty-one sets twelve-Inch gun forglngs , twenty-one sets ten-Inch gun for lngs : H4 all steel twelve-Inch mortars complete , fifty. live e\x \ pounder rapid-lire guns with mounts nnd 200 rounds per gun , anil twenty- four live-Inch rapld-llro guns with mounts ami 103 rounds per tain. Carriages Twenty-one twelve-Inch dlsap. pcarlng carriages , twenty ten-Inch disap pearing carriages , eight eight-Inch disap pearing1 carriages , 13s twelve-Inch mortar carriages. For Engineering Work Twenty twelve- Inch emplacements , disappearing ; nineteen ten-Inch emplacements , disappearing ; twelve eight-Inch emplacements , disappear ing : 113 rapld-llro emplacements , nnd 141 twclvo-lnch mortar emplacements.

CARDINAL SATOLLI IS SAID TO KNOW ArehtilNlioitN mill lllNlioiin Arc .Not for nil Olllee Wlileh Only fur u Ketv Short WASHINGTON , Oct. 18. The program for the meeting ot the directors of the Catholic university Indicates a brief and business like session. The meeting begins at 10:30 : on Wednesday In the senate chamber of McMahon hall. The sessions will bo private , and the Indication la that no information OE to the choice ot Bishop Keanc's successor will bo made public after the meeting or until the pope has acted on the recommcnda tloi : of the directors. The meeting of the archbishops bcgtnr Thursday morning at the same place , but this has to do with the general affairs of the church , and not with the university. Cardinal Gibbons and Archbishop Williams of Boston , Corrlgan of New York , Ryan o Philadelphia , and Gross ot Oregon arc anionf ( host- who wilt attend. There appears to bo no crystallization on any name for the rectorship to succeed Bishop Keane. Objections arc raised to most ot the names already mentioned In the press , and In university circles It lo felt that th' conjecture has not come from those wh will have a choice In the selection. Very Rev. Augustln F. Hewlt of New York , who has been mentioned. Is said to be too far advanced In years to undertake the arduous work of managing the university. One ol the members of the board has stated that It was at least settled that a man In the prlmo of life would be chcsen. Moreover , Father Hewlt belongs to the Paullst order and thus far the university has been di reeled by the regular clergy outside of the orders. Concerning Bishops Horstman of Cleveland , Bacon of Georgia , Montgomery of ' California and Spaldlng of I'c'orla , It Is said that the pope's letter stating that "rotation" shall prevail nt the university will make It Inexpedient for any bishop or nrchbluhop to accept the place , as the next rector In assured of being "rotated" out of onice after a few years' service. The tenure of Ihe bishops Is for life , so that they arc not likely to give up a place of sui'h dig nity and permanence for u temporary posi tion , which , when It was terminated , would Icuvc them without a diocese. The name of Rev. Dr. Brlnn of St. Agnes' parish , Now York , continues to be prominently men tioned. Archbishop Chapcllo of Santa Fe Is also mentioned , although the objections alr.cdy hta cd make , t unlikely that he woud : accept. It was bo who. when In charge of St. Matthews' church here , bought the tract on which the university Is now located for the small sum of $28,090. In some quarters connected with the university the Impres sion prevails that Cardinal Satolll knows who the next rector will be , and that the personal Information he will bo able to lay before the pope at an early day will be de cisive In determining the rectorship. The expectation Is that the new rector will not cntor upon his duties bcforo the Christinas holidays. viupT OF xixiyjsnsiTY Corilpr i ono of Ilnll-of-HlKtorjiVtl ) lie l.llttl Wriliirmlii- > - Uio'J'j-oBldful.

On the last rip of the Pacific coast steamship Orizaba up be Gulf of California , the officers and crew of the- vessel were nurprlscd to find ono ot ho ports they make regularly wiped oft the arth. When the ship reached the mouth of he river Cnllacan , In the state of Slnaloa. he llttlo mining town ot Altatn , which hud stood there on the Orlzaba'n previous trip , was gone. Not a building was left standing This was one of the results of the terrlblo stcrm which played havoc on the mainland coast of the. gulf September 17 and 18. The Orizaba has Just brought the first details which glvo a comprehensive Idea of the ox en t ot the damage done. The Htorm was a sort ot a composite affair , partaking of the laturo ot a tidal ' \vavo and a cloudburst. Torrents rushed down from the hills back ) f Altala and met the tidal wave carried in frcm the sra and the town was obliterated. Many of the mines located In- and from the coast were flooded by the cloudburst. Fortunately the loss ot life wag slight , and the Altaians arc now camming In cats or rudely constructed huts n little back of where the town was. Viewing the former slto of Altata from the gulf the meat strik ing objects that meet the view are the Hpara of the ships Comcta and Rebecca , and the "Icrnmji barkcntlne , Helena , which wcro jcacheil by the great wave. At Mazatlan , further up the gulf , a most remarkable result of the r.torm Is observed. In the middle of the main street of Maz.itlan , uoro than a block from the water , nits a schooner on even keel. She rode In on the Idal wave , and when It receded was left high and dry. Mazatlan took the storm fairly veil , but much damage was done. Four icrman barks that were so fortunate as to > o well off land weathered the storm of the gulf outside. They made port two days alter ho fury of the elements had subsided minus all their canvas. The San Vlnccnto mine , situated a mile to the rear of Mazatlan , was Inoded to the surface by the cloudburst , So far as Altata Is concerned It Is no now hlng for It to find Itself oft the map. Tilts s the third time the town has been nwal- owed up by the sea. Twice Iho place has n rebuilt , each tlmo nt a point further up bo Cullcan river. This time the roaldcnti vlll build well In from the coast , It Is said. WII.SOX'.S FIIINT CAMI'AHi.V Hl'ICKCII. ( Seneral Denounce * Clil- eiiKo POIIIN ; | | ! < Platform , CHARLESTOWN , W.
