WASHINGTON. Oct. II. Th annual re
port ot General O. L. Gillespie, cblet of
engineers of the United States army, pre
aenta comprshenilv view of the condi
tion ot (ortlBcatlona throughout the coun
try. After firing a Hat of thirty-one polnta
at which projecta for permanent aeacoaat
dcfenaea hay been adopted, the report ay
the detent of the great lake and the St.
Lawrence I under consideration, and alto
that projecta for defente at Porto Rico,
Hawaii, Guam, Manila and Fubig bar hav
been approved by the secretary of war.
With reference to the last mentioned
plana the opinion la given- that construc
tion ahould begin at an early day.
"It ia believed," the report continue,
""that the time baa com when it will be
'no longer possible to Ignore the question
! of Insular defenses. The Navy department
is properly Insistent that all the Impor
. tant coaling stations ahould receive proper
' protection.",
Waits Board Appointed.
' With regard to defense for coaling sta-
tlona the auggestlon I made that In view
of change in the construction ot ordnance
and ahlpa congress should make provision
for tha appointment of a tribunal similar
to tho Endlcott board of 1888 for the de
termination of details. This board ahould
hav Jurisdiction over the naval bases at
I Manila, Pearl Harbor and Honolulu, aa well
I aa the propoaed defenses tor tha St. Law
Irene and the great lakes.
' Somewhat more than 0 per cent of the
' aeacoast defense ar now completed,
j twenty-fiv of the principal harbors hav
'a sufficient number of heavy gun and mor
tara to permit an effective detent against
naval attack and during the past two year
! considerable progress haa been made In the
j installation of rapid-fir armament, now
the matter of first choice.
Tha existing projecta comprise 356 heavy
guna of 8-Inch, 10-Inch and 12-inch cali
bers, 1,294 rapid-fire guns from 2.24 inch
to 0-Inch caliber and 644 mortar.
The total coat for the engineering work
Sa estimated at 150,000,000, Including what
; haa been completed, aa well aa what re
main to be done. Recommendation I made
.'that authority be given for the resumption
' of th manufacture of mortara which, it la
claimed ar an ffectlv defense within
their rang.

EDUCATION IS0F NO BENEFIT
ladlans la Oklahoma Do Hat Progt
by Advantages
Offered.
WASHINGTON, Oct. II. A yere ar
raignment of the Indian on th Ponca,
Otoe and Oakland r enervations In Okla
homa la made by Agent Erwlo, in charge of
the reservation, In hit annual report to the
commissioner of Indian affairs. The report
taya:
Hardly any of the rouni Indians, those
who have graduated from nonreservatlon
cnools as well as those who nave attended
for a number of years, do any work at all.
It can be set down aa a nerfertlv safe rula
that na a class the young educated Indiana
ire in m-wt wortnieK ones in tne wnoi
Hue. Nearly all ot the work done bv the
tribes 1 performed by the middle-aged,
able-bodied ones, who cannot writs or speak
En.llsh.
Tne educated Indian rnmln from tha
schools, usually a'ves the excuse that he
has nothing with which to work, neither
money. Implements nor stock of any kind.
This is true, but I notice that they manage
to live on ineir annuities ana lease money
and buy horses, buggies, etc., on credit and
Dorrow money rrom the banks with very
little prospect of ever being able to pay
their debts.
Any able-bodied man or woman la able to
obtain work at fair wages. Many of the
people are addicted to drink and both mi'ii
otid wemen are Inverterate gamblers. They
have practically nothing- to do. Their daya
are pnent In almost utter idleness and vice
and debauchery are rampant.
The depredation of thcne nennle will nnn-
tlnue and Increase until they are made to
work and live by the result of their labors.
A a remedy for this condition of affairs
the agent recommends that the Indian
children be educated only at reservation
boarding schools, further education being
SO per cent waste of effort and money;
that the schools under th jurisdiction of
the Oklahoma government be established
among those Indiana ao that the latter can
com Into constant contact with white chil
dren, and that th payments by th gov
ernment from their trust funds now in
the United States treasury be used to
enable them to start In farming and stock
raising. ,
, Provision ha been mad for placing 331
heavy gun, 483 rapld-flr guna and 876
12-Inch mortara. During the year the ad-
dltlon to the completed armament of the
'coast amounted to eight 12-lnch guna, three
(-Inch gun 20 rapld-flr guns and 34 mor
; tar. It la Intended to devote the appro
' prlation ot last June to the construction of
emplacements for two 12-lnch guns, four
10-inch guns, forty-four 6-lnch gun and
llfty-two 15-pounder.
Report 1 mad of sites purchased dur
ing the year and an appropriation of
, 12,000,000 for the purpoae of aecurlng still
