HISTORIC FORTS PASSED UP Places Famous in Sons and Story Plac on Bet'red List. CHANGED CONDITIONS ALTER PLANS Forts that Have 0 Hired Their t e fnlaeaa Doomed by the War De partment's Plans for Re-organising- the Amy. Rrany western forts dear to ths norellst and the historian, but dreaded by the com mon soldier, ara doomed. The condition that lt-d to their establishment no longer existing, they are to be dismantled. Only a few days ago came the announce ment of the abandonment of Fort Niobrara, Neh.. around which half a century aft'i ruffsd an almost Incespant Indian warfare and which has been the scene of many military romances. Close on this order camo another for the evacuation of Kort McHenry. which has for 130 years uuardc! the sea approach to Baltimore and which is doubly famous as the birthplace of "The Siar Spangled Banner." Other forts a important In their day as these have been dropped or soin will be. Very naturally It is in th west that the greatest number ot these forts are found When the region west of the MIhkoutI wiy being; settled army posts were needed to protect the settlers from the Indians. But the Indian has changed his ways. He is no longer a flirhttng man. and with the disappearance of the danger of border warfare the forts tire now little more than a source of expense to the War department and of more or less hardship to the officers and men. Many of them are practically without garrisons. Fur several years the government has been abandoning one by one these frontier ports and concentrating the troops at the larger forts. Recently there have been ihandnnd these posts, once ot importance: Kort Brown, Tex.; Fert Grant. Aria,; Port Kingwld. Tex.; Fort Yates. X. D.; Alle gheny Arsenal, Pa.; Columbia Arsenal, Term.; Indianapolis Arsenal, In J., and Ken nebec Arsenal, We. Besides these absolute abandonment a number, of posts have been evacnatfld or have been In part turned over to other departments of the government. Sweeping; Cbaaaei. But a change far more sweeping than ny considered before Is to be made by the War department. Secretary Taft has Just eturned from a tour of Investigation of western posts, which was undertaken for v twofold purpose: First, to select sites Tor a chain of brlgailier post", and, secant. .... . - ....

As a result of this tour It in announced that there will be es tablluhed eight or nine posts for brigades, ind that there will be abandoned from 100 to 150 of thu L7i posts now in existence. "Tho purpose of thesu changes." suld an army otlicer, "Is in accordance with tho general plan of army reorganization. It will be much less expensive to maintain large bodies of men at central points than it Is to maintain small scattered garrisons which are often 10 or 3w miles from the railroad and where the supplies must b transported by wagon. "Furthermore, discipline can be much better preserved and an army raised to a higher degree of proficiency when the men ire held in large bodies. It is believed, too, that the soldiers, having more com panionship and more commodious quarters in a large fort, will be less likely to desert than when stationed In lonely and remote places. "Fort Ethan Allen, about slz miles from Burlington, Vt., which was established principally through the influence of Sena tor Hedtleld Proctor, will probably be made me of the brigadier posts of the east. The present reservation contains W2 acres, and A-hen the proposed additions are made to .-nlarge the drill grounds it will cover 1,300 ax-res. Since Its establishment, about tea years ago, the government has spent close on to fci.OuO.OOO on this post. "Heoretary Taft was very favorably im pressed, too, with Fort . A. Russell, Wyo., whtch la he home of Senator Wu- en, chairman of the .senate committee on military affairs. He also Inspected an other important post, Fort Iloblnsou, in Nebraska. The selection of a large post for that part of the country will most prob ably be made from these two. On thu Paoltlo coast Vancouver Barracks, Wash ington; the Presidio at Monterey, CaL. and some fort In southern California will likely be retained. Fort Oglttthorpe, Ga.; Fort Douglas, Utah, and Fort 1L D. Wright, Wash., are also mentioned favorably as candidates for brigadier honor. "The secretary was especially Impressed with Forts Iavenworth and FJley In Kan sas. Fort Sill In Oklahoma, and Fort Bam Houston, near Ban Antonio, Tex. "Of course these brigadier posts will not be the only artny posts that the country will maintain. Smaller garrisons will be continued at such forts as Snelllng. near St. Paul, and Important points in the In terior and along the coasts. But leaving these out there still remain nearly 1.50 posts that can be dlnpensed with without Injury to the s'Tvice." Imports at Posts. Fort Sill has for a number of years been considered one of the mobt Important posts of the Indian Territory. The reservation contains 50,000 acre, and adjoining this Is 40.00 acres more which may be used for military purposes. The department plans to make this erp.rcially a post for the in struction and ttuinlng of field artillery. Both Riley and Leavenworth, the two ' Kansas) forts, have figured not only In the Idstory of the state, but also lu the de velopment of the we;t. Rllev, nesr Junc : Ion Oty, has tor the laat few years been he si en of extensive maneuvers of rg uhus. aa well as of the militia of Kansat and neighboring states. Tho reservation Is extensive and Is considered by army otHfrtrs as especially adapted to the drill ing of iarge bodies of men. The depart ment has kept up here for several years a liool of instruction in army cooking. The bst known of all these forts Is ieevenworth. It was established in 1M7 m a bl'irT overlooking the MItourl river, ind during the years of the settlement of ihe great west that lies between the Mls wmri and the Rixky mountains It was tho principal depot of supplies for the pots that sprang up on the pluius for the pro t e i ion of the settlers. Fruiu here ulfo were sent out the military f jni for the vaon trains that-crossed to the gold field of California and Col orado and to the silver mines of Mexico, that guarded the wagon tialns along the old tiatiti t t'all and the von exprssa Sot ks, 5e to 75c.

Here some of the men who did dis tinguished service durlutf the civil war had their first trulnlng in actual field duty. General Lee was one of the commandant? of the post. General Grant served here as a young officer, and part of the old wall of the reservation waa built under his super vision. In the army at the present time there are few officers but have had experience at Leavenworth, either on duty there or as students at one of the officers' school The town of Leavenworth, adjoining the post. Is Jocularly known aa "the mother-in-law of the army," for it is a fact that Leavenworth has married more of her girls to officers than any other town in the country. Land forming part of this reservation, which was In the beginning very extensive," has in some cases been sold and In others, appropriated for various other purposes. The largest of United States prisons, which houses a famous collection of bankers, as well as of western despei-adoes, is situated here. This has made necessary the purchase of additional land to carry out the plan of the department aud authorization will be asked for the purchase of not more than 4.000 acres. The land that is desired lies across the Missouri river and is reached by an old bridge, one of the first built in the Missouri valley. Of all the Kansas forts these two are the oidy ones that remain. The names of other well known In frontier history are pre served in the names of the towns which grew up under their protection, as Fort Dodge, Fort Scott and Hayes, Lorned and Harker. Many of the old forts in ths Indian coun. try, in the neighborhood of Little. Big Horn, have been abandoned, for Custer's red-skinned foes ore now peaceful farmers, and the buildings that sheltered the troop era are in many lnstanooa converted Into schools for their children. With the capture of Geronino and the re moval of many of the southwest tribes to other reservations the usefulness of the forts in Arizona and New Mexico was ended. Fort Grant, one of the moet Im portant In the southwest, was several years ago abandoned, and Fort Aacbe, Arli., will soon be evacuated. Reno is perhaps the best known of the Indian Territory forts, it was built ye.. is ago in the heart of the Cheyenne am Atapahoe country and from it troops were sent against the many hostile tribes of northern Texas and the territory. Old army registers deseritw its situation as "lttt miles south of Wichita, Kan." The route of the wagon trains southward from a railway station to Reno was ore of great peril, and many trains were captured by marauding ban la of Indians. A traglo Incident in the history of the fort waa the Hennessey massacre, I'at Hennessey, an old frontiersman, wjis the driver in charge of a train of supplies froio Kansaa When about half tha Distance to Reno he was set upon by Cheyennes. He and his comrades narked their wagons and for three days held their enemy at a distance. When troops finally arrived from Reno for their relief all the men were dead and scalped, but that they bad sold ill ir lives lea ly was attested by tha number of dead savages. By the side of each man's body was a pile of empty cartridge shells. Not a single loaded one was found. Only when the last shot v.us tired had the Indians suoceeded In dosing In on them. With the building of the first railroad into the Territory lot no was Lrouuhl inio cl ier touch vtth tha rest of the world, though still twenty miles from a station. One of tho interesting sights to a tra.vo.or at Oklahoma, now Oklahoma City, were the Indian messengers and riders who met the trains. They could be followed with the eye for miles as they rodo at full speed on their fleet lliUo poult along the level Cana dian valley. The opening of Oklahuma again gave en. piyvmtjnl, aud, most active, too, to the or Mother troops stationed at Reno. Scouting parties were employed for months beCore the day appointed for tho opening in rounding up nnd driving out tho liundncds of "sooners" who wcro hidden in. the woods and draws of tlds rich promised land waiting to snatch the choicest prizes from tho incoming set tlers. The old buglers from tho cavalry troopa of Reno at noon on April 22, llW, sounded the signal that started thin remark able race for homes. The development of the country haa brought thousantls of people into the vicin ity of the fort, and now a railroad passes almost within the shadow of its walls, w nils rich farms surround it, and at tlie foot of the hill on which it stands ht one of the populous towns of the Territory. Historic and Romantic. Other forts of the territory that have had romantic histories and that were lu their day the siatluiui for famous Indian lighters, such as Arbuckle, Gibson. Tow son and Washita, have all been abandoned. Few forts of the country had a more inter esting history than has old Fort Gibson. It was built in the Cherokee nation, about seventy miles northweat of Fort Smith, in tlie early part of the last century. Many of the men, who played a prominent part in the civil war were officers hue, and from this fort, too, marched out many of the troops that did distinguished service In the Mexican war. General Scott was often at Fort Gibson, General Robert K. Lee and General Mc Clellan made frequent tours of inspection there, General Zachary Taylor, afterward president and Jefferson iJavIs, were both officers here. It was here that Jefferson Davis met his first wife, the daughter of General Taylor. Henry M. Stanley, the African exiJorer, once taught school t this post. It was to Fort Gibson that Genera Sam Houston followed his Indian love, Tahll hlna, a Cherokee girl, and there he lived with her for a long time, adopting the dress and traditions of her trlbo. Only a short time ago the body of Tahllhlna was removed from Its flrsri resting place to the rational cemetery. Into which the she of the old fort has been converted. The fate of these abandoned forts Is often as sordid as their history Is romantio. In many remote western posts the build ings, never very substantial, are left with out even a caretaker, and they and the reservation of which they were a part gradually go back to the prairie. Where town have sprung up around the posts the property is frequently sold and la devoted to commercial purposes. Columbus, O., has grown completely around the fort, and the property has in creased enormously In value. Baltimore lust now Is disturbed over the destiny of Fort McHenry. Tha city want it converted into a public park, maintain ing that when the War department r llngutshes the property aa a military post It will revert to the state of Maryland. . The government's proposal to turn It over to the the Department of Agricultural us a cattle quarantine station Is heard with Indignation.
