tgg Irfils Country Sfibtiitf Prepare InEED OF COAST DEFENSES jb ISCRBASE OF THE ABUT IS RECOMMEXDKD foist Hade br the Commanding Officer In His Annul Report facets Dispatch to the Chronicle WASHINGTON November 1L The an jraal report of General MUescammanding itbrArmy was made public to day The wrspnnel shown to be In excellent conditio veil instructed efficient and at teatire to duty Liberal appropriations i art reioired for public buildings at the i post many of which are out of repair General Miles believes that the peaceable conditions now existing among the various 1 Indian tribes is largely attributable to th presence of troops at suitable points and to the admirable conduct of the experienced army officers who have been placet In charge of the principal agencies VWle it is economical and desirable to have the reserve forces of the Army near the great centers of communication General Miles urgently contends that these points should be selected for their strategic value and that the tendency toward concentration should not be carried to the point of depriving the Western settlements of proper protection Under the head of coast defenses General Miles states that the condition of these defenses is such as to require decided and immediate action for their Improvement The unguarded condition I of our coast is known by every first class power and our people should not be led Into false security He quotes from his report of 1SS4 a strong argument for the defense of Puget sound He shows that since the time the new Canadian railroad connections have been established there cot a single gun has been placed in posl tlon for defense while those at the entrance of the Columbia are obsolete and of little value It Is true that some progress bis been made toward defending San Francisco and a few modern guns and rifles have been placed These however art but a small part of the general plan for the defense of the harbor while San Diego is in the same condition as Puget sound entirely at the mercy of any foreign fleet General Miles recalls what he said In his report of 1889 upon the absolute Importance of the defense of the entire Pacific Coast in view of the fact that it was possible for any naval power to blockade every important port within ninety days while it would take many years to make a successful resistance and the country might be required to pay an indemnity of 5000000000 While the railroads might transport 1000000 brave men to the Coast they would be useless without appliances to cope with the modern engines of war and with all our intelligence pride inventive genius and enterprise we are as far behind in the modern appliances of war as China or Japan Such were the conditions six years ago says General Miles and such are the conditions to day with the exception of I the slight progress made at San Fran Cisco The entire gulf coast and all the great cities of the Atlantic coast northward to Philadelphia are entirely with jout modern guns In position are a few obsolete guns and none of these batteries could stop a single first class war ship much less a fleet Some progress has been made at New York but like San Francisco only a small part of the project feu been accomplished With one exception the cities north of New York are la a similar condition To the south of it some guns and mortars have been constructed and some shipped to their destination Carriages for them are under construction and emplacements have been made to a limited extent General Miles In support of his recommendation for adequate coast defense points to the fact that the batteries at Moultrie and Sumter kept at bay for four years the most powerful fleet In the world He says that our people cherish two misleading delusions first that torpedoes can be depended upon to protect ojr coasts and second that its 4000 miles of coast can be defended by a navy He hows that torpedo plants are useless without protective batteries and that the water In our principal harbors is so deep that light draught war vessels might pass over torpedo mines without danger He asserts that the recent maneuvers in England have shown that even the powerful British navy Is unable to defend the British coast against a foreign fleet therefore he argues that the main reliance must be upon coast batteries While as not anticipate war in the near future he shows that in the last 200 years in less than 10 per cent of the wars has i5re been any formal warning or declaration before hostilities and it vnuM require years of time to construct modern weapons of war it would be unwise to disregard the lessons of history In our own country for nearly 200 years there has never been a period of thirty five years In which it has not been involved In war General Miles points to the case of China which made the fatal mistake of relying upon Its vastly superior numbers Uey and sues that the best guarantee of peace Is a condition of readiness I Tnrefore he strongly recommends the construction of all the high Power guns and system of defenses called tor in the general plan of the Board of wonance and Fortifications and other ooaras and to meet in part the expense LKi cosUy undertaking he suggests the PPUcatn of the funds that might be oerived from the sale of abandoned military reservations To man these guns be Kili creae

AMERI CAN ISTHMUS Resnlt of the Operations ol a Stroma Financial Syndicate Special Dispatch to the Chronicle COLON November 1L A syndicate was formed a month since among the leading merchants of Panama and Colon to con trol the silver currency In circulation on the Isthmus of Panama and has been so far successful enough to seriously affect the Panama Company and in a lesser de gree the Panama Railroad to their detri ment It has caused a reduction in the premium on gold from 245 per cent to 200 per cent and it now looks as if gold would go still lower In consequence of the exportation of large sums to New York London and elsewhere and the locking up of other sums The scarcltv of silver onin la seriously felt In business transactions and United States English and French coins circulate almost as freely as the legal coinage of the country Both the Panama Canal and the railroad companies have trouble to get sufficient Colombian coins to pay laborers unless they buy from the syndicate at the price dictated by It To circumvent this movement the Panama Railroad lately purchased 150000 of Colombian silver in New York at the market price and shipped It to Colon but before it arrived the syndicate was informed of the fact by cable and application was made to the Governor of Panama to enforce a law passed in 1892 which prohibits the importation of silver coin of any country less than 900 fine This law was passed to prevent the Importation and circulation of Peruvian and Mexican soles which at the time were at a greater discount than Colombian silver The Governor refused to allow the railway company to land the money even though It was the legal currency of the country and relief was sought by cabling the National authorities at Bagota the capital but up to the time of the sailing of the vessel upon which the coin was shipped no reply had been received and It was returned to New York If the National authorities uphold the action of the Government of Panama and legal coinage of the republic is prohibited from being returned If once exported the syndicate can make what coins remain in the country of equal value to gold If It so desires Abroad the value is controlled by the price of silver bullion and at present 1 in Colombian silver is worth about 46H cents in unuea Biaies currency rne ran ama Canal Company which Is now em ploying about 2600 men who receive from 90 cents to Jl 60 per day secures its silver currency xor its mommy pay roils Dy selling drafts on Paris London or New York andis at the mercy of the syndicate unless It adopts a gold basis in payment for labor or can buy Colombian silver in New York or London at its marxet value iiiipi AND THE De WoH HopperMakes His Appearance WANG IS ENTERTAINING DAZBY HAS A MELODRAMA AT THE CALIFORNIA New BUIa at the Alcasar and the Grand Minstrels and Opera Variety The expectancy which showed in the faces of the crowded audience at th Baldwin Theater last night waa ful nied ana De Wolf Hoppers engage ment is likely to be a flattering suc la the nursery rhyme songand dance by the children and Wang and the Crown Prince which made a great hit last night as well as the old Man In the Moon song which we hear for the first time in the original place There is promise of a crowded business this week A great many of those incidents and situations which make the usual melodrama fall gracefully Into line in Daleys melodrama The War of Wealth produced for the first time In this city at the California Theater last eveninj The War of Wealth Is not so even a play as that other popular Dazey melodrama In Old Kentucky It Abounds with such time honored phrases as Ah Here he comes and the hero approaches I hear her footsteps and lo the heroine is there But when they do come they have such a tremendous amount of good hard work to do villainy to expose poverty to extol and virtue to unhold that the hackneyed old phrases become secondary and the stirring scenes quicken the pulses and stimulate the palms to ready action The War of Wealth might have been a pantomime and the audience could without difficulty have correctly supplied the lines The two exciting climaxes the rescue of the heroine in the first act and the run on the bank at the end of the third would make a success of a much worse play than The War of Wealth The cast is about up to the average of IEEI1HE I Seven Men

Judge McKennayesterday took Under advlsementr the question the liability of the president of the North Bloomfleld a permit under the National Debris Com cess Wang is old and In the house were a great many who recalled its presentation in New York and the East Some of them may have noted that there was not the same lavish display of figures and costumes as then but we cannot expect that Hopper can afford to bring across the continent the ex ceptional contingent he can put on cheaply In the metropolis We have heard pirated most of the things In It which when It was new made it an enthusiastic go but it had a freshness and a vim which overcame whatever influence that might have exercised To say that It went merrily all through means so much more therefore than if It had been all new material Of its kind Wang is one of the best productions we have seen The plot Is humorous and the libretto on those lines of laugh making absurdity Is clever Cheever Goodwin understands that work better than any man In this country and he writes it with facility and felicity Woolson Morse has a com mand of Jingle as well as ability to put in here and there a pretty strain The whole show is full of movement color and life while the Interest In the leading characters Is much stronger than usual The Idea of the Regent of Slam in his desperate financial state having to marry a widow with a whole com pany of children to get hold of the treas ure chest Is of Itself funny but there Is a piquant difference which is very effective In the contrast between him and the little Crown Prince and In ract every Doay else It is the rarest thing on the stageto find an immensely tall man funny except by contrast De Wolf Hopper Is not only amusing by contrast but he Is funny by himself Indeed he Is the cleverest monologue performer of any of those comic opera comedians His Interpolation last night of his celebrated recitation of Casey at the Bat and some other things was as entertaining a part of the play as any He is a fine reciter and touches comedy tragedy and pathos with an ease which none uf his rivals in the business possesses He has an unusually good voice and sings when he likes well He speaks clearly and can do a patter song with remarkable enunciation and personally he has magnetism Even with a lame foot which seriously interfered with his sprlghtllness last night he put plenty of life Into the Regent The performance of Edna Wallace Hopper who has only been away from home three years came as something a surprise to those who expected a good deal That in this short time she should have absolutely gained a mattery over the stage business of comic opera Is quite notable As the Crown Prince she was as dainty merry and refined a little fellow as one could Imagine She trod the stage and went through her part with the perfect assurance of a veteran she was graceful really young mannishwithout staginess of any kind and although she has no great singing voice it was not her least clever feature the effective way In which shegave expression to her music She is certainly one of the most talented girls In comic opera and while there is constant aggressive assertion about the soubrette in a boys character as a rule she has none of it at all Her success pleased the audience and led the way to the reception which was given later to her husband De Wolf Hopper grows on you as he progresses until everything he does becomes funny There are plenty of gags in the play some of them new some of them old and lots of the business would be silly if it were rot for Hoppers doing It He Is less of A clown than some of the others we have seen he does not go away from the business or the character as mucn ana ms funniest work is In what one might call the logical aosurdity of the thing He has brought some clever people and although he and Edna Wallace are the two central figures they do not quite monopoliie the good work There la really comedy In Guises Colon pi and Alice Hosmers widow Is a straight performance or great merit Bertha Watxlnger sings prettily and acts well and Ida Lester is an attractive Gillette Alfred Kleins Pe pat Is a very humorous performance

Belle Bucklln who has already made for herself a popular name here as the hoyden with the strawberries In The Girl I Left Behind Me The play was effectively mounted and the many changes of scenes in the third act very cleverly managed It is booked at the California for a two weeks run and will doubtless draw crowded houses It Is hardly necessary to give any extended comment now to the performance of The Private Secretary in Leonard Grovers version which is the bill this week at the Alcazar Theater It is one of the best representations the play has had for Leonard Grover Jr is a very clever Comedian in Spauldlng and Grover Sr Is a capital Cattermole The play has plenty of vitality in spite or its many performances in this city The Open Gate a particularly pretty little one act comedy Is
