the area to be protected is so onêrmons that a far inrgor ontlay than can be contemplated for any ose locality would only result in this isplation of the defenders and in giving additional security to a preferential conta. Thasa contusions wore doolsive against any greetexpenditure upon places i important only from their strategies position. but it was evident that moms for points would have to be exceptionally treated. In this view special messures have been taken at Pasha Mooitan, Lucknow, Gwalior, Nagpore, Mhow, Ajmere and Bevarderabad. At all these places of great political and strategical in portance, projecte more or less ambitious in favour of large fortified positions hara wisely given way to the improvement and strongthen- ing of existing works, so as to make thom cap- able of protecting, the ordnance establishments and offering a secure place of refuse Peshawar may be prominently afted as an instance in which a discussion of alxaqsta quarter of a century's dar ation has been solved by the happy acinsideuse of the Military Member of Conseil haring him: wolf held the Peshawar command and thus having a thorough knowledge of the locality. The de cision arrived at involves the abandonment of the larga project of tortifying the cantonment; but the Bals Hissar will be made perfectly. euro, and at last one half of the European gar. rison will be loosted during the bat sinn Tal Innrance Company, imited-Tis. 168 propwly constrasted barracks on the satis heights of Chorat. Moolah the 83 - tical good sease has been shown in the slept- ation of meas to ends. After prolonged discussion it has been decided to abandon the old fort, which is a fort in name only, as mon as a new fort, on a smaller scale, can be constrasted pear the cantonments which it will be anate to protast. Spsos fails to explain in detall what will be done af the ather places last mentioned, but Satara, in the Bombay Presidency, should be added to the list. as it occupies a coninsading position on the western ghats, and has been put in an adegaste Bate of defence. Lastly, spacial consideration has been given to the necessity of protecting such vulnerable points as are offered by bridges on main lines of road or railway communication, such as, for instance, at Attack, Delhi and Benares, each of which is being made soeurs against any sulien rash or prolonged attack that may in reason be anticipated. As for planos of raingo, it is obvious fast the used and extent of them will vary as railway communication in expanded, the problem being to make them ade-
quats, at a reasonable cost, to these varriages ditions, and this problem has not been est sight of. The aggregate coat of all the aspres, including coast and internal droness, has been shant £200,000, of which hut two-thirds have been expanded on original works and one-third on repairs.
