The Salisbury Administration, recognising the importance of the improve. mont of the military defances of these statidan, has arranged for the carrying out of very effective moszures. At the mooting of the Legislative Council on Monday, the Colonial Secretary submitted a despatch from the Secretary of State puspecting the Defence Works at Hongkong. In that | document Mr Chamberlain states that since the construction of the defence works at Hongkong, it had been found necessary at all stations to provide a more efficient defence against torpedo craft, and it was now proposed to make the necessary clungs of armament. The estimated cost of such armament, including guns, mountings, &c., is £23,500; and the total estimated cost of the necessary works in connection with the now armament is £8,230; this amount be-
ing made up as follows-Emplacements, &c.. at Stone-cutters, £1,90; Emplace ments at Belcher's Peins, £4,000; Platforms,
Magazines, &c, at Lyemun, £1,500; and for Machine Guns Storage for six general defence, £830. Following the precedent in regard to the cost of Arnament, For existing works and
