Wholesale MUST FORTIFY OUR SEAPORTS General Miles Urges This in His Annual Report. lie Siijh Torpedoes and a Navy Cannot be Depended Upon to Dofend Our Sea Coast or 40,000 Miles and That the Mala lteU*nce Must Be In Coast Bat terles?Other Mattere, Washington, Nov. 11 ?The annual report of General Miles, commanding the army, was made public to day. The personnel la shown to be in excellent condition, well instructed, efficient and attentive to duty. Liberal appropria? tions aro required for public buildings at the posts, many of which are out of repair. Uoneral Miles believes that the peaceful conditions now oxlsting among the various Indian tribes is largely at? tributable to tho presDnco of troops at suitable points. Under the heal of coast dofons9 (ion oral Miles states that the condition ot these*defenses is such aB to require de? cided and immediate action lor their improvement. Tho unguarded condition ot our coast is known by every flrBt class power and our people should not bo led into false security. lie says that our people c'aeriah two misleading delusions, ?rsc, that tor? pedoes can bo depended on to protect our coasts; and, second, that its 40.000 miles of coist cm bo defended by a navy. IIa bau ?s that torpedo plants aro useless without protective batteries, and that the water In our principal harbors ia no deep that light draft warshipB might pass over torpedo guns without danger. Ho assorts that meant mamouvres In England bavo shown that evon tho powerful British nav7 la unable to defend tho Hritish coast against a foreign fleet; therefore, hu argues, that tho main reliance must bo upon coast batteries. While ho dous not anticipate war in the near future, he shows that, in tho last SCO yours, in less than ton per cent, of thG wars has thero beon any formal declaration before hostili? ties, and it would require years of time to construct; modern woapona of war, and it would bo unwise to disregard tho logons of history. In our own country for nearly two bund red yearn thp.ro has n^vor boon r.ericd of thirty-flvo yoara In whloh it has not be2n Involved In war. He points to the case of China, which made tho fatal mistake of rolylng upon its vastly superior numbers for safety and arguus that the host guarantee of peace is a condition of readiness for war. Therefore he strongly recommends the construction of all the high power guns and system of defenses called for in the general plan of the board of ordl nanco and fortifications and other boards and to meet in part the expense of this costly undertaking be suggests the application of tho funds that might be derived from the sale of abandoned military reservations.

The dry weather, whiob haB principally destroyed tho top crop in many localities and injured it everywhere, has been favorable for picking, so that the fibre is generally reported clean and in good condition. The damage from drought is not con? fined to particular States, none being free from it. CROPS OF THK OOUNTRV, Corn the Largest on Record?Some Dam? age From Drought.

In the Virginias and Carolinas, some counties of Penn? sylvania and Maryland, the greater part of tho great lake region and Oaio val? leys, California and New Mexico reports are conflicting owing to the different acion of the universal drought upon different soils.

Pursuant to adjournment ot the Roa noke branch of University alumni from last Friday night, and. to the call of Mayor Jones, a number of prominent citizens assembled in tho circuit court room last night to raise money to re? store tbe University building. The mayor called the meeting to order and Walter H Saunders was elected aeoretary. Luclan H Occke stated the object of tho meeting, and said that the fact that only a small crowd was pres? ent, did not prove lack ot interest on the part of the citizens of Roanoke In the restoration of tbe University, but could be attributed to the very inclem? ent woathor. ''Contributions," ho said, "will be free-wl? otTarlngs, and it ia not expected that aovono should tax themselves onerously." Mr. Cookn moved that tho resolutions offorod by Judge Robertson at the last meeting of tho alumni, and then laid upon tbo table, should bo adopted, which wan carried.

Philadelphia, Pa., Nov. 11.?News of the sinking at soa and the loos of a portion of the crew of the Amerioan bark William Hales, by a collision on November 8, during a dense tog with the Ward steamship Niagara, outward hound with a general cargo and a num? ber of passengers, was oontained in a cablegram reooived here to-day by tho agents of tho Niagara. It is dauol Nassau, where Captain Combis, her master, Mate Georgo W. lClmmotto s^d Qyo of hersearaon had just been landed by the Niagara. Fivo of tho crow v/ero drowned, every possible effort to save thi in having failed. The William Hales left hero August 33 last for Havana, to return with^a general cargo of bonos, and shipped at this port a crew of twelve men, as fol? lows: George W. Kimmatto, mate; A. Golman, second mate; Bornard E. Surus, steward; and teamen, Wm. Donovan, Christian NcilEon, Charles Rosenttold, Jacob Roiluck, August, Bunlas, Charles Bock, Emil Gmskena and Wm. H&upt. The names of tho saved could not be learned, though the cable announced ,-thj'. tho captain's mate was among 'those rescued. No details of the collision cou'.d bo obtained, all the messages received both by the voisel's agents and tho Maritime Exchange being vary brlof. The Ualos is known to have left Havana on October 27, and under ordinary con? ditions, at tho time, should have been to tbo northward of Uatteras. Both vessels, no doubt, became enveloped in the denso fee which ha9 prevailed in this locality for several days past and a misunderstanding of fog siguals ied to tho collision. The Hales wes cut almost in two and wont down bo rapidly that thero was little time to eifoct the rescuo of be" crew. Dispatches say that the Niagara is but slighUy damaged and will ro 6umo her trip to Cuba. Tho friends of tbo aearaon on board this vessel, all of whom are well known hero, aro greatly distressed about their safoty and it is thought sure that citoward Surus and Second Mate Coleman crj among tho lost. The William Hales was a regular trader of this port. She was built in Newburyport in 1887 and was owned principally- in New York by Captain John B. Stahl. Both vesB'-l and cargo were insured.

CUBA AND THE UNITED STATES President Palma Will Visit Wash? ington 8oon To Urgo on Congress the Most Detlrable Policy to Pursue-Cubans Do Not Now Want Belligerent Rights, But Will Urge Thnt the United States Fnt an End to the Revolution. Washington, Nov. 11 ? President Thomas Estrada Palms, tho head of the Cuban revolutionary party, will come to Washington within the next few days. It is expected that his visit will result in a more definite line of policy regarding what Cubans will suggest or urge upon CongreBS as the most desira? ble course for tho United S'.ates to adopt. Mr. Palma 1b not only president of tho American branch of the Cuban organization, but he has recently re? ceived a commission from tho insurgent government in Cuba constituting him their ofilcial reproeontatlvo In tho Unl'od States. Under these circumstances a move? ment is on foot to have Mr. Palma rpmovo bis headquarters from New York to Washington in order to be near tho seat of government while the Cuban question is undor consideration. This, however, Is n matter for future consid? eration, as bis coming visit will he temporary. Thus far tho polloy of tho Cubans has been toward securing from the United States a recognition of the belligerent rights of tho insurgents. Now, howevor, there is an influen? tial element against this course. Thoy say It would prove disastrous to Ameri? can shipping, as It would porrhit Spain to solze American merchant ships, sus? pected of carrying contraband goods on the high Boas, whereat these oeizures cannot be made at tho prosont time outside the three-mllo limit of the Cuban coast. Instead of rcoognltion to the insurgents, it is being urged that the United Stit93 should take stons to put an end to tho revolution In Cuba. Tho report that General Misso had boon commissioned to come to Wash? ington in behalf of tho insurgents is regarded as untruo by thoso best In? formed of the courso of tbo Cuban leaders. km1ie7.zlkk ward, Teuucssce OtticIaU Preparing for Ills Ex? tradition.
