Maj. Langfitt, commanding the battalion of engineers, has been asked to lose no time in leaving for Honolulu, in ad vance of his command. Bein'g a skilled engineer, he will make a preliminary survey of the harbor and plan in a su perficial way the fortifications that will be erected at once. The defenses are to be of the most modern and formidable kind. "Uncle Sam will make Honolulu im pregnable," said a prominent officer last night. "The city is to be a naval and military base and will be the site of the strongest fortifications in the world, if money and brains can con struct them. This will take time, but meanwhile steps will be taken so thai, the city will not be open to attack. A reservation will be secured by the Army, and on it will be erected bar racks and "houses for officers, to form a post of considerable size. "Just how many men will compose the garrison cannot be said, but I look for several thousand to be detailed for the Islands within the next three months. Before three years nave elapsed Honolulu and Pearl Harbor will be able to defy the battleships of any hostile nation. The next Congress will be asked to make a large appro priation for this purpose, and millions will be spent in the work." l.iliuokalani Returns.
