ENGLAND'S NEW GIBRALTAR.
The New Fortress Secretly Built
on the Straits of Fuca.
Here is an extract from a Vic-
toria letter in the Seattle (Wash.)
Post-Intelligencer: Within a year
it is confidently expected that the
Straits of Fuca will echc the music
of the shore guns at Esquiinalt,
Great Britain's new and most
modern line of defenses at the
southern extremity of Vancouver
Island. Never has a military un-
dertaking in time of profonndest
peace been prosecuted with strict-
er secrecy than the construction of
these fortifications, and all that
Victoria knows about the marvel-
ous system of protection at their
doors might be told iu a few brief
paragraphs that the new forts are
designed for stern work, not for
display; that their armament will
be the most modern and best iu
the world; that submarine mines
and torpedoes aie a prominent
feature; that the "forts" are lo-
cated somewhere in the bowels of
the earth between Point Macauley
and Esquiinalt naval yard; that
the magazines are stocked for siege
if necessary, and that the work of
construction is now nearly accom-
plished, and that of equipment has
begun.
At present the subaqueous mines
are l>eiug placed in position at the
eutrance to Esquiinalt harbor and
in the Bo\al Roads, and the point
is beginning to again assume more
of the appearance of a well order-
ed militai v barracks and less that
of a great mining camp.
Headers of the rost-Intelligen-
cer were, when the work com-
menced, given au idea of the plan
of fortification—a system of great
tunnels an»l ordnance rising there-
5111 on giant elevators hydrauli-
cally operated: the guns visible
and exposed only in the brief mo-
ment required to sipht and fire
them. This general j lan lias been
faithfully carried out, and the to-
pography of the point as viewed
from the water has in consequence
changed considerably. The hill
has disappeared aud hundreds of
tons of earth aud rock from the
excavations have filled in the min-
iature valley. How the forts look
from the shore none can say save
the uncommunicative officers in
charge, for in the past two yeais
the scene of operations has night
and day been surrounded by aline
ot sentinels, to pass whom noth-
ing less than an order from the
Imperial War office was required.
The workmen, too, have been
changed about, so that it would
l>e impossible for any of them,
even should he feel so inclined, to
disclose the secrets of the strong-
hold. And not even the highest
officers of the resident militia have
as yet l>eeu admitted within the
sacred precincts bounded by that
faithful sentiy line.

about 300 Winchester and Rem-
ington rifles, besides a number of

carried more than 500 pounds of
dynamite, two small cannous and
500,000 rounds of ammunition.
