Fort defenses pushed to readiness with new training rule
Gen Randolph urges War Department orders to keep gun mechanisms in good order at forts and require constant training. He favors short notice target practice to prove efficiency. Post commanders would be forced to maintain readiness to deter neglect and ensure guns can function when needed. A board found guns and tools lost beyond recovery at one post. The push seeks energetic measures to keep coast fortifications efficient. A coral reef fish survey near Apia Samoa reports 453 distinct varieties, with many previously unknown, as Dr Jordan and a US Fish Commission party explore TUTuila waters next.
