Captain Ayres argues for mobilizing coast defense forces by training National Guard regiments in shore states to man and drill fortifications. He notes large postwar fort expenditures but doubts a 50,000-strong permanent coast army. The piece also reflects on Cuban independence and U.S. policy, praising Cuban resolve and critiquing political dynamics around McKinley and Congress.
