Forts for the Canal to Protect the Terminals
Secretary Taft plans to visit the isthmus to study fortifications at Panama. A Taft fortifications board will accompany him, led by Maj. Gen Story and including Brig. Gen McKenzie and Maj. Goethals. The first treaty prohibited fortifications but the revised treaty allows US military force to police the canal. Captain Bowyer was ordered to prepare the cruiser Columbia for Taft’s trip, docking in New York and sailing next Monday.
