THE SUBMARINE
Vessel Holland Would Re-
Move Yorpedm
FROM SANTIAGO HARBOR.
It Is Said The Plan May be Con
sidered.
New York, May 28 . —Th . Frees
says J. J .Holland, buddjr of the
submarine boat Holland,
has gone to Washington with Col.
0. F. Grey for the purpose of
making an offer to thd vovern*.
ment, which if accepted perhaps
will solve the the the problem of
how to destroy Cevera’s Fleet. Mr.
Holland will submit his proposi
tion to the secretary of the na
vy at once. He is willing to un
der ake to sail his submarine into
the channel of the narrow en
trance to Santiago harbor, destroy
the mints planted there, and if
necessary proceed into the harbor
and deal a few blows at Cerveru’s
fleet.
Mr, Holland declares that his
plan to do this is entirely fea-ible.
The boat is in shape and ready for
the work, and he will agree, if the
secretary of navy thinks favor
ably of his proposal, to obtain a
crew of volunteers for the
work.
All that he will ask of the au«
thorities is transportation for his
vessel and men to JCuba. Once
there, he agrees to do the rest.
Mr. Holland proposes to take bis
boat to Santiago, tilting her out
and getting everything in ieadi«.
news under the protection of Com
modore Schley and his squadron.
Then when the opportune move
ment arrives, probably just at
dawn, theHoiland will start on its
mission.
Before it comes within sight of
the fortifications which form on
both sides of th<> entrance it will
-ink beneath the surface of the
water and steal quietly toward th p
main channel. When this is reach
ed it will reconnoiter to get the
lay outef the mine fieldsand then
withdrawing to a safe distance dis
charge one or more of its subma
rine torpedoes among the mines.
This is the regular process known
as countermining which is eimilary
ly conduced, but by a vessel
above the water which lays along
side the harbor mines ano’her se
ries which when exploded opens
up the whole channel. Mr. Holland
believes that by bis method the
channel into Santiago could be
opened without great difficulty.
He is prepared, if neccessary. after
this task has been accomplished ,
to proceed in his craft underneath
the water into the harbor and at
tempt to blow up one or nice of
Cevera’s battleships. If the navy
department has not another plan
for the disposal of Cevera Mr.
Holland's scheme may be consid
ered. ♦
in the Spanish legation here,but
there is reason to believe that if
Mr. Du Bose and the Spanish
consul at Montreal do not strict
ly abide by the asylum they will
be called to account and made
to discontinue their operations.

Honolulu, May 20.—Via San
Francisco, May 28. —Ths Hawai
ian Star published the following]
yesterday :
There is not doubt whatever
that the Hawaiian government
has made a distinct tender of the
islands to the ex cutiva of the
United States. The news has
been published in many of the
coast ane eastern papers and has
been denied.
The Star is in a position to state
that su:h a letter has been written
and that a reply to it is being
awaited here. This reply will
probably reach Honolulu by the
next mail. It is impossible to get
the exact text of the letter and
the island executive does not feel
that it is diplomatic courtesy that
the letter should be given to the
public here before the United
States government can renly. The
mere fact that the transports are
coming here and the island being
used as a basis for supplies for ti e
Manila squadron makes a large
number ot people think the offer
will undoubtedly be accepted.
ENTHUSIASM Ah' HONOLULU.

preparations to receive the tram

SOME TALK
Os Grave Complications Over
The Matter.
Grave foreign complications
may grow’ out of the action of
the Hawaiian government in al
lowing the United States to
make Honolulu a base of sup
plies and naval operations in the
Pacific. Your correspondent is
informed on the highest authori
ty that two European govern
ments —France and Germany
through then consular represen
tatives in Honolulu, have taken
action which is construed to in
dicate their displeasure at the
course of Hawaii.
They have not entered am
formal protest, but have inquired
of the Hawaiian government who'
its attitude would be during
war. What reply, if any, the Ha
waiian governmen* mad« to tho
inquiry is rot known in Washing
ton. It is known, however, th t
the government the of Island * 11
not maintain neutrality, but v ill
allow the United States to use ts
territory and the harbour at Hoi -
ololu as freely as if they were a
part of th*» States.
