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.

ROME GEORGIA, SUNDAY MORNING, MAY 29. 1898, HAWAIIAN POLICY 1$ to Lend fill Aid Io United States. THEIR ENTHUSIASM Will Give American Sailors Great Liberty. % 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. The steamer China, which stop-., pe I at Honomiu on her way from the Orient report* that the pe< p'e of that city weie making great preparations to receive the tram port fleet which left this city tor Manila and which will ston at Honolulu er. route. The town war being decorated with flags and bunting and the freedom of the cty will offered to the men on the steamships. The China passed the transports City of Pekin. City of Sydney an< Australia last night and reports the three vessels as ] r >ceedi<ig wester’y at great speed wth al well on board. 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.
