Launching of the Vessel Designed to Revo.
lutiopize Naval Warfare

ELIzABErH, y. j.. May ls.-The Hol.
land submarine torpedo boat was
launched at the Crescent ship-yards in
this city. The inventor of the boat,
John Il. Holland. has CLOSELY
watched the construction OF the
vessel. The vessel was chris.
tened THE Holland by Mrs. Nixon.
wife of Lieut.. Lewis Nixon. the con.
structor. There were few present at
the launching. Inventor Holland saws
there will not be any attempt at sub.
marine evolutions for several weeks,
The construction of the boat has been
eagerly watched all over the country.
Mr.. Holland was asked by the United
States, British and Spanish govern.
ments to allow represen tative on
board during the trial trip of the boat,
but he refused the request. After o
trial trip he says he will allow
an engineer from each govern
mcnt to see the workings
of the boat which it is believed will
rcvolutionize warfare. Several foreipn
nations have bid for the vessel, but il
us likely that Mr.. Holland will sell her
