With Ease Under Water.

NEW YORK, March 21.-The Hol-
land submarine boat made another trip
from Perth Amboy, n. Y, to-day. At
a depth OF fifteen feet under water she
show ID good speed and was handled
with ease. After she came to the sur
face the boat grounded in the soft mud,
and was hauled off by tug. The boats
coming tower will be fitted with cleo
trio lights before another trip is made
The trial Of the Holland in deep wa
ter probably will occur during the lat
ter portion of the week Both the guns
are in need of repairs, as the breeches
now admit air, and there are details
aboard that need attention. When this
has been done the Holland will start
for a long trip in deep water in the
lower bay, and Will probably remain
submerged for two miles Her guns
will Their abe fired for the first time.
Elihu b. Frost, Treasurer of the com
pany, says it is unlikely that any at
tempt will be made to fire at target
at the outset If the Holland can get
close enough to the enemys vessel in
time of war TO do effective work, great
accuracy of craftsmanship will not be
required. 1t is probable that the Hol-
land will be taken to Washington next

surprise was sprung in the Common
Council this evening when a request
was made by the Southern California
Mountain Water Company TO be re
leased from its contract with San Diego.
The company is building the Morena
water system. which is designed TO fur
nish water supply for this city and also
10 irrigate 100 600 acres of land. The
city voted a million and half dollars
in bonds to pay for the water supply.
Owing TO litigation, none of the bonds
have been issued. The company, how
ever, have expended over $6G00O0 on the
work, which is well advanced.
In his letter to the Common Council
President L. S. Babcock of the COM
pany gives several reasons for asking to
be released, the principal being the
present unsatisfactory conditions of
business in this section on account Of
the policy Of the Santa F'e Railroad, the
present railroad combine and accom-
panying Determinations.
The request was referred to the Joint

Are QueIled by the Captain.

er Behring Sea arrived to-day from
Yakutat Bay, Alaska. When she left
there were about 300 people there
waiting to go over the pass into the
interior.
Captain Grotler reports that little
progress has been made at Disenchant-
ment Bay. The bay was frozen over
hard and fast last winter, and when
the Behring Sea left it was just begin
ming to float out on the tide. There
were too many icebergs in the bay to
make navigation safe, and the schoon-
er's passengers disembarked at Yuka-
tat, a small village on the coast.
Trouble of a serious nature was re-
ported on the schooner Morrill, Be
fore the Morrill, arrived at Yakutat ad-
verse winds were encountered, and she
was driven some distance out of her
course. Then the passengers, so it
was stated to Captain Grotler, became
almost mutinous. During the trouble
the Captain of the Morrill,, it is said
quelled a row by a liberal display of
guns in the hands of himself and crew
Finally the schooner was put about
and arrived safely at Yakutat, where
