Mr.. HOLLANDS SCHEME
HOW THE INVENTOR WOULD DE-
STROY CERVERA'S FLEET.
willing to Free Santiago HarbOr of
Boat, and Then Attack the Ships.

NEW YORK, May 27-J. J. Holland,
builder of the Holland submarine boat, has
gone to Washington with Col. c. E. Creecy
for the purpose of making an offer to the
government which, if accepted, perhaps will
solve the problem of how to destroy Ger
yera's fleet. Mr. Holland will submit his
proposition to the secretary of the navy at
once. He is willing to undertake to sail his
submarine boat into the channel of the mar
row entrance to Santiago harbor, destroy
the mines planted there and, if necessary,
proceed into the harbor and deal a few
blows at Cervera's vessels. Mr. Holland de-
clares that his plan to do this is entirely
feasible. The boat is in shape and ready
for the work and he will agree. if the sec
rotary of the navy thinks favorably 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 Cuba. Once there, he agrees to do
the rest. Mr. Holland proposes to take his
boat to Santiago. fitting her out and getting
everything in readiness under the protec-
ton of Commodore Schleys squadron.
Then. when the opportune moment arrives
probably just at dawn. the Holland will
start on it's mission. Before it comes within
sight of the fortitications which frown on
both sides or the entrance IL VIII Silk De,
meath the surface of the water and steal
quietly towards the main channel. When
this is reached it will reconnoiter to get
the layout of the mine fields. and then,
withdrawing to a safe distance, discharge
one or more of it's submarine torpedoes
among the mines. This is the regular pro-
cess known as counterminng, which is sim
ilarly conducted. but by vessel above the
water Mr.. Holland believes that by this
method the channel into Santiago could be
opened without great difficulty. He is pre-
pared. if necessary. after this task has
been accomplished to proceed in his craft
underneath the water into the harbor and
attempt TO blow UP one or more of Ger
vera's battle ships. If the Navy Department
has not another plan for disposing of Ger
vera Mr.. Holland scheme may be consid-
