NEW YORK, May 27-The Herald's Washington correspondent telegraphs: Active preparations for the occupation of both Cuba and Porto Rico are still progressing, although Secretary Alger does not yet feel fully convinced that the Navy Department has definitely To- cated the position of the Spanish fleet. It is the intention of the War Depart ment to move troops from Key West to Cuba as soon as Commodore Schley reports to the Government that he has the Spanish fleet safe In the harbor of Santiago de Cuba.
 Secretary Alger assured me this morning that the report that the first army movement would be made upon Porto Rico was without foundation. He admitted that much pressure has been brought to bear upon the President to first send an army of occupation to Porto Rico before making any move on Cuba. but he further intimated that such a plan was contrary to the policy of the administration. The advocates of the Porto Rico scheme advance the argument that owing to the vast amount of ammunition that has been lately sent to the Philippine Islands, a large army of invasion would not be fully supplied if sent immediately to Cuba The only foundation for this is that some of the volunteers at Chlcka- mauga are insuffciently provided with ammunition at the present time. The troops at Tampa and other southern points, however, are reasonably well supplied, and the Ordnance Department promises to provide for the Ch1cka- mauga troops by the time they can reach Tampa

 Fleet.
FIRST ALL THE MINES WOULD
 BE DESTROYED.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

NEW YORK, May 27-The Press says: J. J. Holland, builder of the Hol- land submarine boat, has gone to Washington with Colonel c. E. Crecy for the purpose of making an offer to the Government which, if accepted, per- haps will solve the problem of how to destroy Cervera's fleet. MT. Holland will submit his proposition to the Sec retary of the Navy at once. He is willing to undertake to sail his sub marine boat into the channel of the narrow entrance to Santiago harbor, destroy the mines planted there and, if necessary, proceed into the harbor and deal few blows at Cervera's s vessels.
 MT. Holland declares 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 Secretary of the Navy thinks favorably of his proposal, to obtain a crew of volunteers for the enterprise All that he will ask of the authorities is transportation for his vessel and men to Cuba. Once there, he agrees to do the rest.
 Mir Holland proposes to take his boat to Santiago, fitting her out and getting everything in readiness under the pro- lection of Commodore Schley's squad ron. Then when the opportunity of fers. probably just at dawn, the Hol- land will start on it's mission. Before it comes within sight of the fortifica- tions which frown on both sides of the entrance it will sink beneath the sur face of the water and steal quietly toward the main channel.
 When this is reached it will recon noitre to get the layout of the mine fields, and then, withdrawing to a safe distance, discharge one or more of its submarine torpedoes amonG the mines. This is the regular process known as countermining, which is similarly con- ducted by a vessel above the water. which lays alongside the harbor mines another series, which, when exploded, opens up the whole channel MT. Hol- land believes that by this method the channel into Santiago could be cleared without great difficulty.
 He is prepared, if necessary, after this task Is accomplished, to proceed in his craft underno = the water into the harbor and to attempt to blow up one or more of Cervera's battleships. If the Navy Department has not an- other plan for dispo sing of Cervera' s fleet MT. Hollands scheme may be con- sidered.

cessary to send the army to Cuba in two divisions If it is the intention Of the Government to waste no time III making the forward movement against Cuba, it will be impossible to obtain the troop ships necessary to carry an army of 75,000 men to Cuba.
 At the present time the War Depart ment has thirty-tWo flrSt-clasS ships in readiness to take men from Tampa, New Orleans and Mobile to Key West A preliminary movement of troops to the point of authorization has already begun. It will take not more than tWenty-four hours to make two trips from Key West to the point of landing in Cuba; that is, if the work is carried on without unnecessary delay It may be necessary, however, to first send the army now on the Gulf to Cuba on ac- count of the time needful to move men from Chickamagua to the point of en- barkation and delay the second move ment for two or three days.
 The plan of sending 10000 men to cut off supplies from the fleet of Admiral Cervera is now under serious consider ation. The plan is to land troops eastward of Santiago de Cuba and have them get around behind the city and starve the Spanish into submission.
 Major-General Miles will leave Washington for tour of inspection to- morrow or Saturday. It Is now un- derstood he will not command the Cu- ban army of invasion.
 It was announced to-day that MT. Holland, the inventor of the submarine boat of that name, was expected here tomorrow to discuss with Captain O'Neil. chief of ordnance. the feasibil- ity of using that novel craft In an at tack upon the Spanish squadron at Santiago if the vessels are still there.
