the road near Cyrus Sieber's, Mrs.
Isaac Row had driven past in a
one horse wagon and tied her beast
to post at the turn in the road a
quarter of "A mile ahead. Mr..
Row, Isaac'S father, was holding
the grays when they scared,
knocked him down and ran the
wagon over him. Away they
went like the wind, when they
came to where Mrs. Isaac Rows
wagon had stopped they could not
make the turn in the road but ran
into it, the tongue of their wagon
striking the hind end of her wagon.
The contact broke the tongue into
pieces and threw the team with
their feet toward each other and
so paralyzed them that they were
captured there. Mrs. Rows horse
and wagon was knocked against
the hitching post and that brot c

Inventor Holland, Of submarine boat
fame. has not come to Washington. as
announced, to confer with the Navy Off
GERS regarding his plan of entering Santi-
ago harbor and annihilating the Spanish
feet from below waves. While in theory
his plan is very plausible one. the au-
thorities do not think it is practicable.
"In the first place, the Holland boat
is not made to take long journeys" said
Chief of Ordnance O'Nein. How does
Mr.. Holland propose to get his boat down
pedo into his craft the boat has to be
lifted partly out of the water by der
ricks. as there Is no means OF loading
them in while she is afioat or submerged.
After he exploded the two torpedoes the
boat will carry what would he do then?
Go back to Key West hoist her out Of
the water and load her again, l suppose"
las a matter of fact the Holland boat
is yet very much Of an experiment,
but the Government is willing to give il
a fair trial. The sum Of Sl50.O00 has al
ready been appropriated to build the
''Plunger' after Mr.. Hollands ideas. and
when il is done IL will be given a good
trial The experiments Mr.. Holland has
made with his individual boat have not
been entirely successful. No one but
Holland and his own employees have ever
gone down with her, and when she was
under the surface. who could tell what
she was doing? She might have been roll
ing around helplessly on the bottom, for
aught we know.
'I don't think the fleet now supposed
to be in the harbor of Santiago de Cuba
will be blown up by the Holland boat
Just at present.

Two Military Balloons 10 Be Sent
Sent Up Near Santiago.
THEY MAY DROP DYNAMITE
Antony Varicle, distinguished
AeroBEut, Volunteers to Serve the
American Gov yernment-A Plant
for Generating Gas Has Been
Shipped to Tampa.

New York. May 2S.-The Government
may be about to put into operation plan
for locating Admiral Cervera and his fleet
day or night. and it is said they will be
sent up from the decks of the battleships
or transports in front of Santiago.
Some time ago Antony Varicle arrived
in New York. with the reputation of being
one of the three greatest aeronauts in
Europe. He brought with him a balloon
called the Fran, which is now in Seattle.
Shortly after the war broke out friend
suggested that he talk war balloons with
the authorities in Washington Varlcle
jumped al the idea and Immediately went
10 " ashington To see Brigadier General
GreeIy, chief of the Signal Service. The
result of this conference was an order for
two small balloons 70 be delivered in New
York as soon as possible. In ten days the
balloons were ready for shipment, but
fearing that they would be seized by the
French custom authorities as contraband
of war, one of Varicle's experts. Mallet
packed them in four large valises and
took them to Liverpool The first steam
er for New York was the TeutOnic and
on it were Mallet and his balloons They
reached here today
The balloons were sent to Governor s
Island. Tomorrow the aer0nauts will go
10 the island and viii put the different
parts of theyballoons together and get
them ready for shipment TO Tampa on
Monday or Tuesday. Mallet and Varicle
have written General Greely volunteer
Ing to serve in the United States Army.
Both men viii go to Tampa with the bal
looms. On their arrival at Tampa, the
balloons will be placed on two transports
or warships bound for Santiago. A plant
for generating gas was sent to Tampa,
along with two large war balloons, sew
eral weeks ago.
The balloons already at Tampa are
available for land ascension, but are too
large to be sent up from ships. but the
initiating apparatus viii be just what is
required for the small balloons OF Mr..
Varicle. Each will be provided with sig
nal flags. telephone and searchlight,
so that observations may be made by
night. They will also carry a quantity OF
shells. which may be dropped overheard
wherever a suitable target presents #
self. The danger to the balloons from
perforation by the enemy's bullets win bs
slight. Big guns on land or on ships can
not be elevated 10 bring the airships
within range.
