Simpsons and Schey's squadrons during the past
week are very mystifyng, even to the naval officers,
and one of them called attention to a statement
coming from the West Indies to the effect that twelve
war vessels were seen for short time off Cienfuegos
on Wednesday. This, he thought was Schey's squad
ro and in that case he could scarcely have covered
the distance between Cienfuegos and Santiago with
slow moving fleet of ironclads in less than two days.
in which case Schley would not be due off Santiago
until some time today. Of course all this is specula-
tive, but it shows that there is still an element of doubt
in the departments calculations to the whereabouts
of the fleets.
The Holland Boat
1t was announced today that Holland, the inventor
of the submarine boat of that name was expected here
tomorrow to discuss with Captain O'Neill, chief of
ordnance, the feasibility of using the novel craft in an
attack upon the Spanish squadron at Santiago if the
vessels still there The officials are disposed to
receive in kindly spirit any suggestion that might
prove to be valuable in this line and they will talk
with Mr.. Holland over the details of the scheme.
