HOW TO DESTROY THE FLEET.
Holland Wants to Take His Sub
marine Boat to Santiago.

J.J. Holland, builder OF the Holland
submarine boat, has gone to Washing
ton with Colonel C.. f. Grey for the
purpose of making All offer to the
government, which, if accepted, per-
haps will solve the problem of how to
destroy Cerveras fleet.
Mr.. Holland will submit his PROPOSE
ton to the Secretary OF the navy at
once He is willing to undertake to
sail his submarine 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
to Cervera's vessels.
Mr.. Holland declared that his plans
are 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 crew OF volunteers for the
work.
All he will ask of the authorities 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 protection of Commodore
Schley's squadron.
Then, when the opportunity offers,
probably just at dawn, the Holland
will start on its mission. Before it
comes within sight of the fOrtifiatiOns
which frown on both sides of the en-
trance it will sink beneath the surface
OF the water and steal quietly toward
the main channel.
When this is reached it will recon-
noitre to get the layout of the mines,
and then withdrawing q safe distance,
discharge one or more Of its submarine
torpedoes among the mines. This is
the regular process known as counter
mining, which is similarly conducted
by vessel above the water which lays
alongside tie harbor mines another
series which when exploded open up
the channel. Mr.. Holland believes
that by this method the channel into
Santiago could be opened without
great difficulty.
He is prepared, if necessary, after
this work is accomplished, to proceed
in his craft underneath the water into
the harbor and attempt to blow up
one or more of Cervera's battleships.
If the navy department has not an
other plan for disposing of Cervera's
fleet, Mr.. Hollands scheme may be
con siderpd-

Old And the New Opportunity
New York World.

New York World.
When this war broke out we had
every opportunity to end it quickly.
If Dewey's splendid performance
had been followed up by the destruc-
ton of Havana forts, by the conquest
of Porto Rico, by the capture of
Matanzas or by any other operation
of the kind, there would have been an
immediate end to the war.
Spain was already on the brink of a
revolution. 1t needed only one or
two more decisive victories to end the
war as Napoleon's wars were ended.
But our Washington boards of
strategy are not Napoleonic. They
have pottered and paltered and wasted
time till the great opportunity is lost.
They have unwillingly played into
the hands of the Spanish. Instead of
sending our great naval engines of
destruction to repeat Dewey's per-
Torrance, they have kept them dodg-
ing about all the seas in search of an
elusive fleet whose sole purpose was to
avoid battle and to restrain our ships
from everything like decisive action
by ingenious manoeuvring.
The result is that we now have a
prolonged war on our hands, when We
might have made an end of the affair
in thirty days. We have given Blanco
time to stretch telegraph wires all
around Cuba, and we have thus
multiplied his power to concentrate
troops and resist our landing.
We shall ado the job" of course.
But the cost of its doing, both in
money and in brave mems lives, will
be very greatly increased because of
Sunday-school strategy and debating
society direction Of military operations.
Why not even now make an end of
the pottering? Why not turn samp-
son and Schley and the military peo-
pie loose and let them do the work :?
Napoleon said that Zone bad general
is better than two good ones" Surely
one general under orders to capture
Cuba would do more than any board OF
strategy bent upon making the most
peaceful and bloodless war possible.
"YOu cannot make an omelet with.
out breaking eggs" said Bismarck.
And the more promptly We proceed to
break eggs the fewer eggs shall we have
to break.

BREAD CRUMBS.

If you have a warming.oven to
your stove or range, keep a small drip
ping-pan in it, into which drop all
waste bread and crusts. Once or
twice a week roll the dried pieces as
fine as possible, then sift them
through sieve to make them of uni
form size. Yes, they are better for all
threaded" dishes than cracker
crumbs, excepting fried or scalloped
oysters. Soft crumbs are used for
covering many baked dishes. Pre-
pare by crumbing the soft part of the
bread between your hands, using no
crust, and moisten with butter, melted.
When Drowned, cover the dish with a
pie-pan, that the crumbs. made hard
by baking, may soften.

Mr.. WACHsMUTH, of Oysterville, who
has been experimenting with Eastern
oysters in Willapa bay, has met with
encouraging success. A year ago he
planted five barrels Of Eastern oysters
in the bay. Last month he took to
San Francisco two sacks of the
matured bivalves, which met with
much favor, it being declared that they
were so superior in size and flavor to the
Eastern oysters grown in San Francisco
bay, that he has decided to engage in
the business on a more extensive scale.
A few days ago he received half car.
load of young Eastern oysters, and
they will be planted in the bay. Mr..
Wachsmuth and his son own 200
acres of oyster beds near Oysterville,
so the plants will have ample room.
As it is late in the season to plant
oysters, Mr.. Wachsmuth's experiment
may fail. He will plant more next
fall if those planted this year fail to
live.

Hawaii's achievements and
steady progress in the matter of
public education is known and
read of all men interested in the
general advancement of peoples
and nations. 1t will not do to
have the country's good fame in
this regard diminished for lack of
the "sinews of war" The educe
tionsl establishment must receive
the most liberal treatment in rea
son from the coming Legislature.
1t is one of the cardinal points in
the platform of the party that
practically monopolizAd the recent
elections for Representatives.
Therefore, upon the general
proposition, there is no room for
argument. Discussion is limited
simply to the degree of liberality.
The amount that the Commission.
ers deem necessary for badly
needed new buildings-ope hun
dred thousand dollars-they cas-
lily demonstrate is none too much.
Let us have buildings that will be
enduring monuments to the edu
cational enterprise of the Repub-
lie, not makeshift sheds that be
fore many years will eat up the
interest of an immense capitalize
ton for repairs.

Monthly Meeting Of Supervisors aud the
Proceedings Thereat.

Proceedings Thereat.
There was large attendance OF
the ladies' forming the Board of
Supervisors of the Free Kinder.
gartens Association in monthly
session at Queen Emma hall this
morning. Reports from the va
rious kindergartens showed that
matters are going on we'll. Recent
rains had kept away many chill
dren, but also proved the need Of
the sanitary work conducted by
Mrs. Hugh Thompson.
Miss Lawrence spoke in high
praise of this sanitary work and
the moral influence it was having
on the children. They are trying
more to keep themselves in a state
of cleanliness. The moDthly sum
OF Sl5 vas voted for expenses of
the work. Donations to the work,
of medicines and other material,
were gratefully acknowle lged as
received from Benson, Smith g.
Co. and the Board of Health.
Mrs. Thompson intends paying
visits to more Of the mothers
meetings. One of the Por-
tuguese she attended proved
SO interesting that the mothers
dispersed, when the time came,
with evident reluctance. 1t was
the sense of the meeting that this
work was of the highest impor-
lance, and the ladies evinced great
appreciation of the sacrifices be-
ing made by Mrs. Thompson.
Palama school was still grow
ing, much to the ladies' delight.
Reports of the success of the
Christmas gatherings, at which
the children gave presents to their
parents, were received with much
satisfaction. Many parents had
attended the festivities. The Por-
tuguese celebration was especially
remarked as showing the good in
huence Of a beautiful building
on the children. Their behavior
was especially exemplary.
Mrs. Jones spoke of the good
results of mixed kindergarters--
the beneficial reaction of different
na'ionalities on each other.
"rhe kindergarten Calendar"
was produced, and respecting it
votes of thanks were passed--to
Frank l.. Hoogs, for furnishing
cut of the Child Garden building;
to Frank Davey, for Photographic
negatives, and to the Hawaiian

garten - the only one yet lacking
them-made an anxious topic, but

supply them. There is S21 more
wanted and Mrs. Harriet Castle

sums however small gratefully
accepted--toward the amount.

This HorRing.
A vicious monkey has been on
the rampage in the Arlington
hotel grounds for the past two
days. Yesterday he attacked a
small native boy and this morniug
little girl was severely bitten b,
the brute. A police officer was
summoned and it wss decided that
the marauding simian should BE-
shot.
The shooting and fun began
Simultaneously. At the first shot
the monkey went over the
fence and across the street with
part of the police force armed 20
the teeth, many small boys, two
or three men and a yellow dog hot
on his trail. He made Levers &
Cookies lumber yard his hiding
place. After search he was dis
covered ensconced on a pile of
wood. The police lined up and
execut' d a flank movement on
him, the crowd of small boys
being held in reserve.
The monkey escaped, however,
and then the chagrin of the off
GERS was plain to he seen. After
an hours chase the officers gave
up the job and it is probable the
detectives will be put on the CA, e
and an attempt made to capture
the beast before it does any Cur
Their damage.

beast with a psrlor rife bullet
