SUBMARINE BOATS.
Two Were Built During the Civil
Nnr.

If the Holland submarine boat IS util-
lied in attack upon Havana it Will be the
first war test 20 which one of these sub
marine boats OF the modern type has ever
been subjected.
There is a general idea that submarine
navigation. as applied to boats of the
class of the Holland. is an entirely new
idea. This is not so. One of the first
boats of this class ever built was used
by rhe South during the civil war. Four
times ii was sent under water with the
intention of destroying u United States
warship. Each time ii drowned its crew
and had to be hoisted up with derrick.
But when. however volunteers were call
ed for fifth attempt there was no dearrh
of men willing to go down in the deadly
craft for another tilt against Northern
warships. This fifth attempt was sue
cesSful-aS far as the destruction of the
Federal boat was concerned. The war
ship was sunk, hut the submarine torpedo
boat. with its crew. accompanied il to
the bottom. and stayed there.
In the North. AT the same time. the Gov
ernment was busy experimenting with a
boat built on the same lines. II is now
in the navy yard and will be presently
broken up to make space for the docking
of other vessels. By the naval authori-
Ties al tne BROOKLYN Nard the old SuDma-
r7ne boat is given a death record which
II does not in the least deserve.
1t Is said there that the boat has proved
the tomb of three separate crews which
went down in her. but George l. Warren.
one of the Oldest steam engineers in the
port of New York. says that the navy
yard officials are mistaken in the boat.
Not single life was lost aboard that
boat, said Mr.. Warren the other day. .I
knew the man who built her. and. as a
matter of fact. / had about as much to do
with the handling of that vessel as the in
yentor himself The worst thing that ever
occurred aboard the boat was the spoil
ing of three pairs of duck trousers, which
draped the legs of three naval officers
constituting Government inspection
board delegated to investigate and report
upon the immersion qualities of the tor
pedo boat. l remember that test quite
well. We towed the boat out into Walla-
bout Bay, and the three naval officers
went down in her. Just for the sake of
safety we fixed the tackle of a derrick
on to the submarine boat before she made
the descent. After twenty minutes so
many bubbles of air were rising from the
submerged ship that we hitchcd up the
derrick and drew the boat to the surface.
When We opened the hatch the naval Off
GERS were upto their waists in water and
were scared to death. That's the nearest
approach to an accident that ever oc

Many old soldiers now feel the effects
of the hard service they endured during

Pursuant to previous agreement the

He was wardroom officer OF the Ma

very big, he looked as II he might knock
down a refractory sailor with marlin
spike after a little practice. He didn't
seem to know or care very much about
the deeper relations between Spain and
the United States, nor what the ma
neuvers of the Spaniards were to be.
He only knew that there would be war,
and the sparkle in his eye and the bright
tones of his voice said that he didn't
regret it.
But" he said. I'VE who are in it,

MAIL SERVICE THROUGH
 THE YUKON COUNTRY
Magnitude of the Contract Which a Seattle Man Has Undertaken
 to Garry Out.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 1.-The Post office Department has not re- ceiyed reports on it's newly established mail routes in Alaska, but is not sur prise6 that advices have not come. The contract Is with P. c. Richardson of Seattle, and the service did not begin until July 1. It will be seen, there fore, that a report on the service could scarcely be expected so soon. The con- tract provides for two round trips a month from Juneau over the Chilkoot Pass to Dawson and Circle City, and thence down the Yukon to Weare City, at the junction of the Yukon ana To- mana rivers. From Weare City down the Yukon to St. Michael monthly service only is required. It Is pre- sumed the contractor began the ser vice simultaneously from St. Michael and Juneau, so that monthly mail will be carried from St. Michael up to Weare City. Thence the service up the Yukon to Circle City and Dawson and down to Juneau Is to be bi-month- ly Nothing but letters and light packages are to be handled, the con- tractor agreeing to provide dog trains and reindeer and such other methods of transportation as the exigencies may require for good service. He is also required to establish intermediate sta tions The contract is made for four years and costs annually $78,000.
 It is likely a report on this service is coming by mail, but should the Post office Department find that the mails are not being properly carried tenn porary service will be nut on to ac- commodate the people along these 250O miles.
 Inspector Cum of the fourth assist ants office has recently returned from Alaska, where he arranged for the es- tablishment of seven postal stations along the Yukon. In addition to this service the Postoffice Department has a contract for four trips by steamer during the summer months, from Ju- neau to St. Michael and thence to Weare City. Newspapers and other heavier mail matter are to be carried by steamer.
 An idea of the proportions of this service may be had from the fact that the contract provided for a ton and a half of mali matter on each trip, whereas the first steamer to St. Mi- chael carried three and a quarter tons.
