Submarine Warefare.
Iohleago Dispatch. l

IChicago Dispatch,l
 If the Holland submarine boat can do all that has been claimed for it the government is aiscouragingly slow in securing it.
 During the war between the states American ingenuity invented the ironcIad, which revolutionized the navies of the world. On the eve of the war with Spain another inven- tion is brought forward which may work a second revolution in naval architecture as great as that of the late war.
 It is alleged that France is eager to secure the Holland, and that the naval experts who have examined the boat for the United States are inclined to discourage the idea of it's purchase.
 Officers of the navy will not take kindly to the notion of fighting un- der the sea with boats of the Hol- land type. There is little of the pomp of war connected with such a vessel. There is absolutely no grandeur about fighting on the Hol- land. Instead of 400 men, a crew of four composes the entire command, and yet, in the presence of this in- significant little craft, if it can do what those who have tested it aver, the stanchest and stateliest battle ship is powerless and doomed to de- struction.
 Of course, the success of the Hol- laad would not make cruisers use- less, for the Holland is not sea-go- ing craft, but great battleships would be displaced, for whenever a Holland appeared the fate of the man. of-war would be sealed.
 Armor plate men will do all they can to discredit the Holland Naval may be inclined to discour- age the government from purchas- ing the boat, but in spite of such the Holland should be tested by the United States, and it's inventor should not be permitted to sell his boat to France, as dispatch es from New York intimate he may do.

AN OUTRAGE.
Mir. George vining Severely Cut While Trying to Stop Ruff fans Swearing Be-
 fore Ladies.

An incident enacted on Sixth ave- nue yesterday Tuesday, afternoon showed a woeful lack of decency on the part of some local toughs. The incident also resulted in the wound ing of Mir. George Yiring.
 Two toughs were passing down Sixth avenue using exceedingly pro- fane language. They stopped in front of Mir. J. H Eddins residence where a party of ladies and gentle men were sitting on the porch. The profanity continued and Mr. Vining, a member of the party on the porch, went and requested it stepped. The profanity was then directed towards him. It was promptly resented ann the three mixed in a free fist fight. One of them drew a knife and cut Mr. Vining three times in the back, making long and painful wounds.
 The fracas was stopped by out side parties, Mr. Vining's wounds are not dangerous, but the damage to the new suit he wore was proba- ply irreparable.

Inadequate Mail Service Makes Them
SICK From Suspense.
Santiago de cuba, Sept. l7.-Contrary
20 reports that seem 20 have been cir
culated I'm the United states, represent
Ing that the American soldiers we're
dying Of starvation at Santiago, the
troops here have ample supplies Of
every kind except that In some in
stances the fresh meat supply has been
unsatisfactory.
The fact Is that the meat sent here
in refrigerator ships, owing to the delay
In unloading, becomes more or less
tainted before II is used II Is esti-
mated that at least 40 per cent Is quite
useless. Less than half the meat is
sued TO Colonel Hoods regiment has
been fit TO eat, and naturally there has
been some complaint. Near Santiago
are great fields of pasturage and the
United States government would do
well 20 send lives beeves here instead
of contract meat. The cost would be
less and the satisfaction greater.
Aside from the sickness that Is incl
dental to the acclmatlzauon, the
trouble among our soldiers is chiefly
mental, rather than physical, and a
better mail service would do much to
remedy IT, Scarcely any mail has
reached here. The men, more or less
enervated by the climate and deprived
of communication with their homes
and sick from suspense.

nine SAILORS DROWNED
Fishing Schooner Run Down by a
Big Ocean Steamer.
MET DEATH IN THEIR BUNKs.

The Men Were Asleep when Their
Vessel Was Cut Down to the Waters
Edge and sunk Before They Had an
Opportunity to Escape.
Boston, Sept 1.-THE steamship
Gloucester of the Merchants and
Miners Transportation company, which
arrived here yesterday from Baltimore,
reports that at 1:4O o'clock in the morn
ing she met in collision with the
Gloucester schooner Alice Jordan off
Martha's Vineyard, and that nine of
the Jordan's crew were drowned. Seven
of the crew were saved and brought
here on the Gloucester.
The schooner was cut down to the
waters edge, and rapidly filled. The
Gloucester was stopped at once and
boats ordered lowered. The schooner
sunk in a very few minutes, and be-
fore nine of the crew, who were asleep
below, could reach the deck. Six of
the Jordan's men were taken from the
water by the Gloucester's men. The
commander of the fishermen, Captain
jeremiah II. Warren, was also rescued.
The boats of the Gloucester searched
for long time for traces of the nine
missing men, but without seccess.
The seven survivors left for their
homes in Gloucester last evening. Be
fore leaving Captain Warren, Of the
wrecked vessel, gave the following
story of the disaster:
The Alice c. Jordan, with a crew
of Is men, left Gloucester last Monday
bound for Block Island on a fishing
trip. At 1.4O this morning the schooner
was off East Chop, in Vineyard Sound,
through the water at a six knot clip,
and the approach of the steamer was
noticed by the lookout fully 20 min
utes before she crashed into us The
| schooner kept to her course, believing
! that the steamer would pass her in
safety, but as she came nearer 1t wa5
seen that a collision was inevitable,
and the three men on the schooner S
deck shouted to those below to hurry
on deck.
The Gloucester struck the schooner
with fearful force, nearly in the center
of the port bow, and cut into her fully
a third Of the breadth She began to
| fill Immediately. Captain Warren, Jo-
seph Pitts and jeremiah Ryan were on
| the deck when the vessels came to-
gether Ryan was killed by a falling
spar from the steamer.
The other five men saved were asleep
in the after part of the vessel, but with
the exception of one man, II. c. Carey
every man in the forecastle went dowr
with the schooner. Carey states tha
three of the men in the forecastle were
| killed in the hunks when the steamer
cut into the side of their vessel. TIL,
other five men made frantic efforts t
escape, but could not reach the decl
before the vessel filled and plunged t.
the bottom.
Captain Warren, although he blame
the steamer for the collision, said h
was grateful to Captain Howes, tn
officers, crew and passengers for tn
kind treatment of himself and his men
