Then, when the opportunity offers, prob
ably Just at dawn, the Holland will start
on its mission. Before It comes within
sight Of the Notifications which frown
or both sides of the entrance it will sink
beneath the surface of the water and
steal quietly toward the main channel.
When this is reached it will reconnoit-
er to get the lay of the mine:felds and
then, withdrawing to a safe distance,
discharge one or more of its submarine
torpedoes among the mines.
This is the regular process known as
couater- mining, which is similarly con-
Quoted by vessel above the water,
which lays alongside the harbor mines
another series, which, when exploded,
opens up the whole 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 task
has been accomplished, to proceed in his
craft underneath the water into the har-
Dor and attempt to blow up one or more
of Cervera's battleships. If the navy
department. has not another plan for dis
posing of Cervera, Mr.. Hollands scheme
may be considered.
Gen. Gomez, commander chief of
the Cuban army, has issued another adj
dress in which he says:
81 take this occasion to remind each
Cuban in service that he now has coun-
try recognized, for which he must fight
with all honor and glory. He is now a
Cuban soldier and not an insurgent, and
will respect the rules of civilized war
fare. will order punished any chief,
officer or private who fails to respect the
rights of our prisoners of war, and such
prisoners will be treated With respect to
their ranks and according to the rules
Of civilized countries and the constitu-
tional army. Our soldiers will conduct
themselves in such manner as to gain for
themselves the good Offices Of our breth-
rem of the United States, and for this rea-
son it is my wish that the army of Cuba
may exhibit model discipline.
II desire to impress upon you that we
will not continue this war, which has
been so gallantly kept up FOR the last
three years, with the idea If revenge.
We are fighting for liberty and indie
pendence and not for revenge, and I
would call your attention to the fact
that the history of the world shows that
loss of blood has always been the price
of liberty. Notwithstanding, we must
ever remember our dead martyrs to the
cause of Cuban freedom and fight the
good fight, and it will not be long be-
fore every Spanish soldier will have left
our soil. We have had to contend against
most cruel enemy ,one which has known
no honor, and its methods,~of warfare
have been most barbarous. Every act
of Spain has shown it's thirst for blood
and desire to trample down and annihi-
late the people of Cuba. do not de-
sire that our army shall emulate its ex-
ample, but I would prefer that our
methods of war be those of civilized ma
tons; that we may show to the enemy
that those whom they are fighting are
more honorable than themselves.
