Success.
BRITISH NAVAL ATTACHE
Will Recommend Its Adoption by His

Mystery Cleared Up.

New York, Nov. 22-Captain Charles
OF her majesty's embassy. came from
Washington today for the purpose Of IN
speeding the Holland boat in behalf of
his government. He was taken to the
boat, which is moored in the Atlantic
Yacht club basin in Brooklyn, by John 2.
Holland, who explained the workings OF
the vessel to the captain. For more than
two hours Captain Ottley looked over the
boat. He seemed very much impressed
With what he saw and when asked his
opinion said:
"It is my intention to recommend to
the board of admiralty of the British
government that they Immediately con-
slider the merits of the Holland with a
view to adopting vessels OF her type into
the British navy. She is to my mind he
most formidable type of submarine boat
and has demonstrated that she is tine
only successful one. The vessel could
not only be used in keeping the harbors
and coast free from invading fleets, but
with vessels of the Holland type there
would be no fear of submarine mines or
other distractions to navigation, as she
could destroy them rapidly. 1t is my
opinion that there is no question that the
submarine boat has come to stay and that
such boats must be recognized and recN-
oned on in future ava warfare"
The final arrangements for the depar-
ture of the Holland for Washington have
been completed. The vessel will cave her
present mornings on Saturday and go to
I,|izabethport where the pontoons which
are to take her through the canal are to
DE fitted. 1t is expected that the boat
will arrive at Washington shortly after,

Great Northern train was delayed near

the delayed train was some important
mail. A special train was made up Of
an engine, mail car and caboose. the mail
was transferred and the train started
east. L~eavenWorth is several hundred
miles west Of Spokane. In the meantime.
finding that the east-bound train would
not reach Spokane, another train had
started on toward St. Paul to fill the va
cancy. So it became a stern chase. The
special east from Spokane. 2O5 miles, was
made in four hours and thirty minutes.
The best time was made between Wilson
and Spokane, 1O5 miles, in one hour and
thirty minutes. The pursuer came up
with the pursued at Blackfoot, Mont,
having made up seven hours of delay.
1t was the fastest long distance run made
by a western road, the distance being 557
miles.
Washington, Nov. 22.-The latest mail
advices from Manila indicate the exist
ence of serious trouble among the Suiu
Islanders, growing out of the killing by
some followers of the sultan of nine of
the adherents of Dato Jakinine. the most
powerful and influential sub-chief of the

and We're killed by the s%ultan's soldiers,
