Hol- ni, builder of the Holland subma- rine boat, has gone to Washington with Col. CE. Creecy for the purpose of making an offer to the whieh, if accepted, solve the problem of how to destroy Cervera’s fleet. Mr, Holland will Submit his proposition 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 har- bor, destroy the mines planted there, and, if necessary, proceed into the harbor id deal a few blows at Cer- vera’s vessels. Mr. Holland declares that his plan to do this is entirely teasible. Tbe boat is in shape and ready for the work, and he will agree, if the secretary of the navy thinks favorably of bis proposal, to obtain a crew of volunteers for the work, All that he will ask for is trans- portation for bis vessel and men to Cuba, — Once there, he agrees to do the rest. Me. Holland proposes to government perhaps will ‘take bis boat to Santiago, fitting and readiness un of Commo- Theo, when arrives, the » Be- it comes withia sight of the for- ‘ations Which frowa on both sides of the entrance, it will sink beneath the surface of the water and steal quietly toward the main chann When this is reached it will reeon- noitre to get the layout of the mine fields, and then Withdrawing to a safe distance discharge one or more of her submarine torpedoes among the mines. ‘his is the regular process known as countermining, which is similarly ucted, but by a vessel above the water, which lays alongside the harbor mines another series which, when exploded, opens up the whole channel.

If the navy department has not anotber plan for disposing of Cervera Mr. Holland's scheme may be con- sidered. BOMBARDMENT OF PORTO RICO. Washington, May 28,—The fol- lowing bulletin was posted at the navy department: The following is a copy of a report made by Rear Admiral Sampson con. cerning the action of San Juan de Porto Rico Upon approaching San Juan it was seen that none of the Spanish vessels were in the harbor. I was, therefore, considerably in doubt whether they had hed San Juan and again de- parted for some unknown destination, As their capture was the object of the expedition, and it was essential they should not pass to the westward, I determined to attack the batteries defending the port, in order to devel- op their positions and strength, and then, without waiting to reduce the city or subject it to a regular bom- bardment, which would require due notice, turn to the westward. 1 commenced the attack as soon as it was good daylight. This lasted about three hours, when the signal s made to discontinue the firing, Wd the squadron stood to the north: west until out of sight of San Juan, with the view of communicating with the department at Port Plata and learn if the department had ob- tained information as to the move- ments of the Spanish vessels.

Washington, May 2.—The work of mustering the volunteers into the service of the United States under the President's first call for troops is practically completed. Adjutant General Corbin {announced late tast night that the number of volunteers so far reported was 118,000 and that enough were prepared to swell the number to between 121,000 and 122,000, It is not expected by the war department officials that quite the full number called for will he mustered into the army, as nearly all of the states are short from 25 to 100 men of the number called for by their quota, Adjutant General Corbin expressed his gratification at the re- sponse with which the call had been met by the United States and is sa\ ' fied that if the call had been for 500,- 000 or even a million men it would have met with the same prompt and generous response. HONORING DEWEY. Washington, May 28.—In the house yesterday the senate resolution authorizing the secretary of the navy to present a sword of honor to Com- modore Dewey and cause to be struck bronze medals commemorating the battle of Manila bay and to dia- tribute them to the officers and men of the Asiatic squadron was passed unanimously without debate.
