Gere ea ras ro LAT D CVO 'MIDSHIP SEOTION, STEAMERS PARAGUAY AND ASUNOION, BUILT ON THE GREAT LAKES FOR ATLANTIO COASTING TRADE TORPEDO BOATS WERE NOT SUCCESSFUL. The war at Newport is at an end. It was at first supposed that the work of the torpedo boats was most successful and that the Holland had sent the big battleship Kearsarge to the bottom of the sea. The board of arbitrament gave out the decision, however, that the big ships were not torpedoed and that the Holland played no part in the proceedings. They say that the only vessels that suffered from the attacks of the torpedo boats were the gunboats Scorpion and Eagle and that they were torpe- doed by betraying their position in attacking the tug Leyden, which was sent out as a decoy for that purpose. It was allowed that the torpedo boat Stilletto had torpedoed the Kearsarge. The Stilletto was under fire for one minute, while it requires two minutes to put her out of action. The board says that the Leyden, sent out as a decoy, was almost imme- diately picked up by the Scorpion and Eagle and put out of action, but that in doing this they betrayed their position and both were soon tor- pedoed by the little torpedo boat Gwynn. There was no dispute about this and the two gunboats immediately left for Newport. The battleship Indiana was attacked by the torpedo boat Dahlgren, but the board has decided that it was unsuccessful and that the Dahlgren was put out by the Indiana. Owing to a mistake of the umpire on the Dahlgren, not being aware that his boat was no longer in the fight, she attacked the Kear- sarge, and while from an attacking point of view it was a success the board did not allow it, as the Dahlgren was already out of it. The bat- tleship Kearsarge was also attacked by the torpedo boats Gywnn, Morris and Porter, but they were all declared to have been put out of action and the attack declared a failure. The Texas was the only vessel that was not found by a torpedo boat and escaped without injury. It was said, how- ever, by those on board the Texas that she had seen a torpedo boat and boat. that after firing a green star, she put to sea with great speed to get out of the way, and did not again come in until the fight was all over. part played by the Holland was very small, and although much praise is bestowed upon her commanding officer and crew there is no praise for the It is admitted by a member of the board that her test was not fair, and that the conditions were greatly against her, but it could not have _been arranged otherwise. Holland is as follows: "When the Kearsarge was adjudged out of it by the attack of the Dahlgren she turned on her running lights and started for the harbor, considering herself out of the game. While doing this she was attacked by the Holland about five miles outside the Brenton reef light-ship. The board disallowed this, as the Kearsarge was showing her lights, and was not looking out for any more torpedo boats." The handling of the Holland and the nerve of her commanding officer, Lieut. H. H. Caldwell, who was with Admiral Dewey at Manila, excited great admiration, not only of the members of the board but of all the officers of the fleet, as she was in constant danger of being run over in the darkness by one of the torpedo boats. is that her crew was most able. or any opinion as to her worth to a fleet of torpedo boats in such an attack. The question was much discussed as to whether the blockading squadron should lie without lights, or knowing of an attack by torpedo boats, should have kept searchlights going. Much is to be said on both sides of this question. There is no doubt but there will be a modification of the rules of procedure from the experience gained in this attack and before the next operation of the kind.
