TJIR BIG OREGON Remarkable Voyage of a Splendid Ship. TRAVELLED 13,000 MILES Has Averaged 200 M ies Per Day For 60 Days. New York, May 26. — 4 spe cial dispatch to the Evening World from Jupiter, Fla., says that Lieut, a. R. Davis of the battleship Oregon came ashore there late last night. “Our race,” said Lieut. Davis, “was a most exciting one and especially after we left Bahia for we then knew of the possibility of interception. Capt. Clarke, however, kept the little licet in constant readiness, ami had we run into the Spanish armored fleet we would have been heard from. As it is, we are all happy that our race from San Francisco is now ended and that we will have a chance to t ike part with the fleets now looking for the Spaniards.” The Marietta and Buffa’o are with the Oregon. • the Oregon’s trip. Washington, May 26.—The navy department today confirm ed the report of the arrival of the Oregon at Jupiter Inlet, Fla., last night. While declining to give any de tails of the trip at this time, th' officiate admit that ihe ship swung clear to the Eastward of both the Lesser and Greater Antilles and after leaving Barbadoes until sh* arrived at a point opposite the Bahamas when she turned sharp ly in and made for the Florida coast. Th ■ Oregon left Mare Island, California 13,000 miles from Jupi ter on March 19. so she has avera ged 200 miles a day for sixty days As a matter of fact the vessel has made much better speed, for a 2Oo"d many days were lost in taking Coal at South American ports, and again by her long detour in reach ing Florida after having left Bahia, Brazil. The Pacific coast contingent in Washington cannot restrain the r enthusiasm over the remarkable performance of .this creation of the slope work-shops' Representa tive Hillborn called at the navy department to verify the news ol the ship’s arrival and he found the officials were fully disposed to agree with him in all that he had tj say as to the Oregon’s great record. Ik- said that by this per formance the ship has silenced for ever the congressional critics of battleships who had declared that, no battleship ever had or wculd cross tho Atlantic, for the Ore gon's run was fraught witji more peril and involved s’raight away stretches of greater length than the Atlantic passage in any season. THE LOCATING OF THE OREGON. came about in a peculiar way, by means of the beach watchers who are on the alert for the approach of hostile ehips. These pa trols continue night and day and patrol was rewarded by sighting the big American Battleship. Signalin g was begun by the use o f torches and m that way mes sages to and from the pattieship were exchanged throughout the night. These messages in tuin were sent, to the navy department which is connected with direct, telegram line with the signal sta t oti near Jupit< r Inlet, SUMMER SCHOOL.

Washington. May 26 —Naval offi cials have calculated to their entire satisfaction the possibility of ge - ting the Monterey safely across the Pacific to Admiral Dewey’s squad ron at Manila. The principal diffi culty in making «uch a trip as this is the small coal capacity of vessels of the Monterev. type. She carries norma'ly 200 tons of coal in her bunkers, which at her most econo nricai rate of steaming would take her about 300 mites less than the distance fi\ m San Francisco to Honolulu. In an emergency such as now exists, it is possible to store a good deal of coal on the main Heck. The ship will take a southerly course after leaving Honolulu, in company with a steam collier. The South Seas are full of islands as soon as Hawii has been left 1,000 miles behind, and in the sheltered harbors of these, siwuld be easy for the Monterey to lie alongside the collier and coal through bei superstructure. It would not I e surprising if one of the harbois chosen for such a transfer was in the Caroline Islands, another Spanish possession in the South Seas, for by so doing there could be no possible complaint' of a breach of neutrality laws on the part of any neutral nation. From the Carolines to the Philippines the way is easy, and Under the programme arranged there is no probability of failuie in the attempt to get the Monterey safelv across the Pacific. If the Monterey proceeded steadily at her economical speed she should roach the Phi ippines in thirty-ore and a half days from San Francisco. I She will lose several days in coal ling eu route, but on the otner hand she may make up this difference ‘ X latniiu it greater speed if circurr- 1 1- 'uiice 11v r the easy’ r< coaling ' I • the sb ip ( "" SAMPSON AND SCHLEY, The Gid Sea Docs Have The Spanish at Bay.
