OREGON, AT SEA, July 4, 1898. I)kau Rihteb. Today ia the moat glorious Fourth I have ever aeen. One more glorious victory added to the list. On a hard. Handy beach. 80 milea weat of Santiago de Cuba, lies the Criatobal Cdon, the pride of the Hjianinh navy. Strung along the beach between her and Santiago lies the rest of Cervera'a proud fleet. This is the end of the atory, however, so I will be gin at the beginning. Yenterday morning at 9:25 the first call for quarters had teen nounded, all hands. were dreBsed in clean white, and were await ing the second call, when Quartermaster Johnson, who had his glaxs on the entrance to the harbor, reported that the Spanish fleet was coming out. I thought it was only a joke, as did the ollicera, but the next instant the black nose of the Viscaya allowed, and then general quarters sounded. A aix-pounder gave her a challenge to battle, and as she still came on we pre pared to give her a fitting reception. The Oregon was directly in front of the harbor, so we had the firtt shot at her. She came out and headed west, hugging the ahore and firing broad aides as ahe came. After her came the Cristobal Colon, the Infanta Marie Teresa and another cruiser, a torpedo boat de stroyer and two torpedo boats. It looked to me as if they would never quit coming. We opened fire on all of them, each gun ner chont-ing his target. Hurrah! yells the crew, as a military mast coraeg tumbling down. Spanish shells are falling all around us, but do no damage. We are working like mad, load ing and firing ag fast as possible; covered with perspiration, and aaltpetre from the guns. They are making desperate attempts to get away, and Captain Clark steams ahead full apeed. Two or three shells have struck the enemy, doing much damage, but still they fight on. On we go, passing the Texas, and leaving Fighting Bob Evans in the rear, We are ahead of all the ships but the Brooklyn, and she is out to sea so ahe cannot do any shooting. On the port side ia the Teresa and ahead is the Colon, and another behind. Ilugging the ahore are tho torpedo boat destroyers. Bang! goes the six-inch gun, at which I am trainer. "Good shot, Leighton," eays the division officer to the gun captian, as a cloud of black smoke shoots up from her. "She's done for, and heads for the beach." Now begins the chase. The Viscaya is nearest, and we open fire on her. Bang! Bang! go the big guns, and the six-pouuders rattle like firecrackers. Ten minuter of this and then the crew nearly split their throats as a shell carries her flag away. An other strikes her astern, setting her on fire, and ahe runs ashore, a helpless wreck, with the smoke going up in great clouds. We gave her a few parting shots, and left her to the Cubans,' who were swarming through the hills, when ahe went ashore. She will get no mercy there! On we go a.ter the one remaining ship the Colon. ' The Brooklyn signals "Well done, Oregon!" ag we leave the pride of the Spanish navy burning on the beach. We settle down to business now, for the Colon is a fast cruiser. We are making more speed than the trial trip showed, and keeping it up. The ship seems to know what is expected of her, and goes ahead as if she were alive. The Brooklyn is supposed to make 22 knots, but she can't get ahead of us. Behind, the Texas and New York are doing their beet to keep up. Every few minutes the 13-inch guns sent a messenger to the Colon, all of them striking vory close, but did not hit her. The Brooklyn tried her luck, but missed. After half a dozen shots she quit. Fifteen minutes later, just as the Colon had reached a f-mall cove with a sandy beach, Cadet Overstreet tried the eifiht-inch gun. The Colon was fully three miles off, and we all strained our eyes to see the effect of the shot. It seemed an hour before it struck, but when it did strike, just at her water line, the crew yelled like madmen, for as the smoke cleared away the Spanith flag came down with a run. The fight was over, the victory was ours. They-am heron the bench to keep her from sinking. The crew were transferred to the Resolute, and we Bent a crew to take charge of her. She was filling fast, and during the night she lay over on her star board side and tho men had to leave her. She is in an easy po sition, and can easily be go' ten off, and will mak a nice addition to our navy. This morning we left the Texas to take care of the Colon, and steamed back to Santiago de Cuba, Just arrived at Santiago. We passed the Viscaya. She is a total wreck. Her bow is shot away, her masts gone, stern shot off, and fire finished what we left. The guns may be saved. At 11:40 we met the New York. On the beach lay the other two ships, silent testimonials of our gunners' skill. Could not see tha torpedo boats, so I guess they sunk. As I am writing the six-poundsrs are firing a salute to Commodore Watson, who promptly transferred his ring from his ship to the Oregon as we got here. An English and an Austrian ship arrived here this morning to see how the Yankees fight, but they are just a little late. I think tho people of Oregou should be proud of this ship, for the commander of the Colon said were it not for this ship he would have escaped with three ships, and sunk the Brooklyn. For my part I had rather have been on this ship as I was yes terday than to have had a lieutenant's commisoion on any other ship in the fleet. This is the most glorious Fourth I ever spent, for while we only had hardtack and canned meat for dinner we can afford to rejoice on an empty stomach. I feel sorry for the Spaniards who went ashore, as the Cubans have many wrongs to avenge, and they are not slow to take such an opportunity. I do not know whether Santiago has surrendered or not, but it is enough to know that the cream of tho Spanish navy is strung along the beach, and that the Oregon did the biggest part of it. Hurrah for the Oregon! We remembered the Maine. This paper I am writing on was taken off the Colon. FRED NELSON. GARCIA NOT BEAD But Freh That He U Been JJadly Treated. WHITES A LETTER TO MUFTER. The Breach Between the Cubans and Our Troops Widening Trouble With Them Probable. Niw York, July 22. A Santiago dis patch gives the following as being a let ter Kent by Genera) Garcia to General Shatter ; "Sir: On May 12, the government of tbe republic of Cuba ordered roe. as com mander of the Cuban army Intheeaat, to co operate with the American army, following the plans and obeying the or ders of its commander. I have done my bent, sir, to fulfill the wish of my govern ment, and I have been, until now, one of your most faitbfal subordinates, hon oring myself in carrying out your orders, so far as ray powers have allowed me to do it. When the city of Santiago sur rendered to the American army, news of that important event was given to rae by persons entirely foreign to yonr staff. I have not been honored with a single word from yfcuself. inform ing me about tbe negotiations for peace, or the terms of the capitulation by tbe Spaniards. Tbe important ceremony of the Spanish army and the taking pos session of tbe city by yourself took placer later, and I only knew of both events by public report. I was not honored, sirr with a kind woid from yoo, Inviting my self nor anv of my staff to represent the Cuban army on that memorable occa sion. "Finally, I know' that you have left in -power at Santiago the same Spanish au thorities that foi three years I hare fought as the enemies of the independ ence of Cuba. I beg to say that these authorities have never been elected at Santiago by the residents of the city, but were appointed by royal decrees of tbe Queen of Spain. "I w;uld agree, sir, that the army un der your command should have taken, possession of the city, the garrison and the forts. I would give my co-operatioo to any measure yon may have deemed best, under American military law, to hold the city for your army and to pre serve public order until the time comes for you to fulfill the solemn pledge to es tablieu in Cuba a free and independent government, made by the people of the United States. But when the question arises of appointing officers in Santiago de Cuba, under the peculiar circum stances of our 30 years strife against Spain's role, I cannot see, but with tne deepest regret, that such authorities are not elected by the Cuban people, but are the same ones selected by the Queen of Spain, and hence are ministers to de fend against the Cubans the Spsnisb sovereignty. "A rumor, too absurd to believe, as cribed as the reason of your measure and of your order, forbidding my army to go into Santiago, tbe fear of massacre ami revenge against the Spaniards. Allow me, sir, to protest against the shadow ot such an idea. We are not savages, ig noring the rules of civilized war. We aie a poor, ragged army as ragged and as poor as was the army of your fore fathers in their noble war for independ ence, but as did the heroes of Saratoga and Yorktowu, we respect too deeply our case to disgrace it with baibarisn and cowardice. "In view of all these reasons, I sin cerely regret to be unable, to fulfill any longer the orders of my government, and, therefore, I have today tendered to the commander-tn-chief of the Cuban army, Major-General Maximo Gomea, my resignation as commander of thi section of his army. "Awaiting his resolution, I withdraw my forces to the interior. Very respect fully. Calixto Garcia". Persons troubled with diarrhoea will be interested in the experience of Mr. W. M. Bush, clerk of Uotel Dorrance, Providence, R. I. He eays: '-'For several years I have been almost a con stant suffer from diarrhoea, the frequent attacks completely prostrating me and rendering me unfit for my duties at this hotel. About two years ago a travel ing salesman kindly gave me a email bottle of Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea remedy. Much to my surprise and delight its effectsjvere im mediate. Whenever 1 teilsyuipiomsd the disease I would fortify myself against the attack with a few doses of this valua ble remedy. The result has been very satisfactory and almost complete reliet from the affliction."" For sale by Geo. L Harding.
