MAUCH 31. 1899 THE MOST FAMOUS BATTLE SHIP On March 19, 1898, the United States battle-ship Oregon left San Francisco for her long run eastward around South America. The per formance was watched by the whole people, the chance of attack by the Spanish fleet, whose whereabouts at sea were unknown, giving the long voyage a sensational aspect. The Oregon reached the Florida coast May 24th. Though she had run 14, 000 knots she was reported ready for duty and at once steamed to her place in the Cuban fleet. -Forty days later she took a leading part in the battle with Cervera's ship?. It was her speed and heavy guns that pre vented the escape of the Colon, which had outstripped the other Spanish vessels. If the Colon had run the gauntlet successfully the vic tory would have been seriously in complete and the war prolonged, for it was the utter obliteration of their squadron that completed the dis couragement and' disgust of the Spanish people. On March 18, 1899, just one year, less a day, after her departure from San Francisco, the Oregon steamed into the bay of Manila and Dewey cabled that she was fit for any duty. .Again she had steamed around South America, and,' in addition, had crossed the Pacific. The voyage of 20,000 knots from New York to Manila was not a race against time, .but wns completed between October 12th and March 18th. The speed of the Oregon is no less remarkable than her mechanical perfection.- A year ago she ran the 4076 knots between San Francisco and Callao in fifteen and a half days, an average of 563 knots a day. The final run of over 5000 knots from Honolulu to Manila was made in tw&ffty-six days. No battle-ship in esnstence has a record approaching this. The Ore gon was built by American me chanics in San Francisco, which less than sixty years ago was a foreign village of 500 inhabitants. Half a century of American expansion there has produced a splendid metropolis, and one capable of constructing the greatest battle-ship in all history. The Oregon will be . a powerful factor in preserving peace at Manila and elsewhere in the archipelago. In the event of further trouble she will be equally powerful in maintain ing the prowess of the American navy. America can never lose where rolls the Oregon." ! It is estimated that $60,000,000 will be required per year to maintain Jin army of 40,000 men in the Philip pines. This amount of money could be saved from the pension payments without denying deserving old soldiers of a dollar of their pension money. The United States paid Spain 2o, 000,000 for acknowledging she was licked and 13,000,000 Jo the Cuban soldiers for being in at the finish. There could not be greater generosily on the part of a conquering and all powerful nation. So many persons are sending their pictures to Admiral Dewey that the photographic supply dealers have advanced the prices of their goods. This will be welcome news to the gallant old admiral. . - aitmarek'i Iron Iverve Was the reeult of his splendid health.
