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. . -
