THE OFFI CIAL REPORT Oregon I-'o si- Kan Aground in n Dense Iris Coins' to Her Assistance. W.HjiiiKCiTox, June 30. Tho following dispatches were received at tho navydu parttnont relative lo the grounding of the Oregon : "Che Foo, Juno L'u. Secretary of the navy r Anchored yesterday during a dento fog in seventeen fathoms, three miles south of How Ko Light, Gulf of Pe Chi Li, Kent out two boats and sounded; least water five and a half fathoms, Weather clear.

Urooklyn leaves for Nagasaki. The Ztillro at Olio Foo lias been sent lo assist the Oregon, reported by Rogers on rock south How Ko Light. Iris going to her assistance. RitMnv." The point whore the Oregon grounded Is fifty miles west northwest of Che Foo. Tiiku is 150 miles west of Pinnuclo rock, where hIio struck. Pinnacle rock is about 25 feet high, is encircled by a shoal, und should not be approached nearer than three cables. According to the Hydro graphic iiureau offlclale, there is a strong current of from three lo five knots' speed always prevalent in this vicinity, und this fact, together with tho dense fog that prevailed at the time, greatly en hanced the danger of navigating the Oregon. The officials of tho Naval Hydrographv er'fl office say there is a great rise and fall of tiie tide at this point -about 10 feet and it is possible that the Oregon may have been lifted by the water and set all'jat without assistance. Captain Wilde's statement of the in juries sustained by tho Oregon is scarcely sufficient to unable the navy constructor here lo form a definite opinion as to the prospects of aaving tho famous ship. They aay, howover, that tho ship prob ably can bo saved if tho weather does not become rough, but, unfortunately, this is tho season of storms in Chinese waters. At tiie request of the secretary of the navy, the state department today sent a message to the Russian government at St. Petersburg, asking permission to take the Oregon to Port Arthur to be docked tliero in the event thai tho ship can bo flouted. It may be said that, from the facts set out in Captain Wilde's cablegram, tho officials aro not inclined to censure him. llo was under orders to hurry, warranting tho asHUinptiou of risk. He appears to have observed all of the usual precautious possible under such orders. and it is known that the charts of that section aro inadequate. Air.
