After a chase of 60 miles to the
westward, the Brooklyn, closely fol
lowed by the Oregon, overhauled the
Cristobal Colon after she bad run
ashore and had hauled down her flag,
Captain Cook, of the Brooklyn, went
on board of her, and the commander of
the Spanish armored cruiser came for
ward to surrender and was taken on
board the New York, which came an
hour after the Brooklyn and Oregon
had completed the capture of the
Christobal Colon.
The latter was not seriously dam
aged, though she was struck several
times by shots from the Brooklyn and
Oregon.
During the chase, a clever man
euver of Commodore Schley In head
ing due west to Cape Caney, while tbe
Cristobal Colon had taken a more
southerly direction with a much
greater distance to cover, rendered
the Spaniard's escape impossible.
There seems to be no doubt that the
Cristobal Colon and perhaps the other
three Spanish armored cruisers would
have escaped had it not been for tbe
prompt actiou of Commodore Schley,
roe Brooklyn, bis nagsbip, alone was
in a position to attack the Spanish
vessels as they left the harbor, and the
commodore steamed directly toward
them and engaged all of the four
cruisers, inflicting great damage upon
them.
The Oregon was the first to join the
Brooklyn, and afterward the Iowa, In
diana, Texas and Vixen closed around
tbe Spaniards, all pouring in a deadly
fire, but from the beginning to the end
of the fight the Brooklyn, Oregon and
Gloucester did the most important
part in the destruction of the enemy.

A Jnst Recognition.
At tbe regular monthly meeting of
the board of trustees of the D. C. &
A. C, held at the club rooms, July 7,
1898, the following' resolution was
passed by a unanimous vote of the
trustees:
"Tbe recent celebration of the Fourth
of July having been in all respects a
success, and far beyond the most san
guine expectations of this club, under
whose auspices it was undertaken,
and the great success of the celebra
tion being due in great part to the un
tiring efforts of Capt. John W. Lewis,-
and he having relieved the officers of
the club of many arduous duties, and
in many ways advanced tbe work and
insured the success of the celebration,
therefore, it is hereby
Resolved, That a vote of thanks be
ard is herehr tendered to Capt. Lewis
for bis valuable services in further
ance of tbe celebration, and that this
resolution be entered upon the min
utes of this meeting and given to the
city papers for publication.

No Keform as Yet.
Portland. July 6 Something
seems to be the matter with the work
ings of the reform machine which was
to have been set in motion by Mayor
Mason. The town is literally full of
fakirs with all sorts of gambling de
vices and penny making schemes. The
nickel-in-the-slot machines, which
were removed from the . saloons in a
spasm of virtue two days before the
new administration came into office,
are all oack in place and reaping the
usual harvest from that class of peo
ple wbo are notorious for being soon
parted from their money. Not a sin
gle dance bouse has been closed and
tbe ordinance to close gin mills at 10
o'clock. a. m. is deader than ever.
Surely some one must have applied
"grease" to the machine.
