The Battle-Ships
Ordered
DEWEY
THE
HERO
Dewey's Fleetj Reinforced by These Two
Vessels Will be Stronger Than Ger
many's Pacific Squadron,, and
Will Hold Its Own.
Associated Press Dispatches. - ;
New York, Sept. 15. A special to the Herald from Washington
eajs: J
Secretary of the Navy LoDg stated last night that the battleships
Iowa and Oregon are under orders to proceed to Manila, via Honolulu,
to reinforce Admiral Dewey's command. In directing them to touch
at Honolulu, the authorities were actuated by two motives the first to
put them in a central position where they could be available for any
duty in the Tacific and which might be considered desirable, and the
second because they did not care to send reinforcements to Rear Ad
miral Dewey before the armistice between the United States and
Spain expired.
It is expected in official circles that the battleships and the five
colliers whioh will accompany them will be ready to sail by Monday
next. The ships will not waste any time io making the voyage. They
will make few stops and these only to coal and communicate with the
department.
While believing there will be no international developments to
change the program, the authorities do not propose to be in such a
position that they canuot modify the instructions to the vessels in case
of necessity and it is for this reason they are to touch at certain points
to report and receive orders.
The dispatch of the colliers with the battleships is due to the de
sire of the authorities to keep them bo well supplied with coal that if
it becomes necessary to change the course of the ships aud send them
to Samoa, or by a short cut to Manila, they can make the voyage with
out difficulty.
So far as Germany is concerned, the authorities say there is noth
ing in her httitude to cause the belief that she proposes to interfere
with any diripohition of the Philippines this government may see fit to
make. It is appreciated, however, that it will be the part of wisdom
for the United States to put in the Pacific a force so formidable as to
discourage even this suggestion of interference.
Germany's force in the Pacific coiisists of the armored cruisers
Kaiser and Deutschland; the protected ctuisers Kaiseriu Augusta,
Irene, Princess Wilhelm, Geifon, Cormoran aud t'alke.
The displacement of Hear-Admiral Dewey's present force amounts
to yn,S:J2 tons, while that of the German commander reaches 37,881.
Uear-Admiral Dewey's ships, however, are better artuod than the Ger
man men-of-war, aud his men Lave the advantage of having been under
fire.
The monitors Monterey and Monadnock are mainly serviceable for
work in smooth water, and if the Germao ships should start for the
Pacific const, as would be the case in the event of war, Kear-Admiral
Dy would hive only bis protected cruisers and gunboata to depend
upon. With two battleships at bis disposal, increasing the tonnage of
Lit iMiaHdron to .12, 1.7J tons, Le woold Lave a inoat formidable force.
New Yobk, Kept 1.1. A dispatch to the Herald from WasLington
says:
Hmetary Long La IhnuihI orders disbanding the Kanlorn suad

The orders indicate the firmnoasof tb Ixtliff entntaiued by the

Th Kantero squadron was formal juat before the detraction of Or-vi-ra's

Goddard tonight at tbe Arena. God
dard waa considerably heavier than tbe
California, but be laoked in goience.
Oboynski made a chopping block of tbe
Australian and several times it looked as
though Goddard would not be able to
stay tbe full six rounds. Tbere was bat
little fighting in tbe opening round.
In tbe second roand Oboynski landed
several hard lefts on Goddard 's faoe, but
tbe latter could not gel in a good blow.
Tbe third, fourth and fifth rounds were
repetitions of tbe second, Ghoyuski do
ing nearly all the leading, and landing
almost ct will. In tbe closing round
Ooddard fought wildly, while Oboynski
was calm and banged Goddard on tbe
jaw, sending him lo bis knees. Oboyn
ski landed bard and often, but be oould
not atop the Auetralian.
OREGON'S BIG YEAR.
Sale of Her Products Will Net Her Abont
14,000,000.
Morning Oregonlati.
Fourteen million dollars! The amount
looks like a Seattle estimate of the Klon
dike output, but it is not. It is only tbe
lowest calculation of the inoome from
three of Oregon's great industries, grain,
bops aid wool, this year. It does not
inolade lumber, which will yield several
millions more.
The lowest returns from tbe fields jus
tify tbe figures given. A conservative es
timate places tbe wheal crop at 22,000.-
000 busbels. Tbe lowest prioe asked is
50 cents per bushel in tbe field, equal to
63 or 64 oents here. This will yield tbe
farmers 911,000,000. They are holding
off for their figures, and their ability to
bold off shows that Ibey are in a pros
perous condition. At present but little
wheat is moving, as tbe views ot the
buyers snd sellers do not ooiooida.
Harvesting ot tbs bop orop is nearly
completed. Tbe quantity is one-qoarler
sborl or last year, but tbe qaallty is of
tbe best, and tbe prioea will be double
those ot 1H97. Tbs market is now very
aolive al 9 to 10fj cents. Early in the
season many growers mads contracts at
8 oents, and they are not shrinking
from delivery, although they could now
make better bargains. Tbs Earopeao
orop ia one-quarter abort. Tba 'New
York yield Is about lbs lams as lasl
year, bat tbe quality ia poor.
Wool is in s deadlook. Growers ask
50 oeota per scoured pound, which is al
present tbe outside Boston figure.
Dealers ara trying to buy at 4(1 or 47
oents. One-tbird of tbe clip bss been
old at prioea averaging 47 oents, while
tbe average quality has brought 13 to 14
oents, according to location.
Tbs total value ot tbs woo! and bop

CHBHALIS BOLD.
Ed Mills Pays 17,000 for the Black Facer
Jap.
East Oregonlan.
Frank Frazier baa sold Ohehalis, so
ay tbe horse papers, and tbe reputed
prioe is 87,000. The news will be iba
cause for feelings of regret on the oarl
of the Pendleton friends of Mr. Frazier
and the admirers ot 'the little black
paoer, who took great pride io the faot
thai a Pendleton horse was going against
and beating the world's fastest horses of
that class of racers.
The price, $7,000, is spparently low tor
a horse of tbe speed ot Obebalis. but it
is easily explainable, when it ie told that
tbe management of tbe eastern circuits
will rule off hobbled horses, and Oheha
lis most neoessarily go with tbe hobbles.
Even as a breeder of fine oolts, the paoer
is worth more money , but the owner,
Mr. Frazier, apparently thought $7,000
represented hie market value, and let
him go at that figure.
The Horse Review, of the issue ot Sep
tember 6, says of the last raoe at Read-
ville, Mass. :
"The 2:05 pace was a Deouliar raoa.
Eb Mills bad bought Chehalie for the
reputed price of $7,000 and Jerry O'Neil
bad tbe mount behind the Oregon paoer.
The race was played good and strong,
with Obebahs selling for 8100. field 8200.
Bumps look the traok at the word, and
was never beaded until be reached the
short distance, When Roan Wilkes oama
through with Ohehalis lapped on to him.
