Extent of the Damage to the Oregon
still an Uncertainty.

There is still some uncertainty as to
the actual extent of the damage to the
battleship Oregon. There seems TO be
some delay in pumping the water from
the drydock. and yesterday afternoon.
when all should have been clear, accord
ing 10 previous calculation. there was still
about ten feet Of water in the dock. Tn
til the water is removed ii will be i'm
possible to ascertain the extent TO which
the oregon is damaged. The divers who
are working within the drydock claim that
1t Is so dark they cannot see.
The obstruction in the dredged channel
has been discovered. 1t is a bank of
old sunken piles and hard pan which has
evidently been there for some time, and
was probably left by the contractors.
Samples of the obstruction have been for
warded to Washington. An order for two
hull plates to replace those damaged on
the Oregon, has been sent TO San Fran
cisco; also the Measurements of the bilge

fitted on the Oregon's sides
