The Battle Ship Oregon Ready for

WASHINGTON. April 14.-Commandant
Whiting. of the naval station at Bremerton.
Wash. reported further to-day to the sec
retary of the navy respecting the grounding
of the Oregon while lying off the new dry
dock there. Il appears from his report
that while the exact amount or damage
to the ship has not yet been ascertained.
il is probably slight and not SUFFICIENT TO
delay the ship moment from going to
sea, for hard service, II necessary Com
mandant Whiting says that the Oregon was
lying moored off the mouth of the dry dock
waiting until the next high tide to go in.
She was deep in the water, and as the
night tide was the highest. she was lying
off waiting unit! a. m. AS the tide fell
away the big ship rested on the bottom at
a point just beneath her forward turret.
When the tide came in she entered the dock
without mishap. She was ordered into dock
originally for the purpose not only or clean
ing and painting. but of taking careful
measurements and making templates for
bilge keels with which she is hereafter to
be fitted. AS she must thus lie i'm dock for
some time, there will be ample opportunity
ty to make a thorough inspection inside ard
out of the condition of the ships bottom
where she touched. Unless that shows Sc
rious damage. IL is improbable that the de-
partment will order court of inquiry. The
Construction Bureau has no doubt of Its
ability to repair with the present facilities

tained. but the constructors 90 not DeileNe
that any repairs will be Immediately neces-

LONDON, April l4.-The book written by
Mrs. John Hays Hammond. wife of the
American engineer who was member of
the Johannesburg reform committee and
who was sentenced TO death and subse-
quently liberated on the payment of a
neavy fine, was published to-day. 1t is en-
titled "A Woman's Part i'm the Revolu-
ton" and consists mainly in personal ex-
periences. 1t touches only lightly on the
causes of the revolution at Johannesburg
in Difference TO the silence imposed on ner
husband when he was liberated from
prison. Mrs. Hammond confirms the state
ment that DR.. jameson was not to start TO
the assistance of the people of Johannes
burg until directly summoned by the lead
there. With reference to the finding OF
the letter of invitation i'm DIR. Jamesons $
saddlebag after his capture by the Beers
at Krugersdorp. Mrs. Hammond asks:
why in the name of all that Is discreet
and honora BILE did he not eat it? She
gives a graphic account of her visit to
President Kruger when the gallows was
prepared for the execution of her husband
and his companions. With reference to the
denial of Joseph Chamberlain, the secre-
tary Of state for the colonies, that Great
Britain had promised protection TO the re-
formers Mrs. Hammond says she would
never make her sons statesmen, but
would rather set them plowing.
