PLAN OF THE OREGON.
Battleship in Priests of PaIIas Parade
VIII Shoot Real Guns and
Ia EireuroOf.

The captain of the battleship Oregon.
which will be represented by float in the
Priests of Pallas parade. will be a boy.
He will occupy a position on the bridge,
dressed in uniform significant of his rank.
One of the jack tars will be placed in the
coming tower twenty-five feet high. The
builders were puzzled for a time to know
how they could get the battleship, which
is in all nearly forty feet high, under the
electric wires of the crossings. This was
surmounted by building the coming tower
of its being raised or lowered when pass
ing overhead Instructions.
In the forward and after turrets will be
placed mortars. which were received yes
terday from the national arsenal at Rock
Island, Ill.
The Oregon, however, will not be scene
of ruin and carnage The projectileS will
be fired directly upward. There will prob
ably be no shells used as the mighty war
ship passes between the tall buildings of the
city. The shells for the mortars are spe-
cially constructed of zinc, paper and cloth.
and when exploded will display a brilliant
shower of stars and meteors. All the ma
terials of which the float is constructed
have been soaked in chemicals and the
decks and turrets covered with asbestos, as
a precaution against fire. The whole af-
fair will weigh about eight tons and will
require at least four teams TO draw II
through the streets.

SHE IS A HONOLULU QUEEN.
Makes n Favorable Impression
in san Francisco.

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 22.-Miss Anna
Rose, of Hilo. Hawaiian islands, now here
on her way to Topeka, kas.. where she
is to reign as queen of the carnival, has
created decidedly favorable impression.
She is typical of her race, her mother be-
ing Il native Hawaiian of the full blood
and her father a German. Like most of the
art-Hawaiians, she resembles her mother.
She is a decidedly handsome girl, tall and
large with d skin between cream and olive,
and black curling hair. Her eyelashes
are long and sweeping, and they also
curl Her eyes are dark and expressive,
and the charm of her face lies in her pc
culiarly sweet smile. In manner. she is
gracious and charming. Her English is
perfect and without the slightest accent.
Only in the tones of her voice and in her
swinging step does she betray her ances-
try. After her arrival on the Alameda she
visited the Preside and witnessed dress
parade given in her honor by the Kansas
regiment. She has already been measured
for her state robes. and on Friday will
start for Topeka. stopping only at Sacra-
mento and Hutchinson, kas. She is only
- years old and has never before been
outside of her native islands.

BRYAN SEES THE PRESIDENT.
Washington Yesterday as Re-
turned SANTIAGO Hero.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 22.-Colonel Will
lam ]. Bryan, Third Nebraska volunteers,
was at the war department to-day, and oc-
casioned as much interest among employees
as returned Santiago hero. Colonel Bryan
was accompanied by Governor Holcomb
and Representative Stark. of Nebraska.
They went first TO the adjutant generals
office where Colonel Bryan registered,
stating that he expected 10 return to his
station to-day. In General Corbin's Office
he shook hands with the general and in
troduced the gentlemen accompanying him.
The call was formal and brief. The party
then introduced to Acting Secretary
Meikejohn, but remained there only u few
minutes returning TO the adJutant general
office. General Corbin inquired as to the
condition of the camp at Jacksonville, and
asked if the soldiers wanted to come home.
Colonel Bryan said that he had not made
poll, but his judgment as 10 their senti-
ment was that they did wish to be mus
tered out. Colonel Bryan went from the
adjutant generals Office TO army headquar-
ters, and called on General Miles.
Neither to the acting secretary of war nor
to the adiutant general did Colonel Bryan
make any request to the mastering out
of the Third Nebraska regiment, or allude
to the desires of himself in reference to
the subject.
After leaving the war department. Colo
mel Bryan and his party went to the White
House, where they We're Immediately ush-
cred into the presidents room. The party
| were cordially received by President Nc
| Rinley and remained in conference with
| him for more than an hour. They did not
prefer request for the mastering out
| of the regiment as whole. but only for
| the discharge of such of its members as
are disabled by disease such as have
pecuniary calls upon them. They repre-
sented that there We're about 20 per cent
| of the regiment Ill. and they urged that
| these should be relieved and sent to- their
| homes where, they argued, in all proba-
| bility most Of them would speedily re-
cover, because of the difference in the cli-
| mate of Nebraska and that of Florida
| The president gave careful attention to
| all that was said. and talked sympathet-
| ically with his callers concerning the con-
diton of these men, but he made no posi-
| tive promise to the course he would
pursue in the matter. After the interview
| with the president, the three Nebraskans
! returned to the war department. Mr.. Bry-
| an said, as he left the White House, that
| he would return to his regiment tonight.
| He was dressed in the full uniform of a
| colonel, and beyond the fact that his
complexion testified to his exposure to the
| Southern sun he looked very much as lie
| did in the campaign days of sc.
| Colonel Bryan said late tonight that he

GEN. AUGUSTI TALKS.
the Subsequent Blockade
and Siege,

MADRID, Sept. 22.-General Augusti. the
former captain general of the Philippine
islards, who has just arrived at Vittoria,
Spain, from Manila, in an interview is
quoted as discussing the Philippine question
in an interesting manner. He is alleged to
have said:
Before l left Spain knew the situation
in the Philippines was grave. Senior Moret
remarked TO me that if war with the
United States broke out there would be a
terrible state of things"
Continuing, General Augusti described
Admiral Montejo's feet as some .'old
wooden ships" and said they came to
Manila practically pursued by Dewey
He then said: Our batteries fired at the
Americans but our guns were mounted on
false plates and after the first shots they
became useless. At daybreak we were

SHAFTER TO OLD COMRADES.
.paign-Havana the First OBJ
jectiye Point.

CONSTANTINE MICH, Sept. 22.-Gen-
eral Shafter made a speech TO his old
comrades to-day at the reunion of the
Nineteenth Michigan regiment, of which
he was colonel during the civil war. He
said that when the American fleet first left
Tampa it was intended to land it twen-
ty-five miles from Havana and march on
that city. When, however, the fleet put
back because of the reported proximity of
a Spanish squadron, word was received
from Admiral Sampson that Santiago could
be taken in twenty-four hours and the
army sailed for that point. General Shat
ter then described in his own characteristic
manner the campaign at Santiago. After
reaching the point in his story where the
Spanish general offered to surrender, Cen
eral Shafter concluded as follows:
Il said Toral might march out, salute
his flag before taking it down and fire guns
and any other ceremonies he pleased, and
l would observe what forms 1 pleased.
so they took down their flag, fired their
guns and Santiago was surrendered. 1t
was beautiful and dramatic. When we
raised our flag the officers took OH their
hats and our guns saluted.
"A lot has been said about lack OF sup
plies. Men who go to war expect to be
short rationed sometimes. You old SOL
diers here have often had much less to eat
than the soldiers ever did at Santiago. My
corn in the cob for meal.
1T was not question of having sup
plies when if We had had a thousand
wagons the fearful roads would not have
let me take It 10 the front. But the men
had coffee. bread and meat. Sometimes
they had to pound the coffee in the rag,
| but you all did that. Some of the men
| complained, but they are good soldiers in
| spite of that, and fought like heroes when
| called on.
Tents could not be put up because the
| men were in the trenches and tents could
not be pitched on the firing line.
I'VE stayed longer than We expected after
| the surrender, but had to stay-the honor
! OF the government demanded il, and we
| stayed. Five hundred men came down
| every day with sickness and some days
| 500.
But we had brought the war to a close
| The capture Of the fleet prevented fresh
| troops from being brought over. but il
| did not stop the war The surrender oi
| Torals army did stop it.
| People say We should not have made that
| campaign in the summer. What else could
| be done? We had to end the war and end
| it quickly. There was less loss of life by
| 100 per cent than in any similar invasion
| Napoleon returned from Egypt with only
