 THE OREGON Fought Spain's Entire
 Fleet Alone. LETTER FROM A MARINE DESCRIBES THE BATTLE OFF
 SANTIAGO.
Balance of the American Ships Un- able to Keep Up With the Naval Bulldog From the Pacific
 Coast.
Special Correspondence of The Gall.

ON BOARD U. S. s. OREGON, off Santiago de Cuba, July 6, 1S98.-Owing to a grave mistake that has been made in regard to that naval battle that was fought and won by the American navy, and in which the battleship Oregon took such an active part, am writing this letter in behalf of the crew of the above-named battleship, and to give the American people true account in as few words as possible, of this great naval victory, and red letter day in the history of America
 To commence with, about twenty nine minutes after nine on the morn ing of July 8, 1898, was standing on the bridge of the Oregon, when the signal quartermaSter sung out that the Spanish fleet was coming out of the harbor. All of the crew and officers were in their best uniforms waiting for quarters as it was Sunday morning and it was to be general muster. The first one to catch the word was Cap tain Clark and he did not lose any time in getting upon the bridge. I took my station at ne six-pounder gun No.
 
 bridge Captain Clark told me to go ahead and fire the gun so as to get the first shot in on them, and to have it the chall nge shot I loaded up and fired just as the bow of the first cruis- CT had cleared the corner of Morro Castle. The shot went clean across her and dropped in the channel so the remainder of the cruisers would know that we were there and ready to give them battle. After this first shot, the battle was on, for the minute this cruiser had got clear of every hing she fired her whole broadside at us, but thanks to God and our gallant captain, the shell all went over us without do- ing any damage.
 At this time there were none of the other ships of tie American fleet closer than four miles, so the Oregon had to give battle to four of Spain's .rst-class cruisers and two torpedo boats all

ABSURD PROCLAMATION
 ISSUED BY AGUINALOO

LONDON, July 23.-The Hongkong correspondent of the Daily Mail says:
 "The latest mail from Manila reports that the rebels have lately suffered several reverses and have lost territory south of Malate. General Aguinaldc has issued an absurd proclamation, dealing chiefly with official insignia. He, as president of the Philippine Mln- lstry, IS to wear gold collar, gold triangular pendant, engraved with the sun and three stars, and to carry a gold whistle, as well as stick with d gold handle and tassel of gold.

WASHINGTON, July 22-The letter written by General Garcia to General Shafter was read and discussed at some length at the Cabinet meeting to- day, and the opinion was expressed that it evidently was based upon a wrong conception of the purposes and motives of our people.

Minister of Public Instruction Gamazo Makes a Most Significant Utterance on the
 Subject.

LONDON, July 22.-The Madrid cor respondent of the Daily Mail says: Senor Sagasta told a representative of El Imparcial to-day (Friday) that the Government had already entered upon the preliminary stage of peace negotia- tions. General Polavieja has arrived and will have an audience with the Queen Regent tomorrow.
 MADRID, July p, s a. m.-The Min ister of Public Instruction, Senor Ga mazo, is authority for the state ment that peace, honorable to the Spanish army, will shortly be con- cluded.
 In an interview in the Correspon- dencia Militar, the organ of the army. Senor Gamazo is quoted as saying: The suspension of constitutional Hb- erty cannot be agreeable to the press, because 1t abrogates freedom and pre- vents the publication of news which costs much. But at this moment what can the Government do but check the hostile campaign waged against it? 1 was the first to beg the Cabinet to treat the question as urgent, and do not regret my action. will say from my seat in Parliament that l am con- vinced that I did a service to my country.
 At the same time I can give you news which will please the press. The suspension of the constitution will not last long, for several reasons One of them is the calmness displayed by the people and the army. It is not for me to conceal the intentions of the Govern ment, which are to conclude an honor able peace, which will, in the first place, satisfy the aspirations of the army. After then, if Senor Sagasta should think fit, he will ask the Queen Regent if she still has confidence in her present advisers"
 LONDON, July 22.-The statement made by Senor Gamazo, the Spanish Minister of Public Instruction, to the effect that peace, honorable to the Span ish army, will shortly be concluded. is regarded in London more as an indi- cation of personal opinion or hope than as refiecting any general decision of the Cabinet. Nothing showing any move in the direction of peace has been received here from any quarter likely

British and Norwegian Steamships With Coal for the Spaniards in
 Cuha

POINTE A PITRE, Guadaloupe, July Il (Call-Herald Special Correspondence).- Two steamship, the Norwegian F'rithjtof Nansen and British Barton, each carrying coal for Spaniards have been lying in this port for the last twelve days. When these vessels entered port it was announced they would stop here for repairs. The an- nouncement was coincidental with the ap- pearance of their captains at the Spanish consulate. Searchlights can be seen every night outside the harbor, and American vesseas are believed to be watt ing outside to seize these two colliers if they should attempt to leave port.

 heretofore. The Spaniards have a strong outpost at Santa Ana, east of the city, which is now al most cut off from the main lines. If the rebels can carry this post they will have the whole city in vested. The fighting there is likely to continue several days longer. There was a continuous fusillade all around Manila on Saturday and Sunday morning, but the Spanish and rebels hugged their trenches and little damage was done.
 The Spanish loss at Santa Ana was between twenty and thirty; at Malate, five, and at Baliebalic, eight to ten. The rebel loss prob ably was heavier, as the Span iards, when they retired from Ba- liebalic on the north side of the city, found the bodies Of twenty rebels close up to the Spanish trenches.
 The Spaniards still maintain their outposts at Malate, Singa- lon, Santa Ana, Santa Mesa, Ba- liebalic and Gagalanguin. Sev- eral citizens were killed and wounded at Malate by the rebel artillery One projectile struck the cable company's house; an other just missed the English clubhouse. The rebels have ta- ken the blockhouse at Morvpago at the north end of the town, greatly weakening the Spanish position.
 The Spaniards are throwing up earthworks into which to retire. Their troops do twenty-four hours trench duty. Within three weeks it will all be over.
 Five hundred men have gone into the hospital with fever. The hospitals are overcrowded, but they are clean and we'll arranged and amply supplied with sur geons. Skilled English naval doctors, who were invited to wit ness some of the difficult surgi- cal operations, have reported ia vorably on the work they wit messed.
 The health of the naval crews IS excellent.
 The Japanese cruiser Manila has just arrived, bringing news of Admiral Sampson's great victory. | As the signal went up on the flag ship the seamen on all the vessels in the harbor gave rousing cheers. Their ardor was tenn pered only by the news that Ad- miral Camara was not coming to Manila.
 A curious accident is reported from one of the outposts. An ar tllleryman was loading a field piece with a 4-inch shell when a rebel bullet struck the shell, ig- hitting the fuse. The shell ex- ploded and the gunner's head, arms and face were shattered and his legs terribly injured. He is still alive, and the English sur geon says he may survive.
 The insurgents under General Moral have turned the left flank of the Spanish defenses at Malate and they now say they have firm grip on that place. The Spanish still hold Malate arsenal, which Moral threatens with two I3-inch smooth bores. The rebels are also strongly en- trenched at Santa Ana. The Spanish have burned off the brush and native huts, and any advance into Malate must be made under heavy fire. When l was on the beach within a mile of Manila on Thursday, between the lines, could see the positions Of both forces. Heavy firing has taken place every day since, and on Thursday 1t was particularly

ernment as men, and no greater absur- dlty, to use no harsher term, can be pre- sented to the human mind than that of TeWardlng men and puniShing women for the same act, without giving women any voice In the question of which shall be rewarded and which shall be punished Judge Hunt, who presided over the trial, qenled a trial by jury and rendered aver dlct o1 guilty, with a penalty of S100 and costs of suit. Miss Anthony declared that all her stock in trade was S10, 900 debt, incurred by publishing her paper the Revolution four years before; that she should work on with might and main to pay every dollar of that honest debt, put not penny should go to this unjust claim. And the claim has never been pressed.
 Some time in the late seventies Miss Anthony, Mrs. Stanton and Matilda Joce- iyn Gage began to work together upon
 The History of Woman Suffrage" AS Mrs. Stanton's health forbade her going on the lecture platform in the autumn of lSSO, and as Miss Anthony had now enough money ahead to dare claim a little leisure from public work, they decided to settle down to. the serious business of writing the history. For this purpose Miss An thony went to Tenafiy in October and en- home among the blue hills of Jersey'' Their task was frightened by the receipt of a thousand dollars from Mrs. Elizabeth Thompson for immediate expenses, and so they went on performing all the drudgery of such an undertaking. Miss Anthony hated this kind of work, and 1t was tor ture for her to give up her active life and sit boring over the musty records of the past. Her diary contains the usual im-

Every time she appeared on the stage the audience broke into applause; when she rose to speak they stood upon the seats and waved mats and ,handkerchiefs. When she was advertised for an address there was a rush from other halls and an impene- 5raple jam in the corridors Large num- Ders Of the women who gave addresses in these various meetings paid tribute to her work and the mention of her name never failed to elicit a burst of applause. At the many public and private recep- ttions given to the congress the post of honor was assigned to her and no guest ever was satisfied to leave without hav- ing touched her hand.
 It is impossible to here review exhaust lively the history of life so full of years and activity Readers, whether or no they be in sympathy with the opinions which Miss Anthony advocated, will find this most interesting book. beautifully written.

But one can draw rather close differences from general personal knowledge of the subject; ana so inferring. in the instances men toned, should say that a sale of 35,OOO copies of Captains Courageous" meant for Mr. Kipling about s10000, in addl- tion to whatever gross sum may nave been paid him down for the right 10 publish the book; and that sale or 15, 900 copies of Caleb West" meant to MT. Smith something over $4oeO, ana sale of 22,000 of The Story of an Un- told Love- meant to MT. Ford about the same, the retail price of his book being less than that of MT. Smiths.
 The popularity of Caleb Vest makes of present interest an account that MT. Smith gave a friend or mine some time ago of his original way Of writing a novel. It was at the time that Colonel Carter of Gainesville" was being read by everybody, and had par ticular relation to that novel, but still it is substantially the method followed by Mr. Smith in writing his subsequent novels. First he dictates skeleton l. or outline under chapter headings, ana this is written out by a typewriter ana arranged in a book, with wide mar gin down one side of the page. In this margin he notes, as they occur to him, ideas, incidents, it's of converse tion and so on that he thinks may be worked into the respective chapters op- posite which they are entered. When of this preliminary work he thinks he has done enough, he takes his note book and shuts himself up with it in as still and out-of-the-Way a room as he can command, and produces con- nected narrative, written usually with a lead pencil. This the typewriter copies out, and then MT. Smith takes the new, fair copy, and proceeds to make it look as bad as possible, revis ing and revising again. He has been known to rewrite chapter more than half dozen times. Even after thing is in type he won't let it go, but corrects until the printers groan. It is not little to this gift for taking no end of pains that MT. Smith owes the pleasant experience of never having had manuscript rejected, although he took up writing rathe' as an avocation after he had come full into middle life
