THE ORBGON WAS IN IT.
The only Vessel That Had Go at the
Entire Spanish Fleet.

Portsmouth. n, H.. July 1.-THE few
officers who came on the St Louis ana
who participated in the fight with the
Spanish cruisers of Santiago were obliged
to tel the whole story Of the memorable
contest.
While in the main their accounts did
not dtfrer materially from those described
in the papers, yet thy seem to give credit
to the work OF the oregon. From an oc-
count as given by one of the officers, It
apperas that on the morning Of the fight
four American warships lay of the en-
trance ef the harbor,
The oregon was slightly to the east,
then to the westward came the converted
yacht Gloucester. lying between the Ore
gon and Iowa. To the westward Of the
Iowa was the Texas, while further along,
in fact, eight or ten miles to the west or
the harbor, was the Brooklyn, with Com
modore Schley on board. The position
of the fleet was in keeping with the plan
mapped out by Admiral Sampson and his
command had definite orders what to do
in case the Spanish fleet made a dash out
Of the harbor.
While all the ships had steam up, none
OF them, with the exception of the Brook
lyn, was under way. The latter had
few minutes previous to the sighting OF
the Spaniards, turned away to the west
ward. and when the first shot was fired
from the Iowa she was going away from
the fleet at an lS-knot gait. Just why
the Brooklyn was steaming off to the
west at this time is not known, but
although she had not gone far and was
still probably quite near the station desig-
mated by Admiral Sampson, her COM
mander nevertheless had to swing around
and in doing so he put his helm to star
board and made long sweep to port,
going a mile or more off shore in the
maneuver.
The first Spaniard that came rushing
out of the harbor's mouth was the Girls

After Surrendering They Disable Their
Guns and Open Water Valves

Washington. July 1l.--Naval officials say
that serious irregularlty occurred at the
time the ships of Admiral Cervera's fleet
hauled down their colors and surrendered.
Inquiries have brought out the fact
that the breech blocks Of the guns were
thrown overheard, thus disabling the guns
and making them practically worthless,
and the valves by. which the ships were
flooded opened after the surrender, which
was breach OF the rules of warfare, the
enemy having ceased fighting and having
asked for quarter. It is said that further
destruction of the ships at such a time
was both wanton and dlshonorable and
that If the persons responsible for 1t are
located they are likely to be held account
able.
The press report of the boards findings
saying that only the Maria Teresa could
be saved excited much surprise, as It was
