THE OREGON SAFE.

Washington, May 1S,--secretary Long
gave out the welcome information today
that the hattleshlp oregon, the second
largest ship IN tho American navy, had
successfully completed her long trip from
San Francisco making the entire circle
of South America, and was now safe
Whether or not she has Joined Admiral
Sampson's fleet, the secretary would not
say. The rigid secrecy OF the navy de-
partmcnt was relaxed only enough 10
make known the best news the navy de-
partment has received since the battle of
Manila, ns It meant not only that the
oregon was out OF harms way from a
on this ono ship by the
whole Spanish squadron now In southern
waters, but also that her lighting strength
would be added to Admiral Simpsons
force IN the near future, II indeed It had
not already augmented the Admiral's
strength.
The oregon left San Francisco about six
weeks before tho war opened, and at that
time II was admitted that she was to Join
the other ships in Atlantic waters She
stopped at Callao for dispatches and then
went around the horn, and then up the
east coast OF South America, In all the
trip covered was more than 1900 miles,
The last stretch, from Bahia to the Wind

THE ALARAMA LAUNCHED.

Philadelphia, May N-T'he battleship
Alabama was successfully launched at
Cramps ship yard at noon today.
Acting under instructions from the
United States authorities at Washington
the Cramp Ship and Engine Building Co,
announced that the launching OF the bat
\ tleship Alabama would be private. The
yard was under guard and only a small
party OF invited guests from Washington
were admitted. This Is the first time the
general public has been excluded from
launch since the building Of the new
navy. In the past the exercises have at
tracted thousands OF spectators.
Miss Morgan, daughter OF Senator Nor
gan. broke the bottle OF wine over the
ships bow and gave the name to her.
For tee past two weeks John Keen,
boss ship carpenter, and his trained force
OF mechanics. have been engaged in ad-
justing with mathematical precision the
bilgeways which are prepared with their
proper position. already for the huge oak
wedges. As she stood ready to plunge
into the water the battleshlp looked like
big red giant chained to the earth, but
prepared at the word to spring forward
and be completed, so that she might be
able 10 take part in maintaining the honor
OF the United States against any foe. In
height she lowered above everything in
sight and the great length and breadth
OF beam bespeaks her tremendous power
for attack or defense. Ii will be several
months, however, before she win be
ready to be turned over to the United
States government.
If the officials at washington desired
II and issued an imperative order to that
effect the ship could be made ready for
war duty In about six months, but this
would necessitate the putting on of a
double set of workmen TO labor day and
night. Under ordinary circumstances she
would be ready in about a year from now,
for 1t takes something like three years TO
plan and complete vessel of this type
Besides, it is said, there may be some
difficulty in obtaining the great amount
of armor that will be required owing to
the fact that the government has not taken
kindly to the high prices which have been
in vogue for some time. But by the time
the material is needed II is thought some
amicable arrangement will have been
made whereby the heavy steel plates can
be obtained on satisfactory terms,
The Alabama will be one Of the three
