capture was made by the Brooklyn
because the Commodore was on
board and We gave way to her. The
Colon's officers said after the night
that the Oregon caused them to maui
down the flag, rs they could not
stand the terrific fire from her guns,
and if they could nave outdistanced
her they were confident OF disabling
the Brooklyn and getting away.
The Oregon was the furthest east OF
all at the start, except the Indiana.
Capt. Phillip of the Texas wondered
how we could make such speed, and
was amazed at the way the Oregon
pushed ahead and kept along with
the Brooklyn. In fifteen minutes
she passed all the fleet to the west
ward, and, bearing down close in
shore, engaged with all her guns at
once everything in sight"
Raymond Rodgers, the executive
OF the Indiana, writes that when
the Oregon came racing across his
bow it was the grandest sight he
eyer witnessed. She charged
right down, he says, on the Spanish
feet, letting go first at one vessel
and then the other, and all the time
carrying great white bone in her
teeth that told Of her engine power
and great burst ofspeed. All the time
she was running men were working
on one of the after 13-inch guns,
while the other was being fired right
alongside in the turret.

A GREAT SHIP
The Oregon is the Greatest Battle Ship
AhOat.


Washington, July 1S.-Naval Of
ficers with the fleet now off Santiago
who have written to their friends
here OF the great fight between the
Spanish vessels and those OF the
American feet give great credit to
the Oregon for haying done more to
prevent single ship escaping than
any vessel in the chase. The work
of this ship. is described as magnif-
cent, and had it not been for the con-
dition of her engines, one officer
says, the. Cristobal Colon, and per-
haps another Spanish cruiser would
have got away. The Oregon is snip
posed to be capable OF OF a speed OF
about 1 5 knots under forced draught,
but when pointed for the nearest
Spaniard and went ploughing
through the water across the bows
of the big Iowa, the scene is described
by her executive officers as being the
finest show of power and speed ever
displayed by battleship. With
every gun, except one 13-inch in the
| after turret blazing forth, the Ore
gon is represented in aletter received
here as dashing forward out OF the
bunch OF ships, and in ten minutes
after the start, taking the next place
to the Brooklyn in the big race.
From that time on she was under
forced draught all the time and
making higher speed than she had
ever recorded while in the service.
At some periods of the race the big
vessel is believed to have been going,
according to her engines, oyer 16
knots, which tallies with Captain
Eulate's statements that no battle
ship making only 10 knots could
possibly have kept up with the fast
Colon with her high power engines.
An officer writing from the Oregon
speaks thus OF the vessel:
"The Oregon was the only battle
ship keeping up with the pace set by
the Brooklyn, and kept neck and
neck with her during the early part
OF the race and by her fast running
got on the inside of the Brooklyn
and next the Colon. From $50 in
the morning when the Colon first
poked her nose out and the race was
on, until 1:12 in the afternoon, when
the last ship surrendered the Oregon
was pushed for all she was worth un-
der forced draught, and the fact that
she had high pressure Of steam at
the beginning gave her a good start,
which she kept,up. When the Colon
surrendered no other vessel except
the Brooklyn was in sight, and the
