Battleship Oregon Safe.
Special Dispatch to The Sun.

! Special Dispatch to THEsuN.
JUPITER, Fla, May 25,-The United
States battleship Oregon sailed away from
this port today.
: WASHINGTON, May 25.-No direct news
has come from the commander OF the
Oregon to the Navy Department, al
though it is officially announced that the
battleship was at Jupiter Inlet, Florida
The sighting of the war vessel was
brought about in peculiar way, and
credit is due to the coast signal service
for reporting the first news of her ar
rival.
The coast signal service, in charge OF
Captain Bartlett, has $50 men patroIIing
the beach along the Florida coast on the
lookout for hostile vessels. The men at
Jupiter Inlet first noticed strange look
ing vessel off the coast, and, by means of
night signals, got in communication with
the mysterious vessel Finally, the
torches on the shore attracted the atten-
ton of the vessel, and as she came nearer
she ran up the signal thst she was the
Oregon.
The news was at once sent to Wash
ington, and, in this way, reported to
Secretary Long. The coast signaImen
have been talking bv means OF signal
torches and lights with the Oregon, and
have reports that all are well, but no in
formation as TO her probable course.
The Oregon arrived off Jupiter late last
night. The landing Of party of marines
and a United States naval officer from
the three war vessels which anchored
well out in the water was the occasion of
much excitement among the small party
OF belated watchers at the landing. The
officer was Lieutenant Austin r. Davis
OF the Oregon, and it was that ship, with
her companions, the Marietta and the
Buffalo, which stood out to sea.

WASHINGTON May 25.-The Presden
has issued another call for $1,000 voun

Cuba. 1t was announced at the Wal
Department as soon as the proclamation
was made public that an expedition o
10000 troops will be sent at once to SEIZE
and occupy San Juan and the island o
Porto Rico
Further than this, Admiral Sampson
has been ordered to take his feet to San
Juan and prepare the way for the arrival
of the troops. In other words, he is to
destroy the notifications, SO that our
army can land and occupy the island. This
means that the Administration is salts.
fed that Commodore Schley has Admiral
Cervera and his Spanish fleet at his
mercy and is fully able to take care OF
them.
The invasion of Cuba will likewise be
started Immediately, and 100000 men
will in all probability be the strength of
the invading ARM. Reports at the War
Department show that there are $4,000
Spanish troops at Porto Rico. 1t is an
nounced at the Navy Department that
the Oregon will be used TO convey the
troops to Porto Rico, and that they will
start just as soon as they can be made
ready.
The troops for Manila are already on
the sea and others will follow them in
quick succession. Having the Spanish
fleet at our mercy the President is deter
mined to at once occupy the Spanish is
lands and wage war in earnest.

TRENTON, May 25.-Colonel Ezekiel T..
Cooper, who is now serving his sentence
OF eighteen months here for misappying
5000 of the First National Bank Of
Dover and appropriating the same to his
own use, has not yet been assigned to
any work, but the possibilities are that
he will be given some clerical duties
about the penitentiary. as he is a good
penman and is well acquainted with the
methods Of bookkeeping.
Yesterday he was subjected to the
same treatment as all other prisoners
hair cropped close and cleanly shaved,
he losing his luxurious moustache by the
latter operation. He was then relieved of
the clothing which he wore when he
came here and donned the regular prison
garb He was then given a number by
which he will be known while incarcer-
ated at the State prison, but this. could
not be asceltained. The colonel is very
tractable, takes his imprisonment philo-
sophically, although he is embittered
against W. n. Boggs, and will no doubt
be allowed the regular Communication off
his sentence OF about three months.

WILLIAM R. DAY,
Secretary of State.
Secretary Alger said this afternoon
that the additional volunteers called for
will not be recruited from the National
Guard, as were the first 125, ,0C0, but that
the enlistments will be open. The regu-
lations referred to in the proclamation
under which the enlistments will be con-
Quoted have not yet been prepared, and
it is thought that there is no occasion
for hurry in this matter until the full
draft called for in the first proclamation
has been secured. 1t il further stated
that the decision to issue an additional
call for volunteers was not reached until
the Cabinet meeting yesterday afternoon.
The call, it is supposed here, indicates a
determination to press the campaign
actively and vigorously from now on.

/ MIDDLETowN, May 25.-The soldier
boys of Camp Ebe W. Tunnel are fret
ting under the enforced restraint placed
upon them by the government and are
more than anxious to go to the front.
! They plainly showed the effects of the
restraint today when they learned that
the President had issued his second call
for volunteers and their ardor to be on
the move is shown in every respect.
They are tired of being here and any
order from Uncle Sam to move towards
the front will be received with shouts of
Joy.
A new order of things went into effect
today, the officers being required
to provide their own food and have it
cooked.
The captain and two lieutenants of
each company have their cooking done
in the rear of the captains tent. each set
of officers having their own cook. Nearly
all OF the company commanders have re-
| ceived Buzzacott ovens, each one of
which is complete cooking outfit and
can be folded up so as to occupy small
space and be conveniently carried from
place to place.
No government provision is made for
the officers mess, and they are required
to furnish everything-food and cooking
apparatus and pay all incidental ex-
penses The everage cost of the ovens,
together with the freight from Chicago,
is about s.. This IS for the size generally
in use while the officers of Co. A, have
purchased much larger and more ex-
pensive one.
William L. Ward, OF Wilmington, has
E>en selected by the officers of Co. C as
cook, and Edward King, ccored, of
Middletown, has been selected bv the
officers Of Go. I.
The privates must also provide their
cooks from their own ranks, but all of
the food is furnished by the government.
Enlisted III G Co. are two regular army
field cooks, who are very proficient, and
their comrades are pleased with their
management of the kitchen affairs.
The troops will have been here just
one month today, having pitched
their tents on April 26th, and the pro-
grcss which has been made is gratifying
to the Federal and State officers, as we'll
as the people.
A tirst.ciass l2-company regiment has
been built up from very snail nucleus,
consisting only of those who volunteered
out of the National Guard.
While it is not known Just what the
expense has been to the state, it is said
that the $50, 900 appropriated will about
cover everything. The money has
been well ant, judiciously spent.
Many of the men are making inquiry
about their pay, having received none
since their arrival. Just what is the
cause Of the delay cannot be ascerained,
as the money has been available for
some time.
The Loard of officers, together with
Lieutenant Gordon, met in Dover yes
terday, and it is understood this matter
was considered. All of the members
were not present, however. and another
meeting will be held tomorrow. 1t is be-
|ieved that the men will receive their
pay in day or two.
