Late in the day, Secretary Long join

session for some hours, to participate
in the decision of its plans, which are
believed to have been modified by the
news received from the Oregon.
The cruiser Charleston. which start

Admiral Dewey at Manila, should ar
rive there in about a days, allowing 4
couple OF days At Honolulu for coal.

Admiral DeWey's cablegrams show
that he is able to maintain the ground
he has gained under achievements ar
irving in the usual course, 50 that the
Charleston will get there in time TO
serve his purpose.
The stock of ammunition which the
Charleston carries is believed TO be the
great essential just now. the fierce en-
gagement at Cavite having consumed
shot and shell.
Some little disappointment is felt at
the navy department at the singular
accident that happened to the revenue
cutter Gresham. when one section of
the ship was thrown into the st. Law
renee.
1t is said that the treasury depart
ment is responsible for the delivery of
the ship to the navy. in blue water

GENERAL WAR SITUATION.

Washington, May 1S.-Secretary Long
gave out the welcome information, to-
day, that the battleShip Oregon, the
second largest craft in the American
navy, had successfully completed her
long trip from san Francisco, making
the entire circuit 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 depart
ment was relaxed only enough to make
known the best news the navy depart
mcnt had received since the battle of
Manila, as it meant not only that the
Oregon was out Of harms way from
concerted attack by The whole Spanish
squadron now in Southern waters, bur
also that her great fighting strength
would be added to Admiral SIMPSONS
force in the near future. ii indeed ii
had not already augmented the add
mirai's strength.
The Oregon left San Francisco about
six weeks ago, before the war had
opened, and at that time it was not
admitted that she was to join the ships
in Atlantic waters. She stopped at
Callao fer dispatches and then went
around the Horn and then up the east
coast of South America. In all the trip
covered more than 1900 miles.
The last stretch from Bahia to the
Windwald Islands has been followed
with anxiety by naval officials, for by
a strange coincidence the formidable
Spanish squadron Of armored cruisers
and torpedo boats approached the
Windward Islands at the very time the
Oregon was due there.
1t had been suspected that the Span
ISL admiral would try to intercept the
battleship with his superior force, and
before leaving Bahia, Capt. Clark of
the Oregon was warned to keep q close
lookout for the Spanish fleet. In reply
Capt. Clark expressed his confidence in
being able to hold his own, single
handed, with the oregon. against all
the Spanish cruisers.
The only apprehension he felt was as
to the torpedo boats. under the Span
ish admirars command for these are a
new and practically unknown means
against the modern battleship, and
Capt. Clark, while confident of holding
out against these also, said a chance
blow might be struck by them.
Notwithstanding Capt. Clarl's as
surances. the navy department contin-
ued to feel that a meeting between the
Spanish squadron and the American
battleship on such unequal terms was
far from desirable and might bring |
most serious results.
For this reason official information
reaching the authorities, today, was a
source of most hearty congratulations.
Where the report came from was not
made known, but the mere fact that
Secretary Long regards the Oregon as
safe makes it evident that she has
passed we'll to the northward of the
Windward Islands.
Aside from this bit of information,
Secretary Long said at the close OF /
office hours that there was no news to
be given out.
During the day the bureau of navi-
cation issued a bulletin summarizing |
Commander McCalla's official report
on the recent engagement at Cienfue-
COS and adding some minor features on |

annexation.
"By what authority do you say
that ?" queried Gaines (D.) of
Tennessee.
"By the newspaper now in your
hand, which says Oxnard, repre-
senting the trust, is here, and as
serts the resolutions will pass the
House but the Senate will adjourn
before they can get through
there"
"He ought to be kicked out OF
town." declared the TenDesseean.
"Tbat's right" replied the New
Yorker.
"And if he comes talking
around I'll kick him out" assert
ed the member from Tennessee,
with rising indignation.
Williams (D) of Mississippi
concluded the debate for the OPP
position. He devoted much of
his time to an attack upon the
method annexation embodied In
the resolutions. He insisted upon
its unconstitutionality.
Hepburn (R.) of Iowa was
recognized to conclude in support
of the resolutions. Answering the
claim that annexation would mean
launching upon colonization, he
disavowed any such understand
ing. He said he hoped to see
every Spanish possession fall into
the possession of this country in
order to contribute to the enemy's
injury and that being accomplish
ed the question of their disposi-
ton would arise and be met when
the war should end.
Prior to announcing the vote,

Mr.. Reed, was presiding, said
"The Speaker of the House is alb

am requested by him to say that

The announcement was ap.
plauded by the opposition to an
nexation. Dslzell then announced

A Beautiful Home Wedding.

Last Wednesday afternoon, at half
past twelve o'clock, pretty home
wedding was solemnized in this city, the
contracting parties being Miss Mamie
Barr, of this place, and MIR. John VOL
fenden, Of Evinston, Fla. The house
was tastefully decorated with holly
and mistlctoe, the parlOr especially
being beautiful. The soft radiance Of
the many candles made more effective
the glossy leaves and red berries of the
holly and the white waxen ones of the
mistletoc. There was hush of expec-
fancy when AIendclssohn's Wedding
March began, rendered very express
sively on the piano by Miss Lille
Brown. The bridal purity entered in
the following order: First, two little
maidens, Lila Brownlee ande Leila
Barr bearing the ring upon silver
tray. followed by the groom witt, his
best man, MIR. Paul l.. Barr. Lastly
came the bride leaning upon the arm
of her sister, Miss Daisy Barr. The
bridal party formed semi-circle be-
fore a pyramid composed Of palms,
ferns and ivy and directly under
largo bough of mistlctoe, suspended
by broad, white ribbons from the cen
ter of canopy Of ropes of evergreens
intcrspersed with chrysnntlemums
The ceremony was performed by the
Rev. j. N. III. Summerell.
The bride was gownetl in Il handsome
snit of military blue tattcta silk, elabo-
rutcly trimmed in black velvet ribbon
and heavy cream lace. The bouquet
she carried was composed of large pink
roses and maiden hair ferns.
The maid of honor was attired in n
handsome street costume of tan cOvet
cloth, With trimmings Of green taffeta
and velvet, and carried bouquet Of
pink roses.
After the ceremony the bridal party
left the pallOr to the closing strains of
the wedding march. An nclegant lunch

and Licze Sharpe being the fair wait
