SIMPSONS SHARE IN 1T.

Chaplain Mcintyre of the Oregon Scores
the Commander of the Fleet.
DENVER, Aug. 1Q.-Chaplain J. P.
Mcintyre of the battleship Oregon, de-
ivered lecture here in which he de-
scribed the remarkable trip of the
Oregon from San Francisco to join
SIMPSONS feet and the part this bat
tleship took in the destruction of Ger.
vera feet. He spoke in most compli-
mentary terms of Captain Clark and
his fighting seamen. Chaplain McIn.
tyre gives the Oregon the bulk of the
credit for the humiliation of the Span
ish feet on July 4. He said.
Sampson wrote a report of the bat
tie and reported himself within four
miles of the Cristobal Colon when she
pulled down her flag. He did that to
get his share in the prize money, for a
ship must be within four miles to share
in the prize money. So Sampson will
get $4,000 of prize money, and Captain
CLARK, who fought the Oregon as never
man fought ship before, will get only
$500, and you, who had just exactly
as much to do with the battle as Samp.
son did, will not get cent?

CHARLESTON, s. C., July 10.-The steamship Rita, captured recently of Cuba by the Yale and purchased yester- day by the United States Government for SIPS. 900, sailed for Santiago this afternoon with $50 men of the S:Ath Illinois Regi- ment and their baggage. One battalion of the regiment sailed with the expedition under General Garretson on the Colum- bia- It was found that the Rita could not carry the remaining 800 men, so com panies D and M were left here. This divides the regiment badly.
 The embarkation at 6:30 o'clock was an inspiring sight. The men of the Six teenth Pennsylvania and Second and Third Wisconsin regiments were drawn up on neighboring pier heads, their regi- mental bands playing patriotic airs which were responded to by the band of the Illinois regiment on the steamer. It had been raining hard all day, but just as the Rita drew out Into the stream n perfect rainbow appeared spanning tho entrance to the harbor like a triumphal arch, under which the ship was sailing. The watching soldiers caught the signifl- canoe of the incident and cheer swept along the water front that could Dc heard all over the city.
 The Grand Duchess is expected off tho bar tonight to take a third expedition to Santiago tomorrow.

San Jose started the ball rolling In fifth, when on two doubles and two singles three men scored. In the eighth another was added on singles by Hanlon and Eagan aided by some scientific Juggling on the part of Santa Cruz. The Sand Crabs did not tally until two men were out in the ninth, when an error allowed them to put two men across the rubber. Iberg and Balsz were opposing twirlers and each pitched masterly game.
