OREGON SAFE AT LAST
SECRETARY LONG MAKES THE
WELCOME ANNOUNCEMENT.
Batt1eship Left San Francisco About
Seven Weeks Ago and Has Travelled
Over $4,000 Miles-Spanish Fleet to
Go to the Philippines.
Dons Didn't Get Her.

Washington special:
Secretary Long gave out the welcome
information Wednesday that the battle
ship Oregon, the second largest craft in
the American navy, had successfully COM
pleted her long trip from San francisco,
making the entire circuit of South Ameri-
ca, and was safe. The rigid secrecy of
the navy department was relaxed only
enough to make known the best news the
navy department had received since the
battle of Manila, as it meant not only
the Oregon was out of harms way from
a concerted attack on this one ship by the
whole Spanish squadron in southern
waters, but also that her great fighting
strength would be added to Admiral
SIMPSONS force.
The Oregon left San Francisco before
the war had opened, and at that time 1t
was not admitted that she was to join the
ships in Atlantic waters. She stopped at
Callao for dispatches and then went
round the Horn and up the east coast
of South America. In all the trip COW
cred 1900 miles. The last stretch, from
Bahia to the Windward islands, was fol-
lowed with anxiety by naval officers, for,
by a strange coincidence, the formidable
Spanish squadron Of armored cruisers and
torpedo boats approached the Windward
islands at the very time when the Oregon
was due there. 1t had been suspected that
the Spanish admiral would try to inter
cept the battleship with his superior force,
and before leaving Bahia Capt. Clark of
the Oregon was warned to keep a close
lookout for the Spanish feet. In reply

$4,000 MEN READY.
Great Volunteer Army Mustered in
for the Cuban War.

Washington special:
Nearly the whole of the $1,000 volun-
teers have now been mustered in. There
will yet be slight delay in filling out some
of the quotas, but the great volunteer
army is substantially complete.
The army is not yet in condition for an
immediate forward movement however.
Not all of the volunteers intended for the
invading army have gotten as far as
Chickamauga, and fewer have arrived at
Tampa. The war managers have found
the ma tional guards woefully deficient in
arms, ammunition, uniforms and other
equipments, and artillery batteries are
reported without guns, carria ges, horses
or harness. The war department is bend
ing all its energies to remedying these de
ficiencies, but it takes time. 1t has es-
tablish a supply depot at Chickamau-
ga, and will probably have another at
Washington.
The war department finds the country
is short on the modern arms adopted by
the regular army. It finds difficulty also
in getting rations promptly because OF
the unexpected emergency. Some Of the
Chicago packers even went so far as TO
reimport cargoes Of provisions that mad
been sent to England. In foreign coun-
tries, where large standing armies are to
be counted on all the time, there is am
ple provision for meeting the demands OF
the soldiers.
There is tendency to criticize the
President and the war department for the
s!owness with which the volunteer army
is being organized, but neither of them is
to blame. The President will insist ON
having the raw recruits properly equip
ped organized into brigades, divisions and
corps before ordering a movement on
Cuba. Military men say this may take
two or three weeks, but the government
is applying Yankee energy to push the
work as rapidly as possible. This frank
statement Of the unsa tisfactory condl-
ton in which the national guard has been
found must not be taken as reflection
on the patriotic militiamen. They have
given their time and money to the ser
vice and are now offering their lives, and

CYCLONES KILL SEVENTY.
Wrought in Illinois, Iowa
and Wisconsin.

Cyclones which whirled over vast tracts
in Iowa, Illinois and Wisconsin early
Monday evening killed, it is now reported,
about seventy persons. The names of all
of them could not be ascertamed, as IN
every instance the damage was wrought
in farming or village districts and tele-
phone and telegraph connection in the
afflicted sections was badly broken. The
list of those injured will never be conn
plete, only few of the more serious cases
being reported by name. A careful estl-
mate fixes the number injured at about
$50.
Such havoc was wrought upon farm
buildings, out of door stocks and orchards
and upon live stock that the money loss,
in wide belts Of territory, in several cases
clear across counties, will reach hundreds
of thousands of dollars The damage was
so great and widespread and means of
communication so interrupted that it will
be some time before accurate estimates
can be made.

Advices from Manila by way of Hong

is reported that party Of rebels attacked
the Americans near Cavite, killing some
Of them and driving the others out Of the
villages. They removed the American
flag and replaced it with the Spanish. Ac-
cording to report the insurgent leaders
who accompanied Admiral Dewey refus-

they would be repudiated. Another re-
port says that some Spanards processing

Information has been received at Key
West from Genfuegos giving graphicac-
count of the excitement in that city when
the encounter occurred between Spanish
soldiers on shore and the cable-cutting
expedition which resulted in the death Of
two and the wounding Of five Americans.
The Cuban city was panic stricken, the
church bells were rung and the alarms
were sounded on all sides. At the Hotel
Sieryo de Gro there was a riot and fight
between Spanish volunteers, who refused
to serve on patrol duty for the defense of
the city, and the Spanish authorities,
who were trying to force them to serve.

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

navy department continued to feel that

the American battleship on such unequal
terms was far from desiru BILE. and might

SAFE AT SANTIAGO.
ARMADA EvADES SAMPSON AND
REACHES PORT.
Madrid Report Says Spanish ships
Have Reached Harbor on South Coast
of Cuba-Admira1 Sampson Joins
Schley and His Flying Squadron.
Now for a Battle.

A report Friday from Santiago de Cuba
by the way of Madrid said that the Span
ish fleet has reached that port in safety.
While this news might have been given
out for the purpose of confusing, 1t agreed
with another dispatch from Kingston,
jamaica, stating that fleet of warshlps
had been seen from Morant Point, on the
east extremity Of the island, passing north
toward Santiago de Cuba.
Cervera could have but two purposes in
putting into Santiago de Cuba. The first
would be to get coal, of which Spain may
have supply there. The second, to re-
lieve the Spanish garrison Of lO,OOO
troops stationed there, who have been
practically cut off from Blanco and from
all supplies since the blockade of Cienfue-
COS. These troops were dependent ON the
coasting feet for their supplies, as there
is 10 railroad connection between Sanu-
ago and Havana, and the country be
tween is held by the insurgents. 1t would
be a natural move of TIE Spanish admiral
to try to relieve this garrison and supply
it, or remove the troops, if be considered
that could be done without meeting the
American fleet, for there has been no
blockade at Santiago.

setts, second-clas battleship Texas and

which makes him superior by two armor-
clads to the Spanish fleet.

SPANISH CABINET QUITS.
Members of the Sagasta Ministry All
Resign.


Resign.
All the members Of the Spanish cabinet
have resigned. The liberal cabinet I'M
der Sagasta was formed shortly after the
death Of Canovas Del Castillo, who was
assassinated Aug. s, 1897, by an Italian
anarchist named Coli. Gen. Azcarraga,
the then. minister of war, was fist APP
pointed president of the council and for
a time the cabinet remained unchanged.
But Sept 20 it resigned and Sagasta as
sumed Office Oct. 4, confronted by the
troubles in Cuba and in the Philippine
Islands.
The minister of marine, Admiral Ber-
mejo; the minister of war, Gen. Correa,
and especially the minister for the colo
MES were repeatedly attacked in parlia-
ment and out Of it and rumOrs Of reSigna-
tions rendered or to be rendered were in
dustriously circulated. The difficulty, it
appears, is to find men who are willing
to assume office under the conditions
which now prevail in Spain. An empty
treasury, internal disorders and the loss
of the Philippine Islands, Cuba and Porto
Rico are not the only problems confront
ing Spanish ministers, and it is not as
tonishing that under the circumstances a
military dictatorship under possibly Mar
shall Martinez Campos has been discussed.
The new Spanish cabinet has been form
ed as follows:
