NOW IT'S THE OREGON.
officers of the ST. Louis Place Credit
of the Last Naval Battle.

Portsmouth, N H, July 1.-THE few
officers who came in on the St. Louis
and who had participated in the fight
with the Spanish cruisers off Santiago,
were obliged to tell the whole story of
the memorable contest. While in the
main their accounts did not differ ma
terially from the press dispatches, yet
they seem to give credit to the work of
the Oregon.
From an account, as given by one Of
fcer, it appears that on the morning
of the fight four American warships
lay of the entrance to the harbor. The
Oregon was slightly to the east; then to
the westward came the converted yacht
gloucester, lying between the oregon
and Iowa. To the westward of the
Iowa was the Texas, while further
along, in fact, eight or ten miles to the
west of the harbOr, was the Brooklyn,
with Commodore Schley on board.
The position of the fleet was in keep
ing with the plan mapped out by Ad-
miral Sampson, and his command had
definite orders in case the Spanish fleet
made a dash out of the harbor. While
all the ships had steam up, none of
them, with the exception of the Brook
Ign, was under way. The latter had. n
few minutes previous to the sighting
of the Spaniards turned away to the
westward, and when the first shot was
fired from the Iowa she was going
away from the fleet at about an 8-knot
gait.
Just why the Brooklyn was steaming
off to the west at this time is not
Known, Out aILHOuSn she naQ not gone
far and was still probably quite near
the station designated by Admiral
Sampson, her commander nevertheless
had to swing round, and in doing so
he put his helm to Starboard and made
a long sweep to port, going a mile or
more off shore in the Vancouver. The
first Spaniard that came rushing out
of the harbOrs mouth was the Cristobal
Colon, with Admiral Cervera on board,
the Vizcaya was second, the Alnirante
Oquendo thirL and the Maria Teresa
the fourth, while two torpedo. boat
destroyers brought up the rear.
While the Iowa got in the first lick
at the fleet, as they came dashing by,
the Oregon was the first --merican out
side the Brooklyn in motion. She
gathered Roadway so fast that she cut
pumped a good 13-inch at the Colon
before she had gone y. The Oregon
was therefore n a most excellent posi-
ton to meet the Vizcaya when she came
along and with the help of the Texas,
tackled her so fiercely that she was on
fire in a few minutes and headed for
the beach.
While the OregOn's whole forward
starboard battery was banging at the
Vizcaya, the aft guns had swung around
and were pumping shells into the
Oquendo, which also had been tackled
by the Iowa, which in the meantime
