The Effect of Conclusion From the

Lieut.. w. Fl. Harrison of Wash

battleship Oregon when she made
the 15000-mile trip around the
Horn, is in the naval hospital in
Brooklyn with his hearing destroy
ed.
At the first bombardment of
Santiago, Lieut.. Harrison was in
charge Of the after 13-inch gun
turret on the Oregon. An S-inch
she'll was fired directly over his
head and the conclusion was so
great that the drum of the left ear
was broken and his right ear in
jured. He has long furlough
and has made arrangements to
undergo course of treatment.

|rison. sis the bull dog Of the.
American navy We fellows who
were on her on the trip around the
horn had no idea that the whole
country thought we would be
slaughtered by the Spaniards.
Why, we would have given the
whole Of Cervera's fleet a great
tussle.
I'VE worked hard at the chase
of Cervera's fleet. The Oregon
simply went by the Spaniard's
peppering every vessel with shells,
until she got up to the Colon,
which was in the lead. In that
running battle the Oregon made 1G

CAPE HNTGEN, Republic Of Haiti,
May 16.--The United States torpedo.
boat Porter and the storeship supply,
which have been here waiting orders,
have sailed to join Admiral Simpsons
squadron.
The squadron passed Cape Haitian,
Sunday. 1t is uncertain whether it
will turn southwark to meet the Span
ish fleet or go first to Key West.
CURACOA, May 16. - The Spanish
cruisers Maria Teresa, Vizcaya, Almi-
rante Oquendo and Cristobal Colon and
torpedoboat destroyers Pluton and Ter
ror, which arrived off the harbor Sat.
urday morning, were still here Sunday.
Only the Maria Teresa and the Viz.
caya were admitted to the port. They
bought coal, provisions and medicines
The other warships were OUTSIDE wait
ing.
KEY VETS, May 18.-It is apparent
that an important strategic movement
is being planned. Commodore Watson
arrived on the gunboat Dolphin from
the blockading feet off Havana. Or.
ders came thick and fast from Wash.
ington, and the naval station authorities
were instructed to make quick prepara-
tions to coal the big ships. 1t is thought
that there will be no occasion to begin
coaling before tomorrow or Wednesday.
The ships already in the harbor have
been ordered to get up steam without
delay, but the officers say they are
ignorant of what this may indicate.
The announcement from the north of
the coming Of the flying squadron
strengthens the theory held here that
united movement of some kind is con-
templated, The chief factor in the
situation is the whereabouts of the
| Spanish fleet, understood to be off the
Venezuelan coast. 1t is conceded by
naval men that were Corvera's squadron
| to meet the detached blockading squad
ron off Cuba while SIMPSONS ships
were coaling here, a disastrous blow
might be inflicted and it is believed the
| plan now under consideration is to oh.
viate any such possibility.
Extraordinary precautions are being
| taken for the protection of Key West
| harbor, although the rumor lately cir
culated here that the Spanish fleet is
| heading this way is secuted by the
| officials.
WASHINGTON, May 1G.-In one respect
the muneuver of the Spanish fleet is a
relief to naval officers here as it seems
to assure the safety Of the battleship
Oregon. She is proceeding from the.
north coast of South America to join
Admiral Sampson's fleet, and is some
where in the neghborhood of Martinique.
Had the Spanish squadron remained at
that point there would have been seri-
Gus danger that the Oregon would be
intercepted. Now, however, she is well
out Of the way Of the Spaniards, so long
as she follows the usual routes.
PUERTO PLATA, Dominican Republic,
May 15.-Al of the wounded of the
United States fleet are doing well.
There has been no firing by our war
ships since the bombardment of the
forts at San Suan de Porto Rico The
cable connecting San Juan de Porto
Rico with the outside world has been
cut at st. Louis.
The Spanish torpedo gunboat Terror
is being docked at Fort de France,
island of Martinique.
