An immense procession was formed
and a march was made to the eXecu-
tive building.
President Dole was at his beach home
when the steamer was sighted. He hur-
ried into town and reached the wharf
as the steamer tied up. Captain Sealby,

His Share in the Great
Battle
United states Steamship oregon, off

United States Steamship Oregon, off
Santiago de Cuba, July 4, 1898.
Sir: ] have the honor TO report that,
at $3.50 a. m, yesterday the Spanish
fleet was discovered standing out of
the harbor of Santiago de Cuba. They
turned to the westward and opened
fire, to which our ships replied vigor-
ously. For short time there was an
almost continuous flight Of projecties
over this ship, but when our line was
fairly engaged, and the Iowa had. made
swift advance as If to ram or close,
the encmy's fire became defective in
train as well as range. The ship was
only struck three times, and at least
two of them We're by fragments Of
shells We had no casualties.
As soon as 1t was evident that the
enemy's ships We're trying to break
through and escape to the westward
we went ahead at fun speed with the
determination of carrying out to the
utmost, your order: IF the enemy
tries to escape the ships must close
and engage as soon as possible and en-
deavor to sink his vessels or force them
to run ashore" We soon passed all Of
our ships except the Brooklyn, bearing
the broad pendant of Commodore
Schley At first we only used our main
battery, but when 1t was discovered
that the enemys torpedo boats were

Captain United states Navy
FIGHTING BOB EVANS
Tells How His Sturdy Fighters Became as
Gentle as Women After the
Victory.

The report Of Captain Robley B.
Evans gives the story of the part his
vessel, the Iowa, took in the battle.
Captain Evans describes the approach
OF the Spanish fleet from the harbor,
and the destruction of the torpedo boat
destroyers by his vessel and the Gluu-
cester, and the work done by the Iowa
against the Maria Teresa, Vizcaya and
Almirante Oquendo. lie describes the
damage done to his ship by Spanish
shells, declaring it trihing, and pro-
ceeds:
At II o'clock the Iowa arrived in the
vicinity of the Vizcaya, which had been
run ashore, and as it was evident that
she could not catch the Cristobal Colon
and that the Oregon, Brooklyn and
New York would, two steam cutters
and three cutters We're Immediately
hoisted out and sent to the Vizcaya to
rescue her crew. Our boats succeeded
in bringing off a large number of Of
ficers and men Of that ships company,
and in placing many of them on board
the torpedo boat Ericsson and the
auxiliary dispatch vessel Hist.
There are no casualties among the
ships company to report No officer
nor men were injured during the en-
gagement.
After having received on board the
rescued crew of the Vizcaya this vessel
proceeded to the eastward and resumed
the blockadng station, in obedience
to the signal made by the commander
in-chief about 1880.
We received on board this vessel Cap.
tain Eulate, the commanding officer,
and 23 officers, together with about 24s
petty officers and men, of whom 80
were wounded. There We're also re-
ceived on board FIVE dead bodies, which
were Immediately buried with the
honors due to their grade.
The battery behaved well in all re-
spects.
The following is an approximate
statement Of the ammunition expended
during the engagement. A more ex-
act statement cannot be given at this
! time: 81 u inch semi-A. =. shells, with
! fun charges; 30 eight inch common
shell, with fun charges; Pol four inch

Pinole, Cal, July 2S.-At 1880 in the
morning an explosion took place in the
ro-elycerine house of the Hercules
Powder company. No one was in the
building at the time. Later a crew
was sent to clear away the debris and
eXtinguish the flames, and at 4:15 a
second terrific explosion took place,
killing four men and fatally injuring
many others. The dead are j. Pal
veraZ Herbert Strattop, Patrick Muir
ply and John Ashe. 1t is believed that
three of the injured will die. Some un-
known mscreant caused the first ex-
plosion. This fact has been definitely
established by the finding of a piece
of fuse, five feet long, under the mix
ing house.

following their ships we used our rapid
fire guns, as well as the 49," upon them
with telling effect AS we ranged up
near the stcrnmost of their ships she
headed for the beach, evidently on fire.
We raked her as we passed, pushing
on for the next ahead, using our star
board guns as they were brought to
bear, and before we had her fairly
abeam she too was making for the
beach The two remaining vessels were
now some distance ahead but our speed
had increased to 1G knots and our fire.
added to that of the Brooklyn, soon
sent another, the Vi2caya, to the shore
in flames. only the Cristobal Colon was
left, and for a time it seemed as if she
might escape, but when we opened
with our forward turret guns and the
Brooklyn followed she began to edge
in towards the coast, and her capture
or destruction was assured. As she
struck the beach her flag came down
and the Brooklyn signaled cease
firing" following it with "Congratu-
lations for the grand victory; thanks
for your splendid assistance"
The Brooklyn sent boat to her, and
when the admiral came up, with the
New York and Texas, and Vixen, she
was taken possession of. A prize crew
was put on board from this ship under
Lieutenant Commander CoEswell, the
executive officer, but before II p. m,
the ship, which had been filling in
spite Of all efforts TO stop leaks, was
abandoned, and Just as the crew left
she went over on her side.
l cannot speak in too high terms of
the bearing and conduct of all on
board this ship. When they found the
oregon had pushed to the front, and
was hurryinE to a succession Of con-
flicts with the enemy's vessels If they
could be overtaken, and would engage,
their enthusiasm was intense.
AS these vessels were so much more
they might have concentrated upon and
overpowered her, and consequently I
am persuaded that, but for the way the
officers and men of the oregon steamed
and steered the ship and fought and
supplied the batteries, the Colon and
perhaps the Nizcaya would have es-
capped. Therefore ] feel that they rem
dered meritorious service to the coun-
try, and while l cannot mention the
name Of each officer and man indi-
vidually ! am going to append list OF
the officers, with the stations that they
occupied hoping that they may be OF
service to them should the claims OF
others for advancement above them
ever be considered.

1Ioistrd the spanish ?lng.

Wiliesbarre, Pa, July 2S.-Some time
during Tuesday night or early yester-
day morning the large American flag
over the public school house in Han
over township was removed from the
pole and a Spanish flag, feet long and
feet wide, substituted. When the resi-
dents of the township awoke and saw
the outrage that had been perpetrated
their Indignation knew no bounds. A
large crowd soon collected and four
men climbed to the cupola and tore
down the Spanish emblem. The Ameri-
can flag was again raised and the
Spanish flag was torn to pieces and
trampled upon.

Threatened Strike Improbable.

Altoona, Pa, July 2S.-At the coal
miners convention held here recently
it was announced that a demand for an
increase of wages would be made July
20, and that a strike would be i'm
mediately inaugurated at every mine
from which a favorable answer had
not been received by July 2S. Contrary
to expectation, no formal demand was
made upon the operators in this dis
trict at the time mentioned and con-
sequently the operators made no public
declaration on the subject, although it
was known all were determined to re-
fuse an increase. The threatened strike
is not likely to go into effect, as moth
ing has lately been heard about it.

enemy showed his flag they fought
like Americans, but when the flag came
down they were as gentle and tender
as American women. Very respectfully,
