the Commander of the Fleet.
DENVER, Aug. 10. Chaplain J. p.
Mcintyre of the battleship Oregon, de-
ivered lecture here in which he de-
soribed the remarkable trip Of the
Oregon from San Francisco to join
Simpsons fleet and the part this bat
tleship took in the destruction of Ger
vera fleet. 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 fleet on July A. 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
