LONG RUN FOR BATTLE SHIPS.
The Iowa and Oregon TO Go Round
the Horn to San Francisco.

The Navy Department is shifting around
some of the officers on the battle ships Ore
gon and Iowa preparatory to their de-
parture from New York on their long
cruise to San Francisco by way of the
Straits Of Magellan. The department has
just selected from among the fleet of col
liers acquired during the war four of the
best and largest to accompany the battle
ships on their long run. These are the Cas-
siuS, the Scindia, the Alexander and the
Abefendia, and their coal capacity is sufli-
cient to insure a full supply for the big
battle ships, as we'll as for themselves
without subjecting the fleet to the refusal
of any OF the South American republics to
take on coal on account of the technical
existence of the state of war between the
United States and Spain. No attempt is
to be made to drive the big ships so as to
equal the famous run of the Oregon coming
eastward, the need for the ships on the
racine side not being so pressing as to
warrant running the risk of injuring the
boilers or machinery by keeping up full
speed. 1t is expected that the battle ships
with their colliers will be able to start
from New York about the end of this
month and If they reach San Francisco by
