of the Oregon. From an account, as
given by one officer, it appears that on
the morning of the fight four American
warships lay off the entrance to the
harbor. The Oregon was slightly to the
east; then to the westward came the
converted yacht Gloucester, lying be-
tween 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.
Had Definite Orders.
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
lyn, was under way. The latter had, a
few minutes previous to the sighting OF
the Spaniards, turned away to the west
ward and when the first shot was
heard from the Iowa she was going
away from the fleet at about an eight
knot gait.
Just why the Brooklyn was s.eamirg
off to the west NJ this time is not
known, but although she had not goae
far and was still probably quite rear
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 maneuver. The
first Spaniard that came rushing out of
the harbor's mouth was the Cristobal
Colon, with Admiral Cervera on board.
the vizcaya was second, the Almirante
Oquendo third and the Maria Teresa
the fourth, while two topedo boat de-
stroyers brought up the rear

Robert ingersors Dream of War.
The past rises before me Ike u
dream. Again we are in great
struggle for national life. We
hear the sounds of preparation
the music of boisterous drums
the silver voices OF heroic bugles.
We see thousands OF assemblages.
and hear the appeal oEorators; we
see the pale checks OF women and
the flushed faces of men, and in
those assemblages We see all the
dead whose dust we have covered
with flowers. We lose sight of
them no more. We are with them
no more. We are wi ith them when
they enlist in the great army of
freedom. We see them part with
those they love. some are walk
ING for the last line in quiet,
woody places, with the maidens
they adore. We hear the whisper
ings and the sweet VOWS ofeternal
love as they lingeringly part for
ever. Others are bending over
cradles, kissing babes that are
asleep. Some are receiving the
blessings OF old men. Some are
partlno with mothers who hold
them and press them to their hearts
again and again, and say nothing.
And some are talking with wives,
andenaeayoring with brave words,
spoken in the old tones, to drive
from their hearts the awful fear.
We see them part. We see the
wife standing in the door with the
babe in her arms-standing in the
sunlight sobbing-at the turn of
the road hand waves-she an
swers by holding high in her low
ing arms the child. He has gone,
and forever.
We see them all as they marci,
proudly away under the Haunting
flags, keeping time to the grand,
Wild music of war--marching
down the streets Of the great cities
through the towns andacrossthe
prairies-.d down to the fields Of glo-
~, to do and die for the eternal
right.
We 90 with them, one and ali.
We are by their size on all the
glory felds-in all thehospitals OF
pain-on all the weary marches.
We stand guard with them in the
wild storm and under the quiet
stars. We are VITA them in ra.
vines running with blood-in the
burrows of old fields. We are with
them between contending hosts
unable to move, wild with thirst
the life ebbing ngslowlyaway among
| the withered leaves. We see then
pierced by balls and torn with
shells, in the trenches, bv forts
andin the whlrldWlndoft The charge
where men become iron, witt
nerves Of steel. We are with them
in theprisons of hatredand famine
but human speech can never tel
what they endured. We are a
home when the news comes tina
they are dead. We see the maid
Ell the shadow of her first sorrow
We see the silvered head of th,
old man bowed with the last grief
These heroes are dead. The,
died for liberty--they died for us
They are at rest. they sleep il
