The first news of the Oregon's ar

at almost noon there loomed up a gray
hulk on the horizon there was a great
WigWagging from ship to ship. Ma

and showed that she carried "a bone
in her teeth" as she piled up the white
water on each side of her bow.

the verdict as she raced in on the

watches held on her as she approached

to port from hastily filled bunkers that
there had been no time to trim since
dashing into Key West for fuel and
opt again. But her short stay there
spoke volumes for the mechanism of a
Pacific built ship, which could do a
13,OOO-mile run, throw in fresh coal
and steam out to what might be a
battle-ground without stopping to even
tighten a crankpin.
The dispatch boats lying outside the
squadron raised their flags as the Ore
gon bore down between them, while
her officers and men waved their
hands, and caps were silently lifted.
The big fighter slowed down to a ma
jestic pace, and then the noise arose.

Splicing the main brace" Is, or rath-
er used to be, serving an extra allow I.
ance Of grog to all hands on naval
vessel after an engagement, This expla-
nation is SO old that 1t will be news to
many in these days II things were as
they used to be how naturally It would
have happened that when the Nashville
had captured her prize and when every
heart aboard was aglow with the sue
cess, the boatswnin and his mates
should have pIped through the ship the
order, IAN hands for grog." AT the be-
ginning OF any other war In our history
"Grog Of" would have resounded
through the ship. But
They've raised his pay five cents day
And stopped his grog forever.
A notable event was the invention OF
"grog" in 17l6. According to a learned
article on the subject published In the
United States service by Admiral
Meade IN 1884, the honor Is due to Adj
mlral Vernon of the royal n9vE. In
bad weather 1t was his fashion to wear
on deck grogrom cloak, from which
he acquired among the men the sobri-
quet Of "old Grog." About the year
mentioned, while in command OF the
West Indian station, he originated
new and satisfactory official beverage
composed OF rum and water, the serV-
ing OF which began on his flagship, the
Burford, and thence spread. The bevo
erage was dubbed ''grog," and the word
has lived.
When our navy began It's illustrlous
career amid the Revolution liquor was,
Of course, as necessary a part OF the
supplies as sea biscuit and powder, and
we find Paul Jones on sailing from
Portsmouth. In l777, bewailing, among
other shortages, only thirty gallons OF
rum"
In 1881 Congress took an advanced
step by providing that all in the navy
who voluntarily relinquIshed the spirit
ration should be paid six cents day.
In 1912 the ration was cut down TO one
gill, but the alternative Of half pint
Of wine was added, and the commute
ton price was fixed at three cents.
The first year OF the civil war brought
greatly increased naval force, and In
creased trouble from strong drink. Nor
al sentiment had progressed. too. In
July, 1869, Congress revolutioniZed the
American navy by passing the historic
law providing:
"That from and after the first day of
September, 1862, the spirit ration In the
navy of the United States shall forever
cease. and thereafter no distilled spirit
uous liquor shall be admitted on board
OF vessels of war except as medical
stores, and Upon the order and under
the control OF the medical officers OF
such vessels and to be used only for
medical purposes. From and after the
first dag OF September next, there shall
be allowed and paid to each person In
the navy now entitled to the spirit ra-
ton, FIVE cents per day IN Communication
and in lieu thereof. which shall be in
addition to the present pay"
And since that day there has been
no "grog" in the United States navy

General Lee is to head the military
commission that will arrange all the de-
tails of the evacuation Of Cuba by the
Spanish army, and in all probability will
have full command of the American
forces there pending the settlement Of
all questions for the months to come. SO
far as Cuba is concerned and until
government is established General
Wade and Admiral schley will be the
other members of the commission. The
appointment OF these three distinguish
ed officers, who are to be charged With
an important responsibility. Will be
hailed with satisfaction by the public.
The President has found no difficulty
at all in selecting any OF the military
commissions. The material Is right at
hand. General Lee, whom some pard-
san critics were "afratd' the President
wasn't giving sufficient recognition,
doubtless finds himself in the position he
would have chosen for himself under the
circumstances. 1t is well understood
that the general was to have had charge
OF the Havana campaign had the war
continued, and upon him would have de-
volved the duty and the honor of cap
turing the city In conjunction with the
naval squadron, and in conducting the
western Cuba campaign, The wise plan
Of campaign which was adopted, how
ever, resulted In bringing Spain to
terms without the firing of a gun at
Havana, or the resor. to an assault
which would have Undoubtedly resulted
in the bloodlest engagement of the war,
adding to tho list OF Victims on both
sides, and the destruction of property.
