Fla, June 2.-The United States battle
ship Oregon Joined the fleet this morning,

cruise in the history of modern ironclads.

The dispatch boats lying outside the

The big fighter slowed down to majestic
pace and then the noise arose. Rank

yells which came over half mile against

them back with interest. Then the ships,
