OREGON, which did such remarkable work
al the naval battle that resulted In the de-
struction of Admiral Cervera's squadron,
says In his official report OF the engagement
10 Rear Admiral Sampson:
THE Spanish feet turned 70 the west
ward and opened fire, to which our ships
replied vigorously. For a short time there
was an almost continual flight OF project

fairly engaged the enemy's fire became de-
fective AS soon as it was evident that the
enemy's ships were trying to break through
and escape 10 the westward, We went aheadd
at full speed with the determination OF
carving out TO the utmost your instruc-
tons:
II the enemy tries to escape. the ships
must close and engage him as soon as pos
s!ble and endeavor 10 sink has vessels or
force them to run ashore.
I'VE soon passed all Of our vessels except
the Brooklyn. At the first we used only
the main battery, but when IL was dtscov-
cred that the enemy's torpedo boats were

two remaining vessels were now some dis
lance ahead. but our speed had Increased
to sixteen knots. and the Nizcaya was soon
sent to the shore in flames.
Only the Crisiobal Colon was left. and
for a time 1t seemed as if she might escape.
But when We opened with our forward tur-
ret guns and the Brooklyn followed. the
Colon began TO edge in toward the coast
and her destruction was assured. As she
struck the beach her flag Went down.
The Brooklyn sent a boat~to her. and
when the admiral caught UP with the New
York Texas and Vixen. the Cristobal Colen
was taken possession of.
Il cannot speak in TOO high praise OF the
bearing and conduct of all on board this
ship. When they found the Oregon had
rushed to the front and was hurrying 10
a succession of conflicts with the enemys
vessels, II they could De overtaken and

As these Spanish vessels Were much more
heavily armored than the Brooklyn, they
might have concentrated upon and over

Consequently I am persuaded that but
for the officers and men OF the oregon. who
steamed and steered the ship and fought
and supplied her batteries, the Colon aud
perhaps the Hizcaya would have escaped"

a Captured Spanish steamer Being
Used to Transport Them.

CHARLESTON, s. c., July o.-The
steamship Rita. captured recently of Cuba
and purchased yesterday by the United
States government for $4,000. sailed for
Santiago this afternoon with the men of
the Sixth Illinois regiment and their bag
gage. One battalion Of the regiment sailed
with the expedition under Gen. Garretson
on the Columbia. 1t was found that the
Rita could not carry the remaining $40
men, so several companies were left here.
This divides the regiment badly.
The emharkat.on was an inspiring sight.
The men OF the Sixteenth Pennsylvania,
the Second and Third Wisconsin regiments
were drawn up OH neighboring pier heads,
their regimentai bands playing patriotic
airs. which were responded to by the band
OF the Illinois regiment on the steamer. As
the Rita drew ont into the stream a cheer
swept along the water front that could be
heard ali over the city.
The Grand Duchess is off the bar tonight
to take a third expedition to Santiago to-
morrow.

duction of the tribunal to three instead of
FIVE members This, the committee. report
ed would result in a material reduction of
expenses The convention did not act on the
report.
William d. Kennedy, recorder of the SUI
preme tribunal, reported that the court had
made permanent the injunction preventing
Supreme Keeper of Records and Seal White
from drawing. an order in the sum Of 500
for postage and wrappers. This was on the
ground that the resolution directing the ex-
penditure was not proper appropriation
statute
Representatives Carter Reeves and Kline,
of the committee on judiciary. reported fav-
orabiy on the proposition to establish
supreme assembly of the Uniform Rank
which shall meet at the same time and
place as the Supreme Lodge conventions.
This is intended as matter of economy.
Last April the board of control of the
Endowment Rank issued a circular to the
effect that endowment certificates would be
declared forfeited in all cases of enlistment
in the army or navy. This was deprecated
as unpatriotic and yesterday there was a
proposition to strike from the laws The
clause prohibiting military service in army
or navy in time of war. The resolution went
further and provided that in case any GER
tificates had been so forfeited they should
be revived.
The credentials of p. G. c. Barry. Of Wis
consin, were finally approved and he and
A. H. Davis, Of Indian Territory, were yes
terday afternoon admitted and the Supreme
Lodge rank conferred upon them.
Now that the election is over many repre-
sentatives are hurrying away to their
homes Representative Webb. of North
Carolina. and Representative Butterfield. of
Ohio, were yesterday excused from further
attendance.
Last week Supreme Chancellor Colgrove
nominated Representative Gale, of Massa-
chusetts, to fill the vacancy in the supreme
tribunal caused by the resignation of Judge
Seay He nominated John II. Alexander, of
Virginia to succeed himself on the tribunal.
The nominations were confirmed by the SUI
preme Lodge yesterday. Tomorrow the
vacancy caused by the resignation of Judge
Chase, of Maine, will be made.
Some of the opposition are insisting that
rumors concerning the funds of the SUI
preme Lodge be cleared up well as those
of the endowment fund. AS heretofore pub
iished it is charged that the Supreme Lodge
was compelled to borrow $4,000 to pay the
expenses of the present convention. The re-
port of Thomas d. Meares, supreme master
of exchequer, shows that there was a bal
arce on hand amounting to SO. 106.03 March
81, 1898 not including S1,361.S0 belonging to
the Hines memorial fund. Yesterday Rep
resentative Scism of Nebraska moved that
the supreme master of eXchequer be re-
ouested to furnish a detailed statement OF
receints and disbur easements of his office from
the close of the fiscal year to the opening
day of the convention The resolution was
adopted.

lodge of the K. of p, and were won by Mo-
blesville Lodge, 49, whose members were

made in the afternoon at the store to two
committees appointed from the victorious
company and lodge, who are now receiving
the congratulations of their friends on all
Sides

tie speech and presented the complimentary

who had been selected by the voting con-
test held at that store last week. The

the parade at inspection and review, was
awarded to Col. John Conlen, of the First

vile, who received 20225 ballots. The sec
ond in this contest was Captain Lange, with
17,27S votes.

outside of the First Regiment, was Capt. j.
H Briggs of New Albany. who received
10 se7 votes The next highest number was
received by Captain Hummell of Muncie
who had 1877 votes. The three swords
were very handsome specimens of the, ar
morer's art. The recipients made short
speeches of thanks.

the board formulated plans to Immediately

sition Of secretary of the Endowment Rank

of the business in these meetings has been
to arrange for blank forms, such as are
used in all insurance societies The secre-
tary will give bond in some substantial
trust company, and the funds of the En-
dowment Rank will be deposited in one of
the national banks at Galesburg, Ill. No
one can take out insurance in this rank
