An Exciting Trip
New York, May e5.--A special to tho
Evening World from Jupiter, Fla, says
that Lieutenant A. r. Davis, of the bat
tleShip Oregon came ashore there last
night. ''Our race said Lieutenant
Davis. was most exciting, especially
after we left Bahia, for we then knew
the possibility Of interception. Captain
Clark. however, kept the little feet in
readiness, and had we run into
the Spanish fleet, we would have been
heard from. AS it is we are all happy
that we have a chance to take part with
the fleets now looking for the Span
iards." The Marietta and Buffalo are
with the Oregon.
