it's plans which are believed to have been
modified by the news recsiyed from the
Oregon.
The cruiser Charleston, which started
today on her long journey to meet Admi-
raj Dewey at Manila, should arrive there
in about "a days. allowing couple of
days at Honolulu for coal.
Nothing better illustrates the value of
the swift long range cruisers of the type
that make up the Spanish flying squad
ron than the fact that they would be able
to make such run as this directly from
San Francisco to Manila without stopping
anywhere for coal, at speed about 25
per cent greater than the Charleston. Ad-
miral Dewey's oablegrams show that he
is able to maintain the ground he has
gained until reinforcements arrive in the
usual course, so the Charleston will get
there in time to serve his purpose. The
stock Of ammunition which the Charles
ton carries is believed to be the greatest
essential just now, the fierce engagement
at Cavite having consumed large part
of the American admiral's shot and she'll.
Some little disappointment is felt at the
navy department. at the singular acci-
dent that happened to the Revenue cut
ter Gresham, when one section of the ship
was thrown into the St. Lawrence. 1t
is said that tho treasury department is
responsible for the delivery Of the ship
to the navy, in blue water. The treasury,
it appears, however, made contract
with private concern for the conveyance
of the ship through the system OF Cana
dian locks and canals. and this individual
is believed to be thoroughly responsible.
The immediate effect, however, will be
the loss to the naysy of q very efficient lit
tie gunboat.
There is good deaf of talk st the war
department today of the possibility of an
issue by the President OF another call
for volunteers, but careful inquiry tends
to warrant the statement that this is at
least premature and that no further call
Is likely to issue until the aggregate
number Of soldiers already called Tor has
responded and has been duly equipped
for service. The equipment OF the new
troops is in the main source Of delay and
it promises to become even worse in the
future, a3

DELAY CRITICISED.

Washington, May 1S.-When the Senate
On motion of Senator HawIey. went into
secret session today on the quartermasters'
bill Mr. Hawley read Letter from General
Flagler, chief of the bureau of ordnance
requesting that authority be given for
the purchase of ordnance without waiting
to advertise, saying that such delay ut
this time might be of very serious conss-
euenoe. The reading of the letter led to
{, brief discussion of the status of the
military operations and some iInpatience
was expressed regarding the apparent de-
lay in getting the military expedition to
the Philippines started. Senator Lodge
made q brief speech and expressed sur
prise and disappointment that eighteen
days should have been allowed to elapse
before troops sufficient to enable us to iol-
low up the naval victory at Manila with
an attack upon the Spanish land forces
had even been put in readiness. There
was no division upon the acceptance OF
tho report.

Washington, May 18.-Secretary Long
gave out the welcome information today
that the battleship Oregon, the second
largest craft in the American navy, had
successfully completed her long trip from
San Francisco, making the entire circuit
of South America, and was now safe.
Whether or not she has joined Admiral
Sampson's feet, the secretary would not
say. The rigid secrecy of the navy depart
ment was relaxed only enough to make
known the.best news the navy depart
ment had received since the battle of Ma
Mia, las 1t meant not only that the Oregon
was out OF harms way from concerted
attack by the whole Spanish squadron
now in southern waters, but also that
her great fighting strength would be add.
ed to Admiral Sampson's force in the
near future, if indeed 1t had not already
augmented the admiral's strength.
The Oregon left San Francisco about
six weeks ago, before the war had been
opened and at that time it was admitted
that she was to join the ships in At
lantic waters She stopped at Callao for
fdespatches and then went around the
horn and then up the east coast of South
America. In all the trip covered more
than 13, 600 miles. The last stretch.
form Bahia to the Windward Islands has
been followed with anxiety by naval offic-
ials for, by strange coincidence the
formidable Spanish squadron OF armored
cruisers and torpedo boats approached
the Winiward islands at the yery time
the Oregon was due there.
1t had been suspected that the Spanish
admiral would try to intercept the bat
| tleship with his superior force. and before
leaving Bahia Capt Clarke of the Ore.
gon, was warned to keep a close lookout
for the Spanish fleet. In reply, Capt.
Clark expressed his confidence in being
| able to hold his own. single handed, with
cruisers. The only apprehension he felt
was as to the torpedo boats, under the
Spanish admlraPs command, for these
are new and practically unknown ele-
menG against the modern battleship, and
Capt. Clark, while confident of holding
out against these, also said chance
blow might be struck by them. Not
Wlthstanding Capt. C,ark's assurances, the
navy department continued to feel tnat
a meeting between the Spanish and the
American battleships on such unequal
terms was far from desirable ana mignc M
bring most serious results. For this rea-
son the official information reaching the
hearty coneratulation. Where the report
came from s was as1 not made known. but the

London, May 19-Every other topic in

Hawarden focused the attention which,
from the highest to the man III the street
was respectful sincere and profound.
The time had come when as. Mr..
Chamberlain said last evening at the
Civil Service banquet, the greatest states
man of our time and generation was
passing to his rest. In two places, per-
haps was the tension most keen and most
heartfelt-the House of Commons and
Hawarden.

Lord Stanley, announcing that his father
was sinking. In the minds of all il was
the last of long series Of bulletins,
anxiously awaited and mournfully re-

Already before his death tho hush of
grief seemed to fall over the scene of his
triumphs; and from the present men
turned to the past recalling his sayings
and doings. A great lion lay dying, his
old colleagues, his one-time enemies and
followers watching his last long fight
with his last and implacable foe. as they
watched in past day his fights against
foes whom he could overcome. True to
himself he was yielding slowly, inch by
inch. 1t was generally felt at ST.
Stephens that his dying was but the
sequel.to that great scene Witnessed fou,
years ago when his last speech spoken, he
Quilted the House without one word Of
spoken adieu.
