THE OREGON SAFE.
Navy Department Has Information of the
Big Battleship and Is Satisfied.

Navy Department Has Information of the
Big BattIeship and Is Satisfied.
From the Associated Press.
WASHINGTON, May 18.-Secretary
Long gave out the welcome informa-
ton today that the battleship Oregon,
the second largest craft in the Ameri-
can 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 Samp-
sons fleet 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
department had received since the bat
tie of Manila, as it meant not only that
the Oregon was out of harms way
from q concerted attack on this one
ship by the whole Spanish squadron
now in southern waters; but also that
her great fighting strength would be
added to Admiral SIMPSONS force in
the near future, if indeed it had not
already augmented the admiral's
strength.
The Oregon left San Francisco about
six weeks ago, before the war had
opened, and at that time it was not
admitted that she was to join the ships
in Atlantic waters. She stopped at
Callao for dispatches and then went
round the Horn and then up the east
coast of South America. In all the
trip covered more than $4,000 miles.
Aside from this bit of information,
Secretary Long said at the close Of Of
fee hours that there was no further
news to be given out. Late in the
day Secretary Long joined the war
board which had been in session for
some hours to participate in the dis
cussion of their plans, which he be-
lieved to have been materially modi-
fled by the news received from the
Oregon.

OEF TO THE WAR.

TT may be owing to the fact that war is
l. upon us, and that our certificates con-
tain no restrictions or forfeitures on ac-
count of war or riots, that the CAROLINA
BENEVOLENT ASSOCIATION has
within the past few months made such
wonderful strides. Perhaps one of the
most important and interesting of all the
new enterprises that have made this year
memorable is the CAROLINA BENEV-
OLENT ASSOCIATION. This Associ-
alton promises lasting advantages to the
people, and insures positive benefits to
the state. Its mission is to disseminate
Life Insurance throughout the counties OF
this State, and to provide a means OF pro-
lection at home. Thus thrift will be pro.
NOTED, the habit of saving will be fostered
and many families will have provision
made for them against that which is sure
the chief bread-winner will be taken
from the household. 1t will also keep at
home and save the state hundreds and
thousands of dollars, which now go to
enrich our sister States. The distinctive
features Of the CAROLINA BENEVO-
LENT ASSOCIATION are:
First-That it is purely mutual and
cooperative company, and collects from
the policyholders no more than is abso-
lutely necessary to carry out the protec-
tive purposes Of the association.
Second-It is the only company that
confines its liability to local territorial re-
strictions.
Third-It is the only company that has
its accounts audited monthly by an out
side board of auditors at the end Of every
month, and publishes the result for the
information of its policyholders.
Fourth-It Is the only fraternal, benev-
olent and cooperative plan of insurance
that offers It's polcyholders a cash sur
render value at stated ages.
Fiftb-It is the only such company
that offers its policyholders an indemni-
ty against death, accident and old age in
one and the same policy. 1t unites cheap
ness with security and absolute safety.
1t issues but one policy and pays 81 900 in
the event of death, $500 in case OF loss of
one hand or foot or both eyes, and offers
a cash surrender value of $3.50 at the age
Of Is and $500 at the age Of IS. This cer-
tificate is issued at the nominal sum of
$3.50 between the ages II and Sc. All ben
fit assessments are graduated according
to the age of the policyholder.

DEVELOPMENTS Of THURSDAY.
Synopsis of News Published Friday Morn
ing.

There was an unusual dearth of
news in the Associated Press dispatch
es the only source available Friday
morning; but there is good reason to
believe that important happenings
took place on Thursday, or were about
to take place, and if so, it is very
probable that the dispatches which
will come in after this has to be writ
ten may give additional information.
The only news from the Spanish
fleet of Admiral Cervera published
Friday morning, was by way of Kings
ton, Jamaica, and Madrid. The Mad
rid dispatch, by way of Paris, said
that Cervera's squadron had reached
Santiago de Cuba. There were two
American warships there at the time,
but both of them left at full speed.
The cruiser Charleston which left
San Francisco on Wednesday to cross
the Pacific, returned to San Francisco
on Thursday. 1t was because of an
accident to some of the machinery of
the cruiser. The accident is not
tuouSHI W pC VI any oPoSioi i"Poio-
ance and the delay will be short.
Further information from the recent
cable cutting engagement at Cienfue-
gos, is to the effect that the Spanish
killed number 800, and the wounded
several hundred more. The Spaniards
were thoroughly demoralized, and
have ever since been in great fear that
the Americans would return and re-
sumo the bombardment.
a Washington dispatch from the
special correspondent of the Atlanta
Journal says the fleets of Schley and
Sampson formed juncture on Thurs
day, and that General Shafter was or
dered to embark troops for the inva-
sion Of Cuba on Friday. In an earlier
dispatch the same day the same cor
respondent sizes up the situation as
follows:
The administration will not wait
longer than this week for the naval
engagement. If Sampson and Schley
do not within the next three days sue
ceed in rounding up the Spanish fleet,
or rather if Cervera continues to evade
our vessels, then the order will be

NEWS OF FRIDAY.
Telegraphic Summary of the
Latest War Developments.
BY Telegraph to The Yorkville Enquirer.


KEY WEST, May 2O.-The big YES
sells from Sampson and Schley's squad
rons have been coming into this har-
Dor for the past 4S hours taking on
coal and ammunition. The under
standing is that all are to sail this al
ternoon, and that they are to 90 after
Admiral Cervera's feet, the location
of which is not definitely known here.
That an important movement, per-
haps the long looked for battle is i'm
minent, there is no doubt.
Off For Manila.
SAN FRANCISCO, May 20.-The re-
turn of the Charleston yesterday was
not on account of an accident to
her condenser, as was given out.
1t now develops that when the
cruiser put to sea it wass with the
intention of returning as she did. 1t
is expected that she will set out again
tomorrow, this time as convoy to four
transports carrying 5000 troops with
ammunition and supplies for Dewey.
Only Spanish Fake.
New YORK, May 2o.-A Madrid
dispatch by way of London, says that
Admiral Cervera's fleet landed large
quantity of arms and supplies for
Blanco at Santiago de Cuba, and is
now on the way to lombard Savan-
nah, Georgia. The fact that Sa-
vanah, Georgia, is ten miles up a
river that can be navigated by such
heavy. cruisers as those of the Spanish
fleet only with the greatest difficulty,
if at all, and the further fact that the
entrance to the river is defended by a
number of S.inch rifles, goes to show
that the dispatch is merely intended
to mislead somebody.
To .Re-enforoe Sampson.
WASHINGTON, May 20.-The cruiser
Columbia was today ordered to leave
its station on the New England coast,
proceed south and join Sampson.
Here Is the Oregon.
The navy department today gave
out information as to the whereabouts
of the Oregon. According to the
statement, she, accompanied by the
Marietta and Buffalo, formerly Mich
teroy) put in at St. Pierre, Martinique,
yesterday, and picked up the Harvard,
which has been in port there for 10
days, afraid to leave on account of
the Spanish boats Pluton and Terror.
From ST.. Pierre all four vessels head
ed full speed for the Windward pas
sage to join Sampson. They will be
met in the Windward passage by coal
ships from Key West.
Anticipating a Battle.
News of battle with the Spanish
fleet off Cuba is expected hourly.
Now We Are In For 1t, Maybe.
1t is stated in official circles today
that the administration has complete
and tacit understanding with Great
Britain on the subject of an offensive
and defensive alliance between the two
countries. As to whether Great Brit
ain will take any part in the present
war has not yet fully developed,
though it is believed that she stands
ready to render to Admiral Dewey any
assistance he might need on account
of possible interference of other ma
tions with his operations in the Phil
ippines.

the advisability of sending the coast
