Oregon To Be Sent Back.

Washington, d. @, May 12.-It is
believed that the naval board OF
strategy has decided to send the
Oregon, the Marietta and the Mic
theroy back to the Pacific coast as
fast as they can go. II this is true
it would be for the purpose of rein
forcing as soon as possible the
vessels now at San Francisco to
guard against the possibility of a
part of the Spanish fleet getting into
the Pacific by way OF Cape Horn.
The naval board is puzzled over
the Spanish gunboat Temerario 1t
has been fooling along the South
American coast, always getting a
little further south 1t il stated
now that the board believes it may
be waiting for some Of the vessels of
the Cape Verde fleet, which may be
under orders to make for the Pacific
to raid the coast and to prey on
American commerce, now practically
unprotected. Should the Spauiards
get into the Pacific they would have
a clear field and could even take
Hawaii if they wanted to.

her way through the blockade and

Washington and escorted back to
Havana. Now it is told in such a
way that army and navy officials be-
