OREGON NOT GOING TO SAMOA
After Coaling at Honolulu She Will
Proceed to Manila.

Washington, Jan. 22.-The oregon is
lot going 10 Samoa, but will go
straight ahead to Manila after taking
coal at Honolulu, according to the Of
hcials al the navy department The
dispatch Of the ocean-going tug Iro~
quois yesterday from San Francisco to
Honolulu was not inspired by a desire
to change the Orcgon's orders, for, as
4 matter of fact, the navy department
arranged two months ago TO use the
Iroquois as dispatch boat between
san Francisco and Honolulu, pending
he laying of a cable, and this trip was
projected at that time.
OF course, the opportunity TO send
dispatches to the Oregon was seized by
he navy department.
