THE MOST FAMOUS BATTLE.sHIE

On March 10, 1898, the United
States battle-ship Oregon left San
Francisco for her long run eastward
around South America. The per-
formance was watched by the whole
people, the chance of attack by the
Spanish fleet, whose whereabouts at
sea were unknown, giving the long
voyage a sensational aspect. The
Oregon reached the Florida coast
May 24th. Though she had run A.
600 knots she was reported ready for
duty and at once steamed to her
place in the Cuban feet. Forty days
later she took leading part in the
battle with Cervera's ships. 1t was
her speed and heavy guns that pre-
vented the escape of the Colon,
which had outstripped the other
Spanish vessels. If the Colon had
run the gauntlet successfully the vic
tory would have been seriously in
complete and the war prolonged, for
it was the utter obliteration of their
squadron that completed the dis
couragement and disgust of the
Spanish people.
On March 8, 1899, just one year,
less a day, after her departure from
San Francisco, the Oregon steamed
into the bay of Manila and Dewey
cabled that she was fit for any duty.
Again she had steamed around South
America, and, in addition, had
crossed the Pacific. The voyage of
10000 knots from New York to
Manila was not race against time,
but was completed between October
18th and March 18th. The speed of
the Oregon is no less remarkable
than her mechanical perfection. A
year ago she ran the 4076 knots
between San Francisco and Callao in
fifteen and half days, an average of
263 knots day. The final run of
over 5000 knots from Honolulu to
Manila was made in twe6ty-six days.
No battle-ship in existence has
record approaching this. The Ore
gon was built by American me-
chanics in San Francisco, which less
than sixty years ago was foreign
village of 500 inhabitants. Half a
century of American expansion there
has produced a splendid metropolis,
and one capable of constructing the
greatest ship in all history.

a first box of 20 bottles the demand rap
idly grew to a cars capacity, followed
by loaded trains. (This was in the in.
