Clears All of Blame.

WASHINGTON, September 3.-The
Navy Department has just received by
mail the Official report of Captain Wilde,
of the battleship Oregon, of the circum-
stances attending the grounding OF that
ship in the Gulf of Pechili, last June,
and her successful salvage. The report
goes to confirm the departments pre-

tain Wilde or any officer of the Oregon,
who, in fact, appear to have exercised
extraordinary precautions to guard
against the accident. The Oregon has
been completely repaired and arrived
yesterday at Woosung. where she is to
form one of the international fleet to
