FAMOUS WARSHIP
San Francisco, May 16.—"Good uye
dear old Oregon," was the sentiment
voiced by hundreds of men. women!
and children during the last week of)
the Victory Liberty Loan campaign'
when they visited the famous old bat-
tleship for the last time as she lay
at anchor in San Francisco bay. With
I in a few weeks the grim fighter of
: nearly a quarter of a centuary agp
I will take her place w ith the "consli-
I tution" in the hearts of the Ameri-
can people; the Orgeon will go out of
commission and become a memory.
A few weeks after the sinking of
the battleship Maine at Havana the
Oregon was in San Francisco harbor
when there flashed across the conti-
nent on March 12, 1898, from thfi
Navy Department to the Oregon's
commander an order to proceed to
Callao (Peru) as soon as practica-
ble On March 17, Captain Charles
E. Clark assumed command, and two
days letter began the celebrated trip
around the "Horn."
Captain Clark was not advised that
war had been declared against Spain
until his arrival at Rio Janerlo. April
30. Great concern was felt in the
United States for the lonely Oregon
as the whereabouts of the Spanish
under Admiral Cerera, which had
just left the Cape Verde Islands, was
unknown.
The nation breathed a sign of re
lief when word was received that the
Oregon had arrived safely at Jupiter
Inlet, Fla., May 24, after a trip of 14,-
000 miles made in 68 days. A few
days later she joined Admiral Samp
son s fleet off Santiago, Cuba and she
participated in the great battle of
Sunday, July 3, 1898, when Cervera's1
fleet was annihilated. The Oregon
forced the Colon, the last of the Span
Ish ships ashore to be destruction
Subsequently the Oregon steamed
from New York to Manila where she
was on duty during the American
operations in the Philippines. Of late
years she has been used for a training
school for young sailors and has been!
the feature of many celebrations and1
other events.
She was built at the Union Iron'
Works at San Francisco in 1896 and %
carried a complement of 34 officers1'
"I67.1 men' H« displacement was
ii',-s88 tons.
