WASHINGTON, May 19.— Secretary
Long gave out the welcome informa
tion that the battleship Oregon, the
second largest craft in the Aftlferlean
navy, had successfully completed her
long trip from San Francisco, making
the entire circuit of South America and
was now safe. Whether or not she
has joined Admiral Sampson's fleet,
the secretary would not say. The rigid
secrecy of the navy department was
relaxed only enough to make known
the best news the navy department
had received since the battle of Ma
nila, as it meant not only that the Or
egon was out of harm's way, from a
concerted attack on this one ship by
the whole Spanish squadron now in
southern waters, but also that her
great fighting strength would be added
to Admiral Sampson's force in the near
future, if indeed it had not already
augmented the admiral s strength.
The Oregon left San Francisco about
six weeks ago, before the war had
opened, and at that time it was not
admitted that she was to join the ships
in Atlantic waters. She stopped at
Sallao for dispatches and then went
around the Horn and then up the east
coast of South America. In all the trip
covered more than 13,000 miles. The
last stretch from Hahia to the Wind
ward islands has been followed with
anxiety by naval officers, for by a
strange coincidence the formidable
Spanish squadron of armored cruisers
and torpedo boats approached the
Windward islands at the very time
when the Oregon was due there. It
had been suspected that the Spanish
admiral would try to intercept the bat
tleship with his superior force, and be
fore leaving Bahia Captain Clark of
the Oregon was warned to keep a close
lookout for the Spanish fleet. In reply
Captain Clark expressed his confidence
in being able to hold his own single
handled with the Oregon against all
the Spanish cruisers. The only appre
hension he felt was as to the torpedo
boats under the Spanish admiral's
command, for these are a new and
practically unknown element against
the modern battleship, and Captain
Clark, while confident of holding out
against these also, said a chance blow
might be struck by them.
Notwithstanding Captain Clark's as
surances, the navy department con
tinued to feel that a meeting between
the Spanish squadron and the Ameri
can battleship on such unequal terms
was far from desirable and might bring
most serious results. For this reason
the official information reaching the
authorities was a source of most hear
ty congratulations. Where the report
came from was not made known, but
the mere fact that Secretary Long re
gards the Oregon as safe makes it evi
dent that she has passed well to the
northward of the Windward islands.
Aside from this bit of information,
Secretary Long said that there was rio
further news to be given out.
OFF FOR MANILA.
Cruiser Charleston Starts on ller I.onsr
Journey From San Franelsco.
WASHINGTON, May 1».-The cruiser
Charleston, which started on her long
journey to meet Admiral Dewey at
Manila, should arrive there in about
24 days, allowing a couple of days at
Honolulu for coaling. Nothing better
illustrates the value of the swift
range cruisers of the type that make
up the Spanish flying squadron than
that fact that one would be able to
j make such a run as this directly from
San Francisco to Manila without stop
ping anywhere for coal, at a speed
about 25 per cent greater than the
Charleston.
Admiral Dewey's cablegrams show
that he is able to maintain the ground
he has gained until reinforcements ar
; rive in the usual course, so the
Charleston will get there in time to
serve his purpose. The stock of am
munition which the Charleston carries
(s believed to be the great essential
Just now, the lierce engagement at
Cavite having consumed a large part

DR. BARDWELL ON THE PHILIPPINES.
We Would Not be Justified in Deliver
ing Her People Back to Spain
To the Editor of Philadelphia Press.
Sir:—Nearly every day we read that
the Eiist India Islands won by Dewey
may, under certain contingencies, be
returned to Spain after the war is over.
Now there is one point in this question
of the ultimate disposal of the Philip
pine Islands which has apparently
been lost sight of, and it is the most
important point to be considered. It
relates to the future fate of the nine
million inhabitants of these islands.
These people are at least human be
ings, and judging by their past, the
only way we have of judging, they are
vastly more susceptible of develop
ment and civilization than the Span
iard.
They have been fighting their op
pressors. They have spirit. They are
men.
We can easily imagine how their
hearts leaped for joy as the first sound
of Dewey's guns awoke the echoes of
Minila Bay.
The thunderous roar from the Ameri
can Olympia on the first of May spoke
a message of hope and freedom to
these brown men on the isle of Luzon,
and shall we revoke that message?
No! Never! We cannot if we would.
We are in this war not for aggran
dizement or spoil, but to free Cuba
from Spanish tyranny-and incidentally
to discipline Spain somewhat for her
murder of women and children, and
her ruthless assassination of 260 Ameri
can sailors.
This is primarily a war for humanity
and no matter what other disposition
we may think best to make of the
Philippine Islands this one resort is
irrevocably barred. They must never
return to Spain.
The American people can never,
without unutterable disgrace,allow the
infamous yoke of Spain to again press
the necks once made free by American
shot and shell.
But these people are not slaves ! No
they are worse than slaves. A slave has
some rights as to protection and main
tenance, but these unfortunates have
none.
Subjects of Spain and Turkey do not
have the rights that a United States
dog has.
But, it has been feared that some of
the European powers will object to our
Using the islands as.,we see fit.
They may object "till the cows come
home," but with the recent object
le-tson in the China Sea before their
eyes, there is no one nation on earth
that dares do more than object in
words.
Should the combined powers of Eu
rope forcibly interfere, then there
would be some prospect of a speedy
realization of the Utopian dream of a
universal peace and brotherhood.
Then the day would be in plain sight
when superstition, ignorance and bar
barism as exemplified in Turkey and
Spain, could no longer control the des
tinies of a single human being.
For then would the glorious Stars
and Stripes and the grand old "meteor
flag of England" be twined together
and the American Eagle and the
British Lion on a platform of Right,
Justice, Freedom and Humanity would
defy and dominate and eventually
pacify the world.

t > find him practicing with his indian
clubs or dumb-bells, but were disap

Birthday Celebration.
The family reunion and birthday
party given in honor of Mrs. Ellen
Logan, each year, by her children at
Emporium, was held last Monday at
the home of her daughter, Mrs. I. K.
Hockley. All of Mrs. Logan's children
and nearly all of her grandchildren
were present and as usual a very
pleasant time was had.
Although Mrs. Logan is in her eighty
third year, nevertheless her health re

Pa.; and Mrs. Temp DeLong, of John
son burg, Pa.
Respectfully Referred.
Editor Press :
Do we spend too much money on
schools and preachers or is it not their
business to educate the people into
law-abiding citizens ?
I do not think the school teachers
and ministers should spend their time
playing detective, but what is the use
of this town spending $12,000 a year
on schools and churches if we allow
the people to openly violate the law.
I will name three instances and
would be very much obliged if you
will inform me through your valuable
paper who are the proper authorities
to look after such cases, as I think the
majority of our people would like to
have them corrected.
1 refer to the setting of the fence at
the Chadwick school house out twenty
feet into the public road. To the
openly adulterous union of a man and
woman on Clear Creek, and to the
open violation of the fish and game
laws.
Yours in good faith,
JOSIAII HOWAKD.
Memorial Sermon.
The annual memorial sermon to the
members of Post No. 241, G. A. R. and
Womans Relief Corps, as well as all
other patriotic citizens who desire to
attend, will be preached in the Baptist
church on Sunday evening, May 29th,
by Rev. W. R. McNeil. A patriotic
sermon is always appreciated by a
liberty loving people, but especially in
such exciting and eventful times as
these, when the war-llend hovers about
the shores of our beloved land, and the
Stars and Stripes are contending for
the right in a war for humanity's sake,
a discourse of the above nature ought
to appeal to the sentiment of every
American and demand the interest and
and attention of all classes. The repu
tation of Rev. W. R. McNeil's sermons
and particularly on such occasions as
as these, is too well known to need
any comment from us. The church
should be filled to overflowing.

The late editor Brann, of the Waco
Iconoclast, was not very far wrong
when he wrote the following: "I am
sometimes tempted to believe that the
only friendship that will stand fire is
that of a yellow dog for a pauper nigger.
Strike a friend for a small loan and af
fection grows suddenly cold. Lose
your fortune and your sweetheart sends
you word that she will be a sister to
you. Your brother will betray you for
boodle, your father fight you for a
foolish flag, and your heirs-at-law will
dance when they hear of your death,
but the devotion of a yellow dog to a
worthless nigger hath all seasons for
its own."
Grant Wiley, one of the solid young
business men of Emporium, was at
Potter's capital on Tuesday, and took
occasion to inspect the Andrews dairy
farm at East Coudersport. Mr. Wylie
is the owner of a large farm near his
town and is largely interested in the
new creamery at that point Two
law students were given the prelim
enary examination last week and both
passed very creditably. One was
Robert, son of our honored President
Judge, A. G. Olmsted; the other, Frank
A. Leet,Ulysses,who has been teaching
in Emporium for the past two years.
Both young men start in well equipped
for the study of law.—Potter Journal.
An exchange says that in the begin
ning God created the heavens and
earth; then he inade the editor, the
liberal advertiser and prompt paying
subscriber and it was good. The next
day a blizzard set in and he created the
man that didn't believe in advertising
and another who didn't take his home
paper, then he rested. Then the devil
got into the moulding room and he
created the tellow that takes a paper
for years and then fails to pay for it.
After completing that sorry job and
having a few lumps of mouldy, pigsty
mud left he made the excuse for a man
who instructs his postmaster to mark
his paper "refused," and he felt so
mean about it that ho has been kicking
himself ever since.
Attorneys recently returned from
Philadelphia relate a striking incident
in the supreme court chamber. It ap
pears that Captain Harry Alvin Hall,
captain of Company H, of Ridgway,
was one of the attorneys in asuit which
was down for argument before the
supreme bench. Hall was called out
with the National Guard. His associates
asked for a continuance on account of
Hall's absence. The other side fought
against continuance, alleging that Hall
had had very little to do with the cape
and might be absent two years. After
hearing the argument Judge Sterret
said: "These are peculiar times It is
enough for this court to know that Mr
Hall was an attorney in this case and
now he is called out to fight for hi*
country The case is continued."—
