OLD OREGON TO BE DISMANTLED Battleship Which Helped An nihilate Spanish Fleet, Is Doomed San Francisco, May 17. —"Good bye dear old Oregon." was the senti ment voiced by hundreds of men, women and children during the last week of the Victory Liberty Loan campaign, when they visited the famous old battleship for the last time, as she lay at anchor in San Francisco bay. Within a few weeks the grim fighter of nearly a quarter of a century ago, will take her place with the "Constitution") in the hearts of the American the Oregon will go out of commission and be come 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 con tinent, on March 12, 189S, from the Navy Department to the Oregon's commander, an order to proceed to Callao (Peru), as soon as possible. On March 17, Captain Charles E. Clark assumed command, and two days later began the celebrated trip around the "Horn." Captain Clark was not advised that war had been declared against Spain until his arrival at Rio Janeiro, April 30. Great concern was felt in the United Stales for the lonely Oregon, as the whereabouts of the Spanish fleet, under Admiral Cer vera, which had just left the Cape Verde Islands, was unknown. The Nation breathed a sigh 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 in G8 days. A few days later she joined Admiral Sampson's fleet off Santiago, Cuba, and she participated in the great battle of Sunday, July 3. IS9S, when Cervera's fleet was annihilated. The Oregon forced the Colon, the last Df the Spanish ships, ashore to her destruction. Subsequently the Oregon steamed from New York to Manila, where she was on duty during the American operations in the Philippines. Of ate years she has been used for a training school for young sailors and has been the feature of many cele orations and other events. She was built at the Union Iron Works. at San Francisco, in 1896, nd carried a complement of 34 of ficers and 671 men. Her displace ment was 10.25S tons. HIS MALADY "J.
