OREGON'S SECRET I ' of Getting Into Uittlt 4ulcl( j-.r?pi, Clark Kept thm btmmm up, mmMiitttrndy for llutliitfM in??n (to* BaffUSomirttft. Cadet 8. G. MagUl in thj? Chicago Tltn?'?J-HeraId: At first th<T%i0p was filled with the rattle of drums wfrllng to quarters and the clarion of bugles, all of which wo Knew meant that wF'iere to do or die, and the most touching Incident ?ab the way those hundreds of men j*ent at the work, sinning and Joyous, without a thought of their personal fc'one of them had ey|r been under Arc before wo cufrie he^er^md yet they would puint out sheila striking the t/ater close by and yell, "Lowj balli" and as the shells whistled over ua, HlKh ball-1" j a( the Hpunlah ships came ant they 1 opened a terrible lb* on ua, and It waa only owing to their poor marksmanship tlut our ships did not uA riddled, '/hose four bpanish ships ljall* about ft?rty or lift> rapid-fire guns apiece, which gave them twenty to twentyjlve kuhh on a broadside, capable of llr- i inn an uverage of three shots a minute from the heavier gutis and ten ahota a 1 minute from the lighter guns. They 1 Kept the water all around jib boiling 1 with their shells, even if thejr did not I strike ua. It hua turned out that the I Oregon was only once hit by a small j rhcll. which hardly made more than a , Cent lu her heavy armor. Twice we . were also hit.with fragments of burst- j lug shells. When the Spanish fleet was dlscov- 1 fred coming out of the harbor the Ore- 1 uon at once, commenced st#mlng to- J ward the entrance before the other I ships of the squadron commenced, mov- i <ag. The Iowa waa soon bearing In to- i but aeemed to stop in her , effort to t turned around to the west- , ivarri. which was the direction taken by Ihc Spaniards. By this time the Oregon wa? going at full speed and making ' right for tho Meet. She crossed the bows I ?f th<* Jovvu like a shot. I One of my old classmates, who was In 1 the military top qt the Iowa when tho j Oregon passed her. said to me: "All of a sudden I saw an enormous wave on Ihc P"rt bow. and looking around 1 saw ' the < Toson walking by us. looking llko a. volcano as the black smoke poured : from h?-r funnels. I said to riiyarff: 'For . the love of Mike, are we standing still?' J f ne passed, barely missing us. and left 1 US Demr.U, anu lilt? 1>UJ sue ciuevu (Iiiu that r ur v.ns the finest sight I * ever expect to see." ' This Is the opinion expressed by oil 1 (ho officers on the other ships, und that " (lash of the Oregon will live in the mem- Jj ory of every one who saw it to the end I nr their da ye. Tiie credit for the beau- ? isrul work done by the Oregon, whereby j carried off the honors of the day, Is : fiye to Captain Clark, who quickly saw * the objective point of the Spaniards and ? ruided the ship so as to Intercept them. " j;gptain Clark is now the pride of the . Hvhole fleet, and is recognized as a tacjjelan of the very highest order. It Is ? - pleasant sight to see the way in which the Jackies in the fleet admire him. , the day of the fight, when he went over u to the tlagshlp to report to the admiral ?. in regard to the chase of tht Colon, the J! *cliors all lined up on the rail of the different ships as he went by in his a Kip and cheered him again and again. Tr.e boys of the different ships have 8 written a number of songs dedicated to f Jjlm. 11 Th* high speed we were able to get v up rlsrht away and the way we hung on u to them, driving them on to the beach * one after the other with the heavy tire from our guns, was what saved the day. {? Jt must be remembered that the four * Spanish cruisers were almost battle- 1 ehips. and had a greater speed than w most cruisers In the American navy.. All of our battleships, except the Oregon. 8 were foul bottomed nnd apparently had v little stoam on, so that when the enemy P Hlxteon or seventeen knots' speed. those battleships which were In condition to ? mak* only twelve or thirteen knots ? found themselves left behind. Hy the foresight of the captain and " the chief engineer of the Oregon we had h kept every boiler In use and a high a ("team pressure on from the time we 8 left San Francisco until the Spanish fleet came out of Santiago harbor. a Th^n we felt rewarded for this persist- ? race by being able to go through our * fire! ns though they were standing still, v zrA by the time we were abreast of the * r?r vessel In the Spanish fleet we wero ? making sixteen or seventeen knots our- c Mvcs and overhauled each one In sue- S <vsi!on. This may be of Interest, for 1 ninny will undoubtedly wonder how It 1 came nbout that the Oregon was able to G I take the leading position, although she i the farthest away when the enemy a | c?mo out a PRIZE MOH 2Y FOR OUB TABS. 1 v Sailor* of Oewrj'i ami Sampion'i Fleets will Draw Nearly 93000,000. Prize nionev to the amount of S446.000 Is to be distributed among tho officers and sailors of Dewey's anil Sampson's ji fleets. In addition, to this, the value of c the various merchantmen prizes cap- tl lured by the Havana blockading squad- P ron Is also to be paid to those who as- ? alsted In the taking of these vessels. $ The eleven Spanish shlp9 destroyed at Manila carried about 2,000 men. The Jiounty, therefore, will amount to about 1100,000, of which Admiral Dewey gets one-twentieth, or $10,000. and the balance goes to the other officers and men of th?' fleet, according to the rules of _ division. The statement has been made thut Dewey would receive about $150,000. ci Vhi* Is a mistake. c The seven Spanish ships that Sampcon's fleet destroyed at Santiago carried 2.4S2 men, for whom a bounty of $ J246.non will be paid. Admiral Sampson's 4 share will be $13,210, h aving $232,790 for . distribution among all the others of the lleet.

There rere other cruisers?the Shenandoah, he Siimter, th* Nashville, the Retrlbulon. the Tallahassee, the Chlckamauga -all of which did much damage to our lerchant marine. All of these cruisers rere more or less assisted and protected y England, and the consequence was hat the claims for damages against hat country were bunched under the Itle of the Alabama claims, and. as verybody knows. England settled the 111 by paying $16,600,000. During the war there were 1,129 prizes rought in by our navy. Two hundred nd ten of these vessels were fast tenmers, nearly all carrying valuable irgoes. There were also 355 vessels urned, sunk, or driven on shore, or therwlse destroyed. The value of all tie prize vessels and their cargoes was J0.000,000. They were condemned in mounts aggregating $28,000,000. The Santiago de Cuba, a side wheel teamer, was the great prize taker. Unsslsted by any other vessel, she capurod thirteen prizes, aggregating in alue $1,404,847, one-half of which was warded to her. No other vessel any rhere near approached this record. Tho largest single share of prize loncy fell to the lot of Lieutenant tudd, a volunteer officer In command of he steamer Magnolia. While on his ray from New York to Join Farragut's rjuadron in the gulf of Mexico he cooped In the steamer Memphis, outrani bound from one of the southern orts, laden with cotton. Strange to ay, the Memphis had been sighted by y another American war vessel, whose ommander failed to take her In. Had e been aware of Ihe fact that she was he richest prize of the war, he no doubt rould have lost no time In overhauling er. The expense of adjudication mounted to 132,581, leaving a net reult of $510,914. The Magnolia also captured, without sslatance, the steamer Matagorda, the et proceeds from which amounted to 153,568. The net total of the two prizes as $864,482. The law of prizes provides hat when the prize vesel Is of superior r equal froce to the vessel making the npture, the entire proceeds shall be ;lven to the captors, but If the capured vessel be of Inferior force, then he captors shall receive one-half, the overnment taking the other half. Under the law tho Magnolia was warded one-half the prize money, mounting to $432,241, which was ready Dr distribution in November. 1863.

Ho far ns the outlook In the ?otiey market In concerned there Is rospeot of easier conditions. There was o more gold lin ported to-day, but sterng exchange was weak and London money rate* are still below the New York level, though they'gardened fur-' ther to-day. The announced Intention of the treasury department to anticipate the October Interest payments on the 4 per cent bonds will release over $5,000,000 to the market. It Is expected also that the distribution of the new government 3s will be much more rapid from this , time on and will be completed by September 15. This will serve to liquidate a large amount of loans made by New t York banks for financing subscriptions to these bonds and will also make Che bonds available as security for deposits 1 of government money In national banks and for purposes of circulation. At | the same time the action of the treasury in anticipating interest payment is an Indication of the rather pressing needs of the money market Such a measure has not been resorted to since the period . of Secretary Windom's administration when the old tariff law wa*j yielding a surplus revenue. The bond market shared in the dull- ( ness of stocks and prices yielded before ' the end of the day. Total sales 12^)90,000. ( Quotations for government bonds were unchanged.

CHICAGO?Bad crop report* from Nebraska strengthened corn to-day. That aroused the sympathies of tradera 1 In wheat and was the principal reason 1 for an advance of %@>%c. At the close Lt^ember corn showed an advance of Oo?u nri* unchanced to %c ' higher. Pork advanced 7%c, iard 2ftc J and ribs 507%& A rather urgent demand from shorts i Just at the opening, owing to continued ? hot weather and lighter receipts than J expected, advanced the price of corn J %c over the close yesterday on the in- ' itial transactions. The condition of the 1 crop In Nebraska, however, appeared to be the chief consideration with traders. < Kansas corn was in as bad or worse j condition than that in Nenraska, but j the trade here had already* accepted the 3 damage reports from Kansas and did some buying because of them during I the last hhort bull campaign. It needed i another big corn state to be heard t from dlscouragingly as to its crop ( prospects to thoroughly stir up the 4 bulls. Nebraska's great disappoint- 3 ment as compared with her early pros- j pects for a big crop came opportunely* < and the chief Incentive to the buying. I The market had no decided set-back ex- 1 c?pt immediately following the opening bulge, and again after December had risen %c above the previous day's closing price, whence it had %c reaction. December opened tf?%c u p at 31? 31%c; declined to 30'^@30%c, improved j to 3lV*c, then reacted to 31?31%c at j the close. r Chicago received 193 cars of wheat, f against 220 as expected. The weather j was hot and considered unfavorable for t corn and that article was strong at the r commencement of the session. There i was a general feeling of confidence ex- n pressed on the curb that under present f circumstances December wh#at was low { enough. In consequence, the opening i trades were at about %c improvement v over closing prices of last night. No t wheat had been tendered on September $ contracts before the opening. This fact g helped In the formation of the slightly t bullish tone with which trading started. j. On the other hand Liverpool came %c lower, while Minneapolis and Duluth receipts were 672 cars, compnred I with 3H the corresponding day a year | ago. Corn scon began to drop a few t, sixteenths of Its early advance, and c thi? with 4hp iifoiin,. ?it Livernool and , heavy northwestern receipts hud to re- j celve the consideration It wns entitled j to ut the hands of the wheat specula- ; tors. As a result the small advance ut , the start wns lost. Business was small ( and the heat wns too oppressive for anyone to mix himself In the sweltering crowd who did not have an order very close to the market. During the %last part of the session corn grew strong c again and wheat responded sympathet- < leal I y. The aggregate of the day's primary c western market receipts was 1,026.000 .bushels. aKalnst 914,000 bushels n year ago. and It now appears as If the movement for the present season having at length caught up on that of the year before was getting In shape to beat it. The export clearances from Atlantic 1 and Gulf ports were equal In wheat and ; flour to 700.000 bushels. September opened up at 61c and after declining to f.3ftc, advanced to G4>4tf?C4*<,c at the close. December started higher at 6r%0(K%c, sold down to 61%G? J Gl^c, then firmed up to 62\4c and clos- 1 ed at 62%{?62Vic sellers. 1 Oats were easy early, but toward the * close the strength displayed by corn ' was felt and the market closed steady. I The principal part of the business 1 done was changing from September to v December. Dcceinber opened unehang- ?' ed at 19?fcc, up to 20c. weakened to 19\@ f 19%c and closed at 19~fc?2Cc. a Provisions were depressed nt the start f from the Knowledge tnai auoux i? tler.ces of lard had been delivered on 12 September contracts before the sew Ion t opened.
