WASHINGTON , July 12.-Specinl ( Tole-
grain-Tho nomination of Colonel C. S.
Chase to be surveyor of customs at the port
of Omaha , made by the president today. was
bold for consideration for some time in view
of protests tiled by citizens of Omaha
against the proposed appointment. These
protests filed with Assistant Secretary Vait-
deniip of the Treasury department reviewed
Chase's career while mayor of Omaha and
went into innumerable details as to his
ability to perform the duties of the office.
Senator Thurston , however , was pledged to
Chase months ago and in view of the fact
that while mayor Chase appointed Thurston
city attorney the senator felt that a senti-
meat was Involved in the matter which lie
could not overlook. Before leaving for the
west Thurston had an Interview with President -
dent McKinley relatIve to the protests on
file in Colotiel Chase's case and reviewed at
length their importance as having bearing
on the situation , I'resident McKinley agreed
with the senator that the latter was the
best judge of the fitness of candidates for
local offices in his state and accordingly the
nomination was made today. C. D. Wood-
worth vas the most prominent candidate
against Chase , having the support of Assistant -
sistant Sc'cretary Vandenhlp. John Itosicky
was also SPokeil of highly , but. the lroiulse
itiado by Senator Thurston that he would
look after his old friend was strictly ad-
hicred to.

and American war ships near this harbor was

Americans before antlago. atid the fltuilh
weekly anniversary of the lewCy victory aL
Cavito Out ! the fIfth since the discovery by
Commodore Schuiey of Admiral Cervera's
squadron , brought ito particularly diffdrent
sItuation from that marking the preceding
Sundays. Tue monotony , the hack of ldctur-
esqucness at daybreak , the bent of tli trdp-
leal sun-all were there. Over the tops of
the partly dcntioyeti earthwot'ls nppearod
the muzzles of the 511010 old gnus , quite
ready despite the Saturday bombardment

slightly rolling sea the great battleships of
the American ileet swung mcii ) ' at a distance
of from four to five miles off the harbor
entrance. The line which at all times wn
BtilpoSeti to be a half circle enclosing the
harbor entrance as a central POlntVwas more
than ordinarily broken up this mornng.
The battleships had drifted to the cast , the
Massachusetts , New Orleans , New York anti
Newark were uiot iii sight. The New York
hail taken Admiral Sanipson toItares ,
eight miles east , to make a visit to the camp
of tile American army , while 'the other
mIssing essols vcro at Guantanamo , forty
miles to the east. The vessels on the block. .
ado vcro the Iowa , Indiana. and ' Oregon0
battleships , the Brooklyn , llagsblp of Corn-
tilodore Schley , and the entaIl yashits Gloucester -
cester and Vixen. The Iowa vuss swinging
a mile further out than the rest of the
squadron trying to fix her forward .twoivit-
inch turret , which was out of repair , . wluiie
the Indiana was doing the sauna thing to
her forward thirteen-Inch turret. The ab-
solutehy available ships in the squadron ,
therefore , were only the Oregon , Texas and
Brooklyn , although later both Capttiin Evans
and Captain Taylor fought their ships.
First Sigit li a : tIoe.
It is a custom on ships regulated by the
rules that there shah ho a general muster
at least Once each three months anti that
the articles of war shall be road. First call
had been soundeti at 9:15 : a. in. anti tile men
were assembling on tile dccks. The lookout
In the inastiicatl of the Brooklyn bail 501110
tinlo before reported smoke in ( ho harbor ,
but as the iaiiie tIling hid been noticed
several times no special attention Was haiti
to it. The Brooklyn anti thu Vixen were
the only ships to the west of the entrance ,
the others having drifted veil to the cast.
On the bridge Navigator Ilodgson of the
Brooklyn saId sharply to the lookout : "Isn't
that itnioko moving ? " and the lookout , after
a minute's Inspection with the long glass ,
dropped it excitedly and yelled :
"Thero's it big ship coming out of the
harbor. '
Ilodgson , who is a particularly cool man ,
looked once himself , and , grasping the
mogaphoite , shouted : "After bridge there !
Tell the commodore the coorny' fleet Is corn-
lag out. "
Comunotiore Schhcy was sitting tinder the
awning on the quarter deck. Going to the
bridge , lie said : "RaIse the slg1la to the
fleet , " and , turning to CaptaIn Cook , who
stood near , ho said : "Clear ship for action. "
Then lie vent forward anti took his place
011 a little platform of wood running on the
outside of the conning tower , which had
Ucen built for him.
The men with a yell went to their guns
and the rapid preliminary orders were given.
Schlcy , glasses in band , watcbctl tile first
ship turn out and saw it start for the west.
Still he gave no order to fire. The Oregon
opened with its thirteen-inch shells anti the
Indiana anti Texas followed suit , but the
range was a honge one.
Still the Brooklyn 'aited , but clown below
the coal was being forced into the furnace ,
every man was being worked and every gun
being loathe ready to fire. Schley wanted to
know which way they were all oIog or
whether they wouid scatter. In the meantime -
time the Oregon began to turn to the west
and the Texas had moved In closer and was
damaging tiio leading ship , the Ihfanta
MarIa Teresa. : . . :

turrets. In an instant the Broqllyn's tot-

Standing in this hail of shells , Counniodore

Schley , sitting netr the forward eight-

saId : "Tell the Oregon she can try one of

There was a terrible roar as the big shell
went by the Brooklyn , a moment of sus-

cheer as tile big shell struck tIle water

At 1:05 : p. m. . ltoth the Iirooltlyn rind tIle
Oregon were pounding away at the Colon
and In another ten minutes , nfOr return-
lag the fire in a desultory sort of way and
raithl- losing rouqd , it turned toward
shore. At 1:15 : it hauled down its flag.
With yells of delight the men poured out
of the turrpts of tue two ships , and when
a broom went tiit at the main mast of the
Brooldyit they began to cheer and did not
stop for ten minutes.
At. thIs time the only sbip In sight were
V
the Vixen , about five miles alay. and the
Texas , about seven miles away. The Ne
York was not in sight. As the big ships
moved in en the quarry the smoke ot tim
New York could be seen coming over the
horizon from the east , but it was fully
twelve miles away.
A heat was lowered from the Brooklyn
and Captain Cook went ajoard to recehq
the surrender. The rearaduniral In chargs
saId , with tears In his eyes : "I suurcuider

Commodore Schley , seeing this , cnega-
phoned over , "I request the honor of re-

Crlstobal Colon. "
No answer was vouchsafed him from the
Now York , anti the ship that had not fired

then raised the pennant : "A glorious vlc-

The Brooklyn was hit twenty.six times ,
but only one man , G , H , EllIs , was killed ,
