EAGER FOR ACTION.
The Oregon, Officers and Crew Are in Excellent Condition.
Key West, May 28. - The Oregon's twenty-five officers and her crew of 425 seamen were well and happy when the battleship cast anchor off Sand Key lighthouse at 6:30 yesterday morning. The Oregon is in first-class shape and ready for another cruise as long as the one just ended. The excellent condition of the men after their sixty-six day's voyage is perhaps even more remarkable. Throughout the entire trip there were no cases of serious illness on board, and the men are as eager for immediate activity as if they had just come from a vacation in the mountains.
