is the sale of the Lake Superior Iron
company, which owns considerable
mining property in the Lake Superior

Washington. Feb. 25.-Admral Dewey,
after cabling news of the arrival of the
Yorktown at Manila and the fact that
affairs there are more quiet, sent the
following dispatch to the navy depart
ment:
For political reasons the Oregon
| should be sent here at once"
| This cablegram was received with
surprise by the officials here No one
knew. or at least would admit that he
knew, the nature of the political rea-
sons which the admiral says demand
the immediate presence of the peerless
battleship.
The cablegram was taken to the cab
met board and fully discussed there
The admiral, il Ia said, possibly feels
that the moral effect of the presence OF
the big ship upon the insurgents tham-
selves and particularly upon that large
element among the Filipinos that Is be-
lieved to be restrained with difficulty
from joining fortunes with Arn.naldo
with whom their sympathies lie, would
be good.
But there Ia an underlying doubt
whether or not the admiral may not be
keenly sighting gathering cloud in the
east and is looking to the prevention OF
any possible intervention or interference
by European powers in the struggle
now in progress in the neighborhood of
Manila.
Powers May Seek to Land.
1t is believed that in the big fires
much property Of foreign residents and
business concerns was destroyed. That
these fires were caused by the insur-
gents cannot be denied, and 1t may be
that some of the foreign naval COM
manders in the east are disposed to
seize upon the pretext that their inter-
ests demand protection which we can
not afford them, to making landing or
States and likely to encourage the in
surgents.
With such strong naval force as
would be afforded by the REINFORCE
ments Of Dewey's fleet by the Oregon
there could not be any sound rea-on,
nor even a plausible reason, for any
such action on the part of third parties.
General Otis has cabled the war de-
partment as follows:
"Scandia arrived. On nights 21st and
22d and morning ed insurgent troops
gained access to outskirts of city behind
our lines. Many in hiding, and about
1000 intrenched themselves. Complete

ATTACK ON CARDINAL GIBBONS.

Cardinal Gibbons was asked some time
ago by Cardinal Vaughan, says a New
York dispatch of December IS, to deliver
the sermon at the dedication next year
of the new Catholic Cathedral at West
minister. The Baltimore prelate accepted
the invitation, and preparations were be-
gun by the Catholics of England to well
come him appropriately. In England a
discordant note was struck last month by
an English Catholics attack upon Car
dinal Gibbons, who, he said, would not
be welcomed by Catholics, and it looked
as if the Baltimore prelate's trip must be
abandoned. But Cardinal Vaughan has
sent to Cardinal Gibbons assurances that
the English Catholics will give him a
warm reception next year when he comes
to London. These assurances have been
conveyed to Cardinal Gibbons by Bishop
Chatard, of Indianapolis, who has just
returned from visit to the Pope. On
his way back to this country he called
upon Cardinal Vaughan, and on his ar
rival here, before he went to Indianapo-
lis, he delivered message from the Eng
lish Cardinal to Cardinal Gibbons.

great that many names are expected

cheap and safe insurance should not fail
to investigate the plan adopted by this
society.

the tenor of their remarks and the en-.

efforts to bringing the Irish-Americar
Society to high degree of prosperity
and their efforts are fully appreciated by
their associates. The next meeting will
