H SURPRISED WASHINGTON.
Admiral Dewey's Request for the
Oregon Not Explained,
WILL REACH MANILA MARCH 10

WASHINGTON, Feb. 25. The follow
ing dispatches have been received al
the Navy department;
"MANILA, Feb. 24-For political
reasons the Oregon should be sent here
at once Charleston and Petrol cruis-
ing around tho Philippine islands.
Affairs more quiet. Dewey"
"SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 25.-The Ore
gon arrived at Hilo February and at
Honolulu February 5. Iris and Scan
dia arrived upon the 18th. -Giffen."
Mr.. Giffen is dispatch agent of the
department.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 25--General Otis
cabled the War department as follows
to-day:
"MANILA, Feb 25-Scandia arrived
last night. On nights 2lst and 92d and
yesterday morning insurgent troops
gained access to outskirts of city be-
hind our lines. Many in hiding and
about 1000 intrenched themselves.
Completely routed yesterday with loss
of killed and wounded about 500 and
200 prisoners. Our loss very slight.
City quiet, confidence restored, bust
ness progressing. Otis"
WASHINGTON, Feb. 25-The navy
department expects the battleship Or
egon to arrive at Manila about the
10th of March.
AS the transports are ahead of
schedule time, it thinks General Otis
within week will have reinforce
ments of $500 men.
The cablegram from Admiral
Dewey, asking for the Oregon, was re-
ceived with surprise by the officials
here. No one knew, or at least would
admit that he knew, the nature of the
political reasons which the admiral
says demand the immediate presence
of the peerless battle ship. The cable
gram was taken to the cabinet and
fully discussed there.
There is au underlying doubt
whether or not the admiral may
not be keenly sighting gather
ing cloud in the East, and is look
ing to the prevention of any posi-
BILE intervention or interference by
European powers in the struggle
now in progress in the neigh
borhood of Manila. 1t is believed that
in the big fires much property of
foreign residents and business con-
Germs was destroyed. That these fires
were caused by insurgents cannot be
denied and it may be that some
of the foreign naval commanders in
the East are disposed to seize
upon the pretext that their interests
demand protection which we cannot
afford them to make landing or do
something obnoxious to the United
States and likely to encourage the in
surgents.

Call on Him for Advice.
MANILA, Feb. 23.-While the guns
on the city walls and those on board
the ships of Admiral Dewey's fleet in
the bay fired salute on the anniver-
sary of Washington's birthday, four
commissioners from the island OF
Negroes had an interview with Major
General Otis, and informed him that
the American flag had already been
raised over that island, and that it's
inhabitants wero ready, anxious and
willing to accept any proposition the
Americans might Offer The insur-
gents have been driven from the island
entirely.
These men had visited General Mil
Ter at Iloilo and discussed the situa'
ton with him. They then returned to
Siloy, the principal town in the north"
ern part of Negroes, and hoisted the
American flag. Afterward they re-
turned to Iloilo in order to embark
for Manila to confer with General
Otis.
Although the Iloilo rebels have
given the people of Negros much
trouble, especially in the matter of
financial assistance demanded by the
rebel leaders, the inhabitants of Ne.
gros have persistently held aloof, and
now, through the commissioners, an
nounced that they wanted the advice
and help of General Otis. The latter
assured them that the Americans
would provide an acceptable govern
ment, and in the meantime he in
strueted them not to pay the rebels
anything The Negroes commissioners
were delighted with their reception.

YELLOW PINE SOLD.
salt Lake Syndicate rskes the Famous
silver PrOpertY.

silver Property.
The Yellow Pine mine of Boulde,
county one OF the remarkable silver pro
ducing properties OF Colorado. according
TO the Denver Republican has been sold
to company of Salt Lake capitalists
headed by David Keith. one of the prin.
cipal owners of the greet Silver King
nine of Utah.
The Yellow Pine was opened by G. r.
Williamson of Boulder several years ago
and for a long time was a very neavy
producer. netting the owner between
100000 and 10000. The mine created
a sensation IN mining circles, and for a
time its stock was in active demand BY
brokers and capitalists. but Mr.. William.
son steadily refuse to sell. being satisfied
with the handsome income resulting
from his operations. Shortly before the
panic Of 1893 be refused an offer of $500.
900 cash tor the property. Since 1895
but little work has been done On the mine
Mr.. Williamson preterr,ng to let the ore
remain in the ground until he could Sc
cure better price for silver.
Several months ago the Venture cor
porauon of London took an option on
the property, which was examined by T.
a. R'card consulting engineer OF the
Venture company. and considerable
work was done il the way OF opening the
nine and putting the workings in good
condition. II is on this option that the
mine has been sold to the Utah com.
pany. the price paid-sI55,ooo-being
the same that was offered by the Ven,
ture people. The mine is still large
property. and though the workings are
not extensive. it is said that there is
$4,000 worth Of ore IN sight, with every
indication that the rich values of the ore
will continue indefinitely as the vein is a
we'll defined and remarkably regular
hssure. In one of the veins there is a
fair showing of good copper ore, the
other being the high grade silver upon
which the reputation of the mine was
established.
The hrst payment on the property was
made day or two since. and the pur.
chasers have made arrangements to
thoroughly develop the mine at once.
There is little water in the shaft. main.
ly surface water, but a pump is to be in.
stalled, aud the shaft sunk to consid.
erable depth. A steam plant is to be
put on at once. Beside the deepening o!
