WASHINGTON, Especial. )-The fol-
lowing dispatches have been received
at the navy department:
MANILA.-For political reasons the
Oregon should be sent here at once.
DEWEY.
MAN1LA.-The Yorktown arrived
Charleston and Petrol cruising around
Philippine islands. Affairs more
quiet. DEWEY.
The cablegram from admiral Dewey
asking for the Oregon was received
with surprise by the officials here. No
one knew, or at least would acknowl
edge that he knew, of the political
reasons which the admiral says demand
the immediate presence of the peerless
battleship. The cablegram was taken
to the cabinet board and fully dis
cussed there. The admiral, is said,
possibly feels that the moral effect of
the presence of the big ship on the
insurgents themselves, and particu-
larly upon that large element among
the Filipinos that is believed to be re-
strained with difficulty from joining
fortunes with Aguinaldo, with whom
their sympathies lie, would be good.
But there is an underlying doubt
whether the admiral may not be keen
ly sighting gathering cloud in the
east, and is looking to the prevention
of any possible Intervention or inter-
ference 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 the insurgents is not
denied, and it may be that some of the
naval commanders in the east are dis
posed to seize upon the pretext that
their interests demand protection
which we cannot afford them, to make
a landing or do something obnoxious
to the United States, and likely to en-
courage the insurgents. With such I
strong naval force as would be afforded
by the reinforcement of Dewey's fleet
by the Oregon there could not be any
sound reason, nor even a plausible rea-
son for any such action on the part OF
third parties.
A dispatch from San Francisco says;
The Oregon arrived at Hilo February
4 aud Honolulu February 5. Iris and
Scandia arrived on the 18th.
Allowing for detention on accoun
of coaling at Guam or somo othel
point between Honolulu and Manila
it is estimated that the Oregon will
reach Manila about March 10.
The cabinet gave some attention t.
Dewey's cable message relative to tn
political Importance of sending tn
Oregon at once to Manila.
Secretary Long said: II am sur
it has no international significance
You may state that positively. Proba
bly, he wants a fine ship there as tn
American commissioners are abor
due, and it will give weight to tb
American repr resentations.'
