presence of the big ship upon the insur-

But there is an underlying doubt
whether or not the admiral may not be
sighting a 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 near Manila.
It is believed that in the big fires much
property Of foreign residents and bust
ness concerns was destroyed. That these,
flres We're caused by the insurgents can
not be denied. and it may be that some
of the foreign naval commanders in the
East are disposed TO seize upon the pre-
text that their interests demand protec-
ton to make a landing or do something
| obnoxious TO the United States and likely
to encourage the insurgents.
With such Strong naval force as
would be afforded by the reinforcement
of Dewey's fleet by the Oregon there
could not be any reason for any such ac-
ton on the part of the third party,
The cabinet. after considering Dewey $
message relative TO the present impor-
lance of sending the Oregon at once to
Manila reached the conclusion that too
much Importance should not be attached
to it: that Dewey wants the big ship 10

rotary Long said, when asked for an eX-
PLANTATION of the reference to political re-
lations in the dispatch, said:
81 am sure that it has no international
significance. You may state that post
lively. Probably he wants fine ship
there as the American commissioners arc
about due and it will give weight to the
American representations.
1t is suggested from other naval sources
that Dewey wants the Oregon to release
number of the smaller ships of the feet
for other work. He has been planning 4
tour among the islands other than LuZou
with the purpose of establishing the au-
thority of the United States among them
1t is also necessary to establish close
blockade to prevent the insurgents from
receiving supplies, THESE projects require
for their execution a number of ships
Dewey cannot spare them at present but
when the Oregon gets into Manila harbor

The failure of some of the new tor
pedo boat destroyers to attain any
thing like the speed recorded of them
while on their contractors trials is en-
gaging the serious attention of the adj
miraity and of naval engineers. The
difficulty has existed ever since the
adoption of the 30-knot destroyers. hut
it has been especially noticeable in the
eases of the Earnest and the Chiffon.
which only few months ago, while I'M
dergoing their contractors trials on
the Clyde. exceeded mean speed of 30
knots on continuous three hours run,
the engines in each case working at
5000 horse power. Since they have
been at Davenport completing for sea
they have been subjected to no work
whatever, yet on a two hours trial,
with the engines working at an even
greater rate than when on the CLYDE,
they barely exceeded &c knots. Such a
great reduction of speed in new YES
sells is regarded as surprising. and even
alarming, and it is likely to form the
subject of close inquiry.-London
