DEWEY WANTS THE OREGON.

Speculation at Washington.

Washington, Feb. 25.-The following
dispatch was received at the navy de-
partment yesterday;
Manila. Feb e4-For political reasons the
oregon should be sent here at once Dewey
The 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 cabinet board and fully dis
cussed there. The admiral, 1t is said,
possibly feels that the moral effect OF
the presence OF the big battle
ship upon the insurgents themselves,
and particularly on that large element
among the Filipinos that Is believed to
be restrained with difficulty from
joining fortunes with Aguinaldo, with
whom their sympathies lie, would be
good. But there is an underlying
doubt whether or not the admiral may
not be keenly sighting n gathering
cloud in the east and Is looking to the
prevention of any possible interven
tion or interference by European pow
ers ip the struggle now in progress In
the vicinity of Manila.

HIS Mother and sister Cleared of
one of the Charges.

Platte City, Mo-, Feb. 9a-William
S. Foley. the young Clay county farm
er who has been in Jail for over two
years, charged with having murdered
his mother and sister at their home,
~ miles northwest of Liberty, was
declared not guilty by jury OF Platte
county citizens yesterday. Foley
was tried on the charge Of numbering
his mother and is still held to
answer to the Indictment accusing
him Of killing his sister. 1t is doubt
full, however, IL he will ever be
brought to trial on this charge.
This was Foley's third trial The
others took place at Liberty. The
first resulted in hung jury. On the
second he was convicted and was SEN
fenced to be hanged, but the supreme
court gave him new trial The cases
then came to Platte county on change
of venue. Foley has had several mar
row escapes from being lynched, and
for fear OF mob violence has been kept
in Jail at Kansas City most Of the
time until the cases were sent here.
