DEWEY WANTS OREGON

OFFICIALS ARE MUCH SURPRISED.

No One in Washington Seems to Know

Washington. Feb. 25.-The following
dispatch has been received at the navy
department:
Manila, Feb. 24.-For political rea-
sons the Oregon should be sent here at
once. 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 admit, that
he knew the nature of the political
reasons which the admiral says de-
mand the immediate presence of the
peerless battleship. The cablegram
was taken to the cabinet board and
fully discussed there. The admiral. 1t
is said. possibly feels that the moral

ing fortunes with Aguinaldo. with
whom their sympathies lie. would be
good.
May See a Gathering Cloud.
But there is an underlying doubt
whether or not the admiral may not be
keenly sighting a gathering cloud in
the east. and is looking to the pre-
vention of any possible 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 for
eign residents and business concerns
was destroyed. That these fires were
caused by the insurgents cannot be de-
| MED, and 1t 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 en-
| courage the insurgents. With such a
| strong naval force as would be AFFORD
| ed by the reinforcement of Dewey's
feet by the Oregon there could not be
any sound reason, nor even a plausible
reason for any such action on the part
| Of third parties.
