London, Feb. 5.-There is renewed activity at Cardiff, owing to the de- mand for coal. The admiralty agents to-day received instructions to secure the prompt loading of coal cargoes for the British fleet in Japanese waters. Steam coal is so freely sold that it is impossible to obtain spot cargoes. There is considerable pressure for the imme- diate shipment of coal already pur- chased by Russia and Japan, and for the European navies, hence several days are likely to elapse before the British admiralty orders can be filled.

 cnllx Ruined.

 Washington, Feb 5.-Immediately on receipt of the telegram announcing the acciden. to the Iowa Secretary Moody sent dispatch calling for full details and ordering the Iowa to proceed at once to New York for examination and repairs.
 This second explosion on the Iowa within less than year has cast a gloom over the officials of the navy de- partment The cause of the explosion or the Iowa of Panama last year in which there was a loss of life and con- siderable damage to the ship remains a mystery Several boards attempted to clear it up with out definite result.

 It was said to-day that the Iowa had been recently supplied with a new allot- ment of powder. which had been thor oughly tested
