NEW YORK, Feb. 2&-A dispatch to the Tribune from Washington says: The navy department has received the M. lowing cable dispatch from Admiral Dowey : Secretary of tho Navy. "V.ishlnfiton: Reqtilro 3tXa) sieel ceiling baskets. , DEWEY. As this was tho only dispatch that had been received from Admiral Dewey since that of Friday, which caused such excitement, oradals found a. good deal of MlmfAPl In Ih. ...fr.llv. fnnt tt Avhlhlt.'lt ' that evidently nothing very exciting lit the 'naval line 'had occurred at Manila since tho Immediate presence of the Ore. gon had been requested for "political reasons." But at tho same time every one was as much In the dark regarding the admiral's request for such a large number of ar. tide that havo never been used by the navy as 'they were three day ago re. gardlng the urgent necessity for the Ore. gon's presence. There was much speculation a to why Admiral Dewey could not purchase all the ordinary coal baskets he wanted In Hongkong and there was a. disposition to question whether he would be able to use mora than 1000 basket tf he had them. Officers with great experienc In coal. Ing ships doubted If the Admiral would ever require at one time more than 100 laborers, each with a basket, considering the character of the wharfug facilities at Cavlto, while a larger number of coal heavers might crowd each other off the little wharf. Officer who coaled ships much of the time In the West Indies in the reoent war say they havo never seen any steel baskets. Heavy bags holding eight or ten bushels were used most of tho time and especially from lighter alongside where baskets had been used. They were of the ordinary construction, costing about 10 cents each and having the ad- dltlonal advantage of floating- when they fell overboard, as they frequently fl;a It la believed that some of the foreign ships at Manila must be equipped with baskets made of steel -which have at. traoted Admiral Dewey's favorable no tice, for none are known In the commis sary In this country. Patent bakott of the smaller slie have more than once been pressed on th notice of the navy authorities but they have not been pur. chased on account of two serlou objec tlons, that of gTtat expense and Inability to float.
