[We are Informed by Mr. R. Wildman, U.S. Consul-General, that Admiral Dowey requested that the Oregon med Brooklyn should be sent out and the Neral Department contemplated doleg so. Now, it appears that the low, one of the most powerful U.S. battleships, is coming to the place of the Brooklyn. The reason for Admiral Dewey's "argent request" is not quite clear but we do not think it has. any special significance. It might be that Admiral Dewey wishes to have a more formal dable forcs with which to demonstrate against the offensive attitude and "sbilly shallying' ci the rebels and to prove to them the useless- best of opportlon. There has not been any. thlug serious in the way of complications lih lotelgo powers to jastly thle" urgent" request for re-inforcement, especially as very friendly and cordial relations exist between the U.S. and German Governments-Ed.
