GratUriBK to the Ofllclals. Washington, May 12.—The cables from Gen. Otis were gratifying to the officials of the war department Portions of the dispatch regarding the situation were not made public, relating, it is understood, to prospective movements. The cable regarding the return of the volunteers indicates that the troops are making no clamor to be sent home, but see the necessity of remaining until they can be relieved by the regulars now on their way, and to be sent to Manila as soon as they can be shipped. Gen; Otis says the troops to be sent first are in the island of Negros, and at the front This no doubt means the California regiment, which is probably in Negros, and it is ^known that the Oregon regiment is l^with Gen. Lawton somewhere in the vicinity of Maasin. Insurgents Landed Machine runs.

The Hero of the Battle of Manila Bay Will Soon Return to the United States. 7 OLYMPIA'S MAIL ORDERED TO LONDON. Kc York Will, Therefore, Hove the Hoior of Exteoilig the First W elcome Home to the Admiral-* Secretory Look*. Reiponte to Mayor Vaa Wyck*. Heiuge. Washington, May 13.—“Send Olympia’s mail to B. F. Stevens .No. 4 Trafalgar Square, London, England,” is a notice given out at the navy department. This is the first formal indication that the famous flagship is coming home immediately. Upon inquiry it was ascertained that Secretary Long had, Thursday evening, cabled Ad- I miral Dewey permission to return at once to the United States. He has ' been relieved of the obligation of remaining at Manila until the Philippine commission completes its work. ' Will he Home hy July 4. It is estimated at the navy department that Admiral Dewey will reach the United States in time for a national demonstration on the Fourth of July next. The Olympia will not come under full steam, but, nevertheless, she should make the run to New York in about 55 days from Manila. That she is to come to New York is nearly certain, as shown by the following response made by Secretary Long to the urgent message of invitation to Admiral Dewey from Mayor Van Wyck of New York. It may be steated that this was sent before the notice was sent to Dewey that he might come home at once:

Secretary Lons'* Dispatch. “Navy Department, Washington, D. C., May 11.—Sir: I am in receipt ol your telegram, and expressing a desire that he arrive first in the country at New York. The time of his return has not been fixed, and tne department has taken no other action than to authorize his return whenever the condition of the peace commissior shall permit. As to the route he shall take in returning, the department is inclined to leave Hurt to him. He has necessarily feel so, much the effect of his arduou labors in a trying climate, and under trying circumstances, that govern himself in this respect largely by the consideration of his own personal convenience and wish. It is understood, however, that Admiral Dewey will elect to return to New York. “Very respectfully, I “JOHN D. LONG, Secretary. " Hon. Robert A. Van Wyck, mayor of the city of New York. Admiral Watson to Sail Tuesday. Admiral Watson will sail from San Francisco next Tuesday as a passenger on one of the regular Pacific Mail steamships, but can not possibly reach Manila before the middle of June. Orders have been issued placing Capt. A. S. Barker in command of the Asiatic squadron after Admiral Dewey’s departure until relieved by Rear-Admiral Watson. Capt. Barker the Senior Officer. v Capt. Barker is now in comand of the battleship Oregon, the pride of the navy, and next to Admiral Dewey is the senior officer on the station. He is an officer of ability and discretion and may be depended on to take good care of the interests of the United States. He was assistant chief of the bureau of navigation during Admiral Dewey’s term of office, and a member of the naval war or strategy board during the Spanish war. At the close of the war he relieved Capt. Clark of command of the battleship Oregon, and took that magnificent war ship from New York around the Horn to Callao, Peru, and thence, by way of Honolulu, to Manila, where she arrived several weeks ago. As soon as relieved of command of the Asiatic squadron by Rear-Admiral Watson, about the middle of June, Capt. Barker wilL start for home under a leave of absence granted a few days ago.

DEWEY NEEDS REST AND QUIET Or, is This but » Scheme to Avoid Notoriety, "Which the Admiral Very Mach Dislikes. Chicago, May 13.—Judging from a cablegram received yesterday from Admiral Dewey, his health, despite medical assurance to the contrary, is none of the best, and to this fact is due his probable return by way of the Suez canal instead of the Pacific coast route. The message is as follows: “Illinois Manufacturers’ Association, Chicago—Many thanks. Impossible to accept invitation now. Condition of health necessitates rest and quiet. - “DEWEY.” The cablegram was in reply to ona sent by the association to become its guest on his return to this country, and strongly urging upon him Yhe advisability of coming by way of San Francisco, and across the continent. f Won hy Miss Heslett. London, May 13.—The ladies* open golf championship was concluded yes* terday at New Castle, County Down.

M*K1NLEY AT HOT SPRINGS. DltiwlrkM from Otis A Patrlotla Tradfr-Spcal a Quiet SnndayIDrpartnm end Arrivals. Hot Springs, Va~ May 15.—Secretary Alger forwarded to the president yesterday some dispatches from Gen. Otia, They advised him that another peace commission from Aguinaldo was on its way to Manila to discuss terms of peace. No instructions were sent from here to Gen. Otis, the policy being, aa heretofore, to leave matters entirely in his hands. The dispatches also told of ill-usage suffered by "Spaniards from the insurgents at Zamboanga, one of the smaller islands of the Philippine group. It may become necessary to send a light-draught navalvessel there. No immediate action, however, will be taken as diplomatic questions are involved, and Gen. Otis will be left to deal with the subject as he sees fit. Nebraska Patriotism Not Dead. Col. Victor Vifquain has tendered to the- president the services of the Thin! Nebraska regiment, which has been mustered out, but is willling to re-enlist to take the place of the First Nebraska, now in Luzon, but soon to return to this country. Mr. McKin- ] ley thanked the regiment for its patriotic motives, and said that its offer would be kept in mind should it ever again be necessary to enlist more volunteers. , The President’s Sabbath. The president spent a quiet Sunday. In the morning he attended services I at the Presbyterian church, near by. j The sermon was delivered by Dr. White, the regular pastor of the church. It was simple in character, and did not touch on the president and national affairs. Left for Washington.

Last night Secretary Gage and Mrs. Gage left here for Washington withv Mrs. P. B. Shumwav, Miss Raymond* i P. B. Shumway and Wm. G. Hoag, of Evanston, 111., as their guests. Late Arrivals. The comptroller of the currency and Mrs. Dawes arrived on the late train Saturday night expecting to remain over Sunday, but Mr. McKinley has pursuaded them . to remain longer. Though no definite plans have been made, it is hot unlikely that the president and Mrs. McKinley may leave for Washington Thursday or Friday. WILL COME HOME LEISURELY. Admiral Dewey -Will Take Mia Time Comlag Home on Hta Flagship, the Olympia. Manila, May 13, 6:20 p. m.—Admiral Dewey will leave for the Unied States as soon as he can arrange his business here and give full instructions for the management of the fleet to his successor. The United States cruiser Olympia, upon which Admiral Dewey will make the voyage home, will sail a leisurely trip, stopping at Mediterranean ports for some time to give the admiral, the officers of the ship and the crew an opportunity for rest. Like all the Olympia’s company, Admiral Dewey is run down by his long stay in a tropical port without change, and under the rigid conditions incident to a war footing. All are delighed at the prospect of returning home. The officers have had little shore leave, and have betfn obliged always to be on ship board by sundown. The crew have had still less leave, and show the effect of a year spent on a hot ship under an ervating sun. The Olympia will proceed from Manila to Hong Kong, where a fortnight will be spent in transforming the mud color which she was painted, to white, having up to this time been unable to comply with the department's order to take; on white paint. At Hong Kong the cruiser will be coaled and provisioned for her further journey. Admiral Dewey expects to retain his position on the United States Philippine commission. A LOVING CUP PRESENTED.

It will be kept with the ship's silver service Three Thousand Happy Men.
