Dewey cables the Navy Department
that he has sailed with the Olympia
from Manila to Honekong So far the

cept in the most general way of the
itinerary OF Admiral Deweys 5 cruise
from Manila to New York. lie has re-
ported simply that he will come by rhe
Suez route. and has not Indicated Of
Gcially how long he will take IN max
ing the trip. The actual departure of
the Olympia was made known in the
following four words coming by cable
from Capt. Barker AT Manila:

partment is that the Admiral will
spend about two weeks ot uonrkora
for the Olympia is to be docked on,
her drab war paint must be covered
with spotless white.
