DEWEY'S HEALTH IMPROVES.

Hong Kong, May 30.-Since his ar
rival here on May 23rd on board his flag
ship, the United States cruiser Olympia,
Admiral Dewey has improved in health,
but he still refuses all invitations of Il
social nature. The Admiral has also re-
linquishcd all official duty on board the
Olympia. The date of his departure for
home is still uncertain. hiNs, intention
being to remain here until he has thor
oughly recuperated.
The programme for the Olympia's voy-
age to the United States has noG been
definitely decided upon. 1t has been de-
termined, however, to make a stop at
the Piraeus, from which port Admiral
Dewey will go to Athens to pay his re-
spects to King George of Greece.
PLAGUE MAY DELAY DEWEY.
London, May 3o.-The plague is
likely to complicate the home coming
of Admiral Dewey. Various govern
ments have already declared severe
quarantine regulations against all
Egyptian Red Sea ports and Hong
Kong, where the fresh cases and Il
number of deaths have nearly doubled
in the past week. the new eases nula-
bering 143 and the deaths 1874.
BY the time Admiral Dewey arrives
at the Mediterranean, his ship, if
there are no cases aboard, will prob
ably be regarded an immune and the
inspectors will pass her without de-
Law.
