Manila, May 22.-Amid the booming
of big guns, the cheers from thousands
of lusty throats and the strains OF mar
tial music the cruiser Olympia, with
Admiral Dewey aboard, sailed from Ma
Mia Saturday afternoon on its home

big British cruiser Powerful joined in
the noisy demonstration, while the
forts at Manila and Cavite roared out
farewell salutes TO the man who had
one year ago defied their deadly fire.
The Olympia will proceed TO Hong

and generally overhauled. With her
war paint covered over by the coat of
white, the official color of the United
States warship she will resume the
long voyage for home, by way of the
Suez canal.
Health Demands His Return.
Just before sailing Admiral Dewey
said if he could have consulted his in
clination he would have remained here
till peace was established. His health,
however, demanded his return. One of
the things that touched him most
among all the expressions of feeling
from the people at home, he said, was
the raising of a subscription in his ma
tive state to build bronze statue of
himself to be placed in the state house
at Montpelier. opposite a statue Of
Ethan Allen.
All Fire Farewell SaIutes.
The Olympia left here at four o'clock
in the afternoon. AS she steamed away

shot the band on the flagship's after
deck played a lively air and her white
clad sailors crowded the decks and gave
tremendous cheer.
AS the Olympia passed the Oregon
>the crew of that battleship gave nine
cheers for the Olympians who respond
ed by throwing their caps so high that
dozens of them were left bobbng in
the wake of the cruiser. Then followed
the noisiest half hour known in this
harbor since the battle which linked its
name with that of Dewey The din of
guns and brass bands echoed through
the smoke, fleet of steam launches
shrielIed their whistles. the musicians
of the Baltimore played ''Home, Sweet
Home" her flags signaled "good-by"
and those of the Oregon said: "Pleas-
ant voyage.
Admiral Dewey was enthusiastic over
his home-going, but when mention was
made of the welcome TO be extended to
him he said that he appreciated the
friendship of his countrymen deeply,
but hoped that they would not be too
demonstrative. He intends 10 go direct
ly to his home at Montpelier, VT, and
live there. On it being said that people
wanted him to GO home by way of San
Francisco and across the continent, the
admiral replied: ''If l was 20 years
younger, and had political ambitions, !
would not miss that chance"
Speaking of the situation, Admiral
Dewey said: 81 believe that we are near
the end. The insurgents are fast going
TO pieces. The sending of third COM
mission shows that they believe that
this commission means business"

Americans Expect Definite Peace
Propositions from the Filipino
Government Soon.
PURPOSE OF LEADERS IS MADE KNOWN.
Two Delegates I'm Conversation with
American Officers State the Native
Forces Have Been Ready for -Four
Days to Surrender ON Any Terms
Americans Would Oner.

Manila, May 2O.-Definite peace prop
ositions from the Filipino government
are imminent. The Americans posi-
lively have entire control of the situa-
ton The purpose of the Filipino lead
ers TO give up the struggle against
American authority was made known
by two delegates of the Filipino peace
commission who remained in San lsidro
when it was captured and surrendered
to Lawton's advance guard.
Peace on Any Terms.
In conversation with American Of
ficers they state that the Filipino forces
have been for the last four days willing
TO secure peace on any terms that Gen.
Otis might see fit TO offer. They de-
clare that Gen. Lawton, by his rapid
and energetic advance from Balinag,
has not allowed their forces a moments
cessation from fighting.
May Repudiate Aguinaido.
The delegates add, as their most i'm
portant information, that Aguinaldo
himself will sue for peace through the
peace commission within two days. If
he does not so act the Filipino govern
ment will promptly repudiate him, as
four-fifths of the natives are weary of
the war and desire the early ending of
hostilities.
No New Proposals.
Two military and two civil Filipino
commissioners, appointed to cooperate
with three citizens of Manila in negoti-
ating terms of peace, arrived here to-
day. They have submitted no new
propositions, but want an armistice
pending the session of the Filipino con-
gress. Maj. Gen. Otis has refused to
entertain the proposal.
Quietly at Work.
Thepublic has heard little of the Phil
ippine commission, of which DR.. Schur-
man is president, but it has been quiet
ly at work TO pave the way for better
understanding. 1t has invited many
representative natives to confer with it,
and through them has sent reassuring
planned the purpose of the United
States to give the natives as much
home rule as possible, and it has stim-
ulated a sentiment for peace among
the Tagalos.
The Fighting Ceases.
Manila, May 22.-Maj. Gen. Otis has
declined TO recognize the rebels TO the
extent of agreeing TO an armistice, but
he has notified the American command
ers to refrain temporarily from aggres-
sive action. Thus he is in a position to
resume hostilities at any time.
without Power to Act.
The Filipino commissioners who ar
rived here on Saturday to negotiate
with the United States commissioners
held n conference this morning with
Messrs. Schurman, Worcester and Den
by. They say they are without power
to bind the so-called Filipino govern
ment in any particular, and can only
refer any results of the present nego-
tiations to Aguinaldo. All the mon
eyed leaders of the insurrection see
that it is hopeless, and are anxious for
peace. Those who want money think
they may profit by harassing the Amer
leans awhile longer.
