A ROUSING SEND-0FF.
Bands Play and Cannons Roar---Will Stay
Two Weeks In China and Will Con-
sumo Seventy Days Coming Home
---Says Filipino War Is
About Over.

The actual departure Of the Olympia
was made known in the following five
word telegram coming by cable from
Capt Barker at Manila: Olympia,
Hong Kong. Assumed command"
The understanding at the navy de-
partment is that the admiral VIII spend
about two weeks at Hong Kong, for
the Olympia Is to be docked and her
dark gray war paint must be covered
with the spotless white which makes
the American naval ship the most beau
tiful in the world. In the absence of
other information it is assumed that
the Olympia from Hong Kong will fol-
low the course of other war ships COM
ing home by way Of the Suez canal. She
will touch first after Hong Kong at
Singapore, then at Colombo, then, per-
haps at Alden at the entrance of the
Red sea, to take on crew of Lascars,
to fire the boilers in the intensely hot
passage through the sea and the Suez
canal.
Stops will be made if necessary at
Suez and at Port Said. 1t is assumed
chat Malta will be touched, and per-
haps Genoa or Nice, before reaching
Gibraltar. Leaving the Mediterranean
the Olympia viii stand straight across
the Atlantic, though she may put in at
the Azores for two days, The time that
should be occupied for such trip is
variously estimated by naval officers
but the average is about 70 days from
today However, the public will soon
be able to get a more accurate idea Of
the itinerary for within a few DAYS the
navy department will be in possession
of schedule Of the ships move
ments.
The cable dispatch from Gen. Otis
today indicates to the war department
that the commission which is now in
Manila will accomplish nothing because
1t has no authority to negotiate for ac-
tual peace. The Importance of the
visit of the commission is the evident
desire of the Filipinos to end hostilities.
There is an impression conveyed also
that Aguinaldo is playing for time in
his request. No instructions or sugges.
tions will be sent Gen. Otis by the de-
partment. The officials are confident
he has the matter well in hand and is
the better able to Judge what to do.
From the manner in which Gen. Otis
has handled past negotiations with the
Filipinos there is little doubt that he
will refuse the request for the armistice
asked. The position of the American
troops in the Philippines is such as
to render 1t possible to inflict great da-
mage on the FilipiRos without serious
loss to our forces. Gen. Otis, being

forces or to impress the Filipino peo-
pie with evidence of an Importance
which they do not possess.
