REACHES SUEZ.
Admiral Dewey's- Ship Enters the
Canal-Says He Is i'm Very
Good Health.

Suez, July 13.-The Olympia has en-
tered the canal. Admiral Dewey, on his
arrival here, on board the Olympia,
said he was in very good health. He
appeared to be in excellent condition,
which was also the case with the Of
ficers and men. Most of them have suf-
fered from malarial fever, but have now
quite recovered. The Olympia has
been quarantined, no~direct communi-
cation with the shore being allowed.
Consequently the representative here
of the press was only able to converse
with the admiral from launch along
side the cruiser. After passing through
the canal the Olympia will call at Tri-
este. Thereafter the admira's plans
are uncertain. Possibly he will go to
Gibraltar, and thence to New York.
