notice given out at the navy depart
ment today.
This Is the first formal indication that
the famous flagship is coming home I'M

.tained that Secretary Long last evening
rabled Admiral Dewey permission to re-
turn al once 10 the United States He
has been relieved OF the obligation of re-
naming al Manila until the Philippines
commission completes its work. He IS
not even required 10 await the cessation

department amounts TO the Information
that the Olympia will not remain long
enough to receive the next outward mail.
The Mr.. Stevens referred TO is the navy
departments agent at London 10 dis
tribute all OF the mail for United States
warshps In European waters, so he win
see to 1t that the Olympia receives hers
as soon as she passes the SueZ canal.

lL-Sir: am In receipt OF your tele-
gram with regard to the return OF Ad-
mirai Dewey. and expressing the desire
that he first arrive In the country at
New York. The time OF his return has
not been fixed, and the department takes
no other action than TO authorize his
return whenever the condition Of the
peace commission will permit. As to the
route he shall take in returning, the de-
partment is inclined to leave that to
him. He has served with great ability
and must necessarily feel so much the
effect OF his arduous labors in that try
ing climate. and under such trying cir
cumstances, that the department is dis
posed to let him govern himself in this
respect largely by consideration Of his
own personal convenience and wishes.
1t is understood, however, that Admiral
Dewey will elect to return to New YORK.
Very respectfully,

SLOAN'S RIDING BACKED
BY AMERICAN PLUNGERS.
Fabulous Sums Bet on the Turning OF a
Hair to the Surprise Of Eng
llsh Sportsmen.

NEW YORK May l2,-A dispatch TO
the World from London, describing the
racing OF Thursday at Newmarket, says:
While Tod Sloan was doing his best on
the track his admirers were backing him
like men possessed In the ring. First
among these was Riley Grammar. the
kentucky plunger. Grammar started of
by winning a neat sum on Florio Rubba-
tlno in the FIRST race, bet the entire
amount on the second and was more
Than 100000 winner when the odds for
the Breeders plate, the third race were
posted.
Grammar stuck to Slco~ throughout the
day and must have lost fair-slzes sum
on Tod's losing mounts. Some estimate
his losses In the latter part of the after
noon at about $4,000 and Charles Dwyers'
at 81 Goa Grammar is believed to have
won more than $9OOOOO on the first three
races, so he doubtless won about Sl25,OO
on the day.
The manner in which Grammar bets fab
ous sums literally on the turning Of a
hair and never betrays the least excite
ment or nervousness is puzzling TO the
average British turf follower
