Washington, May 20.-So far the
Navy Department knows nothing ex-
cept in the most general way OF the it.
inerary of Admiral Dewey's cruise from
Manila to New York. He has reported
simply that he will come by the Suez
route and has not indicated officially
how long he will take in making the
trip. The actual departure of the
Olympia was made known in the fol-
lowing five words coming by cable from
Captain Barker at Manila:
olympia, Hong Kong. Assumed
command"
The understanding at the Navy De
partment is that the Admiral will
spend about two weeks at Hong Kong,
for the Olympia is to be locked and her
drab war paint must be covered with
the spotless white which makes the
American naval ship the most beautiful
in the world. In the absence of other
information it is assumed that the
Olympia from Hong Kong will follow
the usual course of warships coming
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

fire the boilers in the intensely hot
passage through that sea and the Suez
canal Stops will be made of neces-
sity at Suez and at Port Said. 1t is as
sumed that Malta will be touched and
perhaps Genoa or Nice before reaching
Gibraltar. Leaving the Mediterranean,
the Olympia will stand straight across
the Atlantic, though she may put in at
Azores for two days.
The time that should be occupied by
such a trip is variously estimated by
naval officers, but the average is about
seventy days from to-day. However,
the public will soon be able to get
more accurate knowledge of the itin-
erary. for within a few days the Navy
Department will be in possession of
the schedule OF the ships movements.

Cleveland, Ohio. May 2O.-A double
wedding which occurred near Malinta,
to-day, was not without a tinge of ro-
nance. IN fact. it was decidedly
unique. Two daughters of Henry
Dipcomb had for some time been re-
ceiving the attentions of couple of
young men from Fulton county. The
daughters are Frances and Mary. The
former finally becoming engaged to
George Lafiam. and the latter to his
boon companion, Davis Rendice. A
double wedding was decided upon.
Great preparations had been made at
the house, and relatives and friends
were invited. The boys went to
Dipcomb's home and to their surprise
found Mary quite disconsolated, al
though making evident effort to keep
up bravely and appear cheerful at
least. Her sister finally insisted that
the cause of her sadness be made
huONu, duu after SOulS 06SlJdIlOn,
with many tears, she said that she
could not marry Rendice, because she
loved Lafiam better. Her sister was
amazed, but mutual condolences were
passed and Frances admitted that she
thought as much of one of the young
men as she did of the other. 1t was
finally determined to call in the young
men and all four to talk over the stu
alton, without saying anything to the
old folks or to the guests. The upshot
OF the whole matter was that there
were mutual releases and mutual new
engagements, and in a short time
Lafiam was bethrothed to Mary while
Frances had promised herself to Rem
dice.
Another complication then arose.
The young men quickly hitched up one
of their horses to single buggy and
drove to the county seat, where new
licenses were secured. There was a
double wedding at the Dipcomb home
late that evening, but many of the
guests were at loss to understand the
situation until the mother of the girls
made full explanations,

Manila, May 20.-The cruiser Olym-
pia, with Admiral Dewey on board, left
here on her homeward journey TO the
United States at 4 o'clock this after
noon.
AS she steamed away the Oregon,
Baltimore and Concord fired an admir-
ais salute. At the first shot the band
on the fiagship's after deck played a
lively air and her whitehead sailors
crowded the decks and gave a tremen-
dous cheer.
As the Olympia passed the Oregon
the crew of the battlesnip gave nine
cheers for the Olympians, who respond
ed by throwing their caps so high that
dozens OF them were left boiling in the
wake Of the cruiser. Then followed
the noisiesi half hour known in this
harbor since the battle which linked its
name with that of Dewey.
The line of guns and the brass bands
echoed through the smoke and the
steam launches shrieked their whistles,
the musicians of the Baltimore played
home, sweet Home, her flags s4g-
nailed Goodbye and those OF the
oregon said Pleasant Voyage"
Inc merchant vessels in these waters
dipped their flags, the ladies on the
decks OF the vessels of the fleet waved
handkerchiefs and the great, black
British cruiser Powerful, which lay the
furthest out, saluted the olympia. The
latters band then played God Save
the queen, and to this tne crew OF the
Powerful responded with hearty cheers
for the Olympia. The last music heard
from Admiral DeWey's ship was Aud
Lang SayAe, while the guns from the
foiCs at Cavite and from the Monterey,
on guard off Paranaque, too far Oft TO
be audible, punea white clouds OF
smoke.
The Olympia was disappearing past
Corregidor Island when a battery be-
fore the walled city spoke Manila last
words of farewell.
Admiral Dewey sat on the deck of
the Olympia and received the adieux of
his friends during most OF the day
The launch OF Major General Otis was
the first to arrive alongside the cruiser
at O'Clock this morning, and after
wards the Admiral landed and called
upon the Major General and the United
States Philippine commissioners.
Admiral Dewey is enthusiastic over
his home-going, but when mention
was made of the welcome to be extend
ed to him he said he appreciated the
friendship of his countrymen deeply
but hoped they would not be too
demonstrative. He intends to go
directly to his home at Montpelier, VT.
and live there.
On it be- g said that the people
wanted him - go nome by way of San
Francisco across the continent, the Ad-
miral replied: IF | was twenty years
younger and had political ambitions l
would not miss that chance"
Speaking of the situation, Admiral
Dewey said: Il believe we are near
the end. The insurgents are fast going
to pieces. The sending of a third COM
mission shows that they believe the
Americans mean business

So he was relieved and goes home

very much in doubt. 1t is Senator Quay
against the field, and the indications
are that there viii be deadlock last

Democrats are united on George a.

The senate and house voted seoar-
ately this afternoon. and Will take a
ballot tomorrow in joint session. There
was no election today Quay's total
strength in both houses was III votes,
sixteen less than the number necessary
to elect on joint ballot, assuming that
the full membership of 254 is present,
condition that does not seem possible.
as there are several on the sick list
now.
The result OF the vote today was no
surprise TO those familiar with the sit
uation. The first ballot shows that
there is practically no break in the line
of either of the Republican factions.
The essence of the situation is that
so long as the anti-Quay Republicans
are united and the Democrats vote Ter
jerks. Senator Quay cannot be re-elect-
ed. His friends are confident, however,
that ne will steadily gain votes after
tomorrow. while the leaders of the
other side are just as confident that he
has reached the highwater mark.
The anti-Quay Republican senator's
and members have agreed to meet
daily until the fight is settled. They are
divided on Congressman Dalzell and
Stone and other independent Repub-
licans. Their leaders say it is too early
to concentrate on one candidate against
Senator Quay. There does not seem to
be any prospect of a combination be-
tween the anti-Quay Republicans and
the Democrats.
Although not a single vote was cast
in either house for Senator Chris L.
Magee of Pittsburg, he is regarded as a
most important factor in the contest.
Many of Senator Magee's friends in
both factions are predicting that their
favorite will be chosen to succeed Sen
atOr Quay in the event of il being dem
onstrated that the latter cannot win.

PHILIPPINE OPPORTUNITIES.
Chances For Capital, Skilled Mechan-

climate, can live on the native foods
ana are in every other way more fitted
to perform the labor of the country
IMAM Americans, and laboring men are
warned TO give the islands a wide berth

Modern street car lines and modern
railroads would earn big dividends.
Only the most primitive affairs now
exist, and even though the cars are I'M
comfortable and slow, they are crowd
ed with passengers from morning TO
night with the exception of the few
hours during the hot part of the day
Construction would be comparatively
easy and cheap, owing to the level ma
ture Of the most settled portions. Elec-
trio power would have to be genera ted
by steam.
A modern telephone exchange would
be an Improvement, but present condi
tions do not warrant too vast an extern
sion in this line. Mechanics skilled in
their trades would do well in the grow
ing country. Inc native InecnanlcS are
very skillful, but work only with the
crudest of tools modern appliances be-
ing almost unknown. There are only
two blacksmiths in Manila Five Amer
lean carriage makers with modern ma
chinery could do as much work in a
day as thirty natives. There are no less
than 200 Filipino carriage shops in the
field. and they all do well. Americans
would have little difficulty in getting
control of the trade An elaborate ice
plant is becoming a necessity. The ice
made here is of poor quality and the
supply falls far short of the demand.
The manufacturer gets cents a pound
for his product. A good American hotel
is one of Manila's most urgent needs.
Modern beds and fixtures are a neces-
sity. Many private residences are now
thrown open to transients because the
hotel accommodations are so poor

otherwise, will find a good field for the

The place is very unhealthy, and the
