Chicago, May l3.-From the wording
of cablegram received yesterday from
Admiral Dewey by the Illinois Manu-
facturers association, the health of the
admiral, despite medical assurance to
the contrary, is none of the best, and
to this fact is due his probable re-
turn by way of the Suez canal, instead
Of the Pacific coast route. The mes
sage Is as follows:
MANY thanks. Impossible to accept
invitation now. The condition of my
health necessitates rest and quiet.
Dewey"
The cabegram was in reply to one
sent by the association asking the adj
miral to become it's guest upon his re-
turn to this country, and strongly urg-
ing upon him the ACCESSIBILITY Of COM
ing by the way of San Francisco and
across the continent.
Watson Sails Tuesday.
Washington, May 3D. Admiral
Watson Will sail from San Francisco
next Tuesday on Pacific mail steam
ship, reaching Manila June To- In
order to provide for the direction OF
naval affairs in the Asatlc waters be-
tween the date of Admiral DeWey's
departure and the arrival of Watson,
orders have been issued placing Capt.
Barker in command of the squadron
after Dewey's departure until relieved
by Watson.
New York Times Scheme.
New York, May 13.-rhe Times in
an editorial entitled What Shall We
DO for Dewey says today: There is
a persistent and prevailing feeling
that we ought in some unofficial and
spontaneous way recognize the SER
vices of Dewey as the British nation
officially recognized the services OF
Wellington, when it presented him
with the estate of Strathfieldsay. Why
not appeal directly to the public
through its immediate organs and
agents, the newspapers, which get their
livings by representing it's sentiments?
There are some 10000 periodicals in
the United States which are entitled
to transmission as such through the
mails. Among them are 2,119 daily
papers, which represent, most imme
diately and most accurately, the SEN
timent of the United States. 1t is
reasonable to assume that one-fourth
of these would act as collecting and
distributing agents for a national Dew
ey testimonial and that each one of
these 500 is willing to pledge itself to
the collection from it's readers and
transmission to appointed trustees, of
a sum of $500 for a fund. Surely this
estimate Is moderate enough, yet the
aggregate would be $250,000. Half of
this should go to the erection of a res
idence for the admiral in whatever
place in the United States he might
prefer and the other half for his per-
sonal use. This would be truly ma
tional and popular subscription and
the admiral would not be at liberty to
refuse, since it would not be the crea-
ton OF an obligation on his part, but
Il recognition of an obligation on the
part Of the nation. He would not be
able to refuse it If the whole amount
were deposited, as it could and should
be deposited, subject to his order be-
fore his arrival upon his native shores.
The president of the United States,
secretary of state and secretary of the
treasury would be appropriate GUS
todians of the fund"
