Manila, May 13.-6:20 p. m.-Admiral
Dewey will leave for the United States
as soon as he can arrange his business
here and give full instructions for the
management of the fleet to his sue
cessor. The United States cruiser Olym-
pia, upon which Admiral Dewey will
make the voyage home, will sail a leis-
urely trip, stopping at Mediterranean
ports for some time to give the admiral,
the officers of the ship and the crew an
opportunity for rest.
Like all the Olympias company Ad-
miral Dewey is much run down by his
long stay in the tropical ports. The
Olympia will proceed to Hong Kong to
be painted white and to coal and pro-
vision for the long journey. Dewey
expects to retain his position on the
Philippine commission.
The F'llipinos have resumed the at
tempt to induce the Americans to dis
cuss the situation. Reys, a young lieu 4
tenant on the staff of Gen. Gregory
DELPHI, came to General Lawton to-day
under a flag of truce. He was accom-
panied by bugler. The two were es-
corted to Manila by Captain Sewell of
General Lawtons staff. Reyes told
Otis that Aguinaldo desired passes for
a military commission to come to Ma.
Mia to confer with the American Phil
ippine commissioners. Otis replied that
passes would not be necessary as un-
armed commissioners could enter Amer
lean lines. He would leave the matter,
he said. in General Lawton's hands.
Lieutenant Reyes returned this evening

act In the drama which will necessarily
dlsperse the Filipinos. The rebels are
so close to San Fernando as to make
life in that place uncomfortable while
they remain there. The armies of the
United States have advanced so far that
the question Of transportation has be-
come great problem. To solve it the
engineers are repairing the Bagbag
bridge, so that it will be safe for the
passage of trains and give railroad con-
nection between Manila and San Fer
nando. In the meantime supplies
shipped to Calumpit have to be hauled
10 miles to General Macarthur at San
Fernando, and 20 miles to General Law
ton at Bacolor by bullock carts, and ev-
cry cart has to be ferried separately on
a raft across the Rio Grande two or
three times. The roads are rough, and
after the daily showers. which are fore
runners of the rainy season. so soft that
it is impossible to make more than a
mile an hour The few mules that are
here have been found to be greatly su-
perior to the bullocks for this work The
latter die unless they are given frequent
baths, and the heat has killed so many
