CRUISER OLYMPIA AT SUEZ.
Admiral Dewey Said to be Feeling
Well and Looking In Excel
lent Condition.

Sucz, July 13.-The United States
cruiser Olympia, from Colombo, Cey-
lon, June 2S, has arrived here.
Admiral Dewey, on his arrivel, said
he was in very good health. He ap-
peared to be in excellent condition,
which was also the case with his Off
GERS and men. Most of them have suf-
fered from malarial fever, but have
now quite recovered. The Olympia
has been quarantined, no direct COM
munication with the shore being al
lowed. Consequently the press repre-
sentative here was only able to con-
verse with the admiral from launch
alongside the cruiser. After passing
through the canal, the Olympia will
call at Trieste. Thereafter the ad-
miral's plans are uncertain. Possibly
he will go to Gibraltar, and thence to
New York.

THE VESSELS SPAIN LOST.
Efforts to Secure the Refna Merce-
des and other Spanish War
Craft Being Made by Spain.

Washington, July 13.-An offer from
a prominent firm of ship brokers, do
ing a large foreign business, to pur-
chase the Reina Mercedes and any and
all of the war craft captured during
the late war, has aroused a suspicion
that Spain is trying in this indirect
manner to obtain possession of the
vessels and thus remove the offense to
Spanish pride caused by the floating
of the American flag over her ships.
The offer mentioned no figures, but
simply requested that the navy depart
ment name its price for the Mercedes
and the remainder of the captured
Spanish ships. The navy department
will not sell any of these vessels, and
writer of the letter. Secretary Long
has decided that it would not pay to
attempt to renovate the Mercedes and
use her as a warship. The cost would
be no less than half million dollars,
and the ship would, when repaired, be
of old type and not up to the require
ments of a modern naval ship. There
fore the repairs to be made on her will
be confined to a little painting and
cleaning and patching and the Mer-
cedes will be left as show ship, like
the old Constitution, to crafty the pa
triotism of the American people.

Gated directly in front of the Ameri-

railway will run from Clarendon to
Brussels, so that passengers may trav-
el by either water or rail on American

varies in different sections, but on the
whole prospects are more fiattering
since the recent rains. In some locali-

In some sections early corn is made.
Cotton is in various stages OF advance
