DEWEY'S HEALTH.
Cables from Him Indicate that It Is Not OF
the Best.

Chicago. May l2.-Judsing from the
wording of a cablegram received 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.
To this fact is due his probable return
by way of the Suez canal, instead of
the Pacific coast route. The message is
as follows:
Many thanks. Impossible to accept
invitation now. Condition of health
necessitates rest and quiet"
The cahlegram was in reply to one
sent by the association asking the 'ad-
miral to become its guest upon his re-
turn to this country and urging strong
ly upon him the advisa bility of com
ing by way of San Francisco and
across the continent.

the notice given out at the navy de-

Upon inquiry it was ascertained that
Secretary Long had. last evening
cabled Admiral Dewey permission 70
return at once to the United States. He
has been relieved Of the obligation of
remaining at Manila until the Philip
pine commission completes its work. He
is not even required to await the cessa-
ton Of hostilities, but may start home

The notice posted at the navy depart

1t is estimated at the navy depart
ment that Dewey will reach the United
States in time for a national demon
stration on the Fourth of July next.
The Olympia will not come under full
steam. but nevertheless. she should
make the run to New York in about s.
days from Manila. That she is to come
to New York is nearly certain. as
shown by the following response by
Sec Long to the urgent message Of in
vtation to Dewey from Mayor Van
Wyck of New York. 1t may be stated
that this was sent before the notice was
sent to Dewey that he might come
home at once:
Sir: | am in recent of your tele-
gram with regard to the return Of Ad-
miral Dewey, and expressing a desire
that he arrive first in the country at
New York. The time Of his return has
not been fixed. and the department has
taken no action other than to authorize
his return whenever the condition of
the peace commission will permit As
to the route he shall take in returning.
the department is inclined to leave that
to him.
He has served with great ability. and
must necessarily. feel SO much the ef-
feet of his arduous Iabors in trying
and under trying circumstances
that the department is disposed to let
him govern himself in this respect
largely by the consideration of his own
convenience and wish. 1t is understood
however, that Admiral Dewey will elect
to return to New York.

A Comedy OF Errors.

There was an accident on Portland
street the other day. and this Is how It
happened: a tramp walking up the
street saw benevolent looking wheel
man riding down and started to head
him OF. Just then dog on the same
side OF the street noticed cat on the
opposite side and made for H. The dog
didn't notice the tramp. and the wheel
man took no account OF the dog. The
result was that the dog went between
the legs OF the tramp and rolled that
Individual over on his back. The wheel
man struck dog and tramp and took Il
header over them. The wheelman
struck frantically at the dog, and his
blow landed on the nose Of the tramp.
while the dog made an assault on the
tramp. and, missing him, made life ex-
citing for the wheelman. AT last they
untangied themselves, and the tramp
and the wheelman trailed bad language
one up and the other down the street.
while the dog stood and growled AT
both. Meanwhile the cat emerged from
hole in the lumber pile where she had
taken refuge and watched the three
