A LEISURE VOYAGE HOME.
Months for Trip from Manila
10 United States.

Manila, May 15.-Admiral Dewey will
leave for the United States as soon as
he can arrange his business here and
give full instructions for the manage
ment of the fleet to his successor. The
United States cruiser Olympia, upon
which Admiral Dewey will make the
voyage home, will sail leisurely trip,
stopping at Mediterranean ports for
some time to give the admiral, the Of
ficcrs of the ship and the crew an OPP
portunity for rest. Like all the Olym-
pia's company, Admiral Dewey is much
run down by his long stay in tropical
port without change and under the
rigid conditions incident to war foot
ing.
All are delighted at the prospect of
returning home. The officers have had
little shore leave, and have been obliged
always to be on shi picard by shutdown.
The crew have had still less leave, and
show the effects of a year spent on a
hot ship under an enervating sun.
The Olympia will proceed from
Manila to HongKong, where a fort
night will be spent in Transforming the
mud colors which she was painted to
white, having up to this time been un-
able to comply with the departments
order to take on white paint. At Hong
Kong the cruiser will be coaled and
l'rovisioned for her further journey.
