LONDON, Aug. 10.—On the resumption to-day of the examination into the affairs | of Ernest Hooley, the bankrupt company promoter, the register announced that Mr. | Hooley was ill and that his examination | must be adjourned. It was decided, how- | ever, to allow those who have been charg- | ed with receiving bribes to make sworn statements. | Mr. Duguid, formerly financial editor of | the Pall Mall Gazette explained that the £3000 which Hooley pald him was a com- pensation, explaining that Mr. Hooley ap- pointed him city editor of a newspaper, but was unable to fulfill his contract. Mr. Hooley, upon another occasion, offered the | witness $5000 in shares of a hydraulic com- pany, which he refused to accept. Earl Delawarr was next sworn. He admitted having received £8000 through Mr. Broadley, Hooley's agent, after the flotation of the Dunlop company, but the witness said he had never received any- thing to transmit to the Earl of Albe- marle, nor_had he recelved £2000 for in- troducing Hooley to Lord Greville. A cable dispatch was read from Lord Norbury denying that he had received £1000 to join the Singer board. Mr. Praed, the manager of Lloyd's Bank, said the statements of Mr. Hooley in regard to the bank were absolutely false and he produced documents empow- ering the bank to sell or otherwise dis- g{ose of the securities it held against Mr. ooley’s overdrafts. Continuing, the wit- ness said Mr. Hooley once said to hi “You know, Praed, I have lied to every- body in nearly every case, but I have al- ways told you the truth.” The exemination was adjourned until Friday next. In the Queen’s Bench division of the High Court of Justice to-day Justice Wright granted counsel for the official receiver of the Hooley estate permission to service notice upon Earl Delawarr and Messrs, Broadtrick, Bradshaw and Ruck- er that on Friday next a motion will be made to commit them for contempt of court in attempting to induce Mr. Hooley o falsify his evidence. In support of the application counsel presented the telegram | from Earl Delawarr to Mr. Hooley, men- s last examination, ‘“Please make it clear that I did not have £50,000 for Dunlop, nor kept any- thing due Albemarle. Also that no con- ditions were made in regard to the pay- ment for joining the board and also that 1 did not introduce you to Lord Greville.” The telegram concludes with asking Mr. Hooley to say he had not had any com- munication with Earl Delawarr siuce his first examination. - SPANISH VICTORY REPORTED BY MACIAS Says Americans Were Repulsed at Guanamoa Without Lass to the Force of Defenders. MADRID, Aug. 10.—An official dis- patch recelved here from San Juan de Porto Rico says: American forces re- turning from Guantanamo attacked the heights of Guaramoa. A guerrilla force under Major Cervera kert up a continuous fire for an hour and held the position. the enemy’s attack being repulsed. We suffered no loss. The enemy’s lor °s are not known. The village of Gamao has been at- tacked by a largely superior force and had to be abandoned. Our troops are WATER FIGHT IS BE FROSECUTED [N THE COURTS Three Injunction Suits at Los Angeles. ALL TO BE TRIED TOGETHER BY AGREEMENT OF OPPOSING COUNSEL. Two of the Actions Brought by the Company, the Other by the City—Opening of Argu- ments. Special Dispatch to The Call. LOS ANGELES, Aug. 10.—Three in- | junction suits, one brought by the Los Angeles City Water Company against the city and two by the city against the water company, were begun in the Su- perfor Court here this morning. Judg2 Osten of San Bernardino County is on the bench. Attorney Chapman in opening the case for the water company explained that it had been decided to try tne three cases at once. The court being | agreeable, he said, that the arguments of the two sides would alternate, and that counsel had agreed not to hold themselves bound, but after the formal arguments closed to add what in their judgment seemed to have been not suf- ficiently covered. Chapman then took up the history of the case briefly. The city, he expla ned, laid no claim to the machinery of the works except the Bellevue avenue pipes. Attorney Scott, for the city, inter- rupted. He wanted it understood clear- ly that although the city did not claim the pipes in Los Feliz marsh land, the water was maintained to belong to the municipal corporation. Regarding the contention of the city that the rights of the water company in the matter were merely the rights of a tenant, Mr. Chapman said: “It ts ‘the most remarkable case of land- lord and tenant that any man ever heard of. It is a case where the tenant has all the rights and title in the case and the landlord has none at all. Yet the city makes no secret that it in- tends to take the Crystal Springs prop- erty, but not all of it. Its repre- sentatives have looked it over and de- cided what they could not get along without. We are entitled to the land. No matter where the water goes or comes from, they have no right to the pipes. We claim that they are not entitled to a receiver, and I can cite de- cisions to show it.” Here Mr. Chapman read extracts from a number of Supreme Court opinions and continued: “On a few points we all agree. We agree that the contract of 1868 was made, and that the only difficulty is in its interpretation. *| By that contract they claim the right to enter into possession of our prop- erty July, 1898. When that contract was made the city had an old wooden water-wheel and some wooden pipes. ‘What has become of that ancient strue- ture I do not know. By the theory that nothing is lost I presume its atoms are still with us. Since then there have been more than 320 miles of pipe line put in. The City Water Company has since purchased the water rights of the Citizens' Water Company. The city can have no landlord’s rights in this amatter. 4 “Regarding the anxiety of the eity about accumulating water rates, would ask what better security could the city have than a debt to the com- pany of $1,000,000 Oregon Grain Fields B\-u'ning.

SAMPSON PLACED AHEAD OF SCHLEY Will Be Advanced Eight Numbers. BOTH TO GET PROMOTIONS ACTING ADMIRAL TO RANK THE COMMODORE. Friends of the Latter Are Indignant and Promise to Make a Bitter Fight Against a Con- firmation. tch to The Call. WASHINGTON, Aug. 10.—The Presi- dent has determined to recommend to Congress that Acting Rear Admiral | Sampson be advanced eight numbers | and Commodore Schley six numbers. | This will result in making each a rear &admiral, but with Commodore Schley | ranking immediately below Admiral Sampson. Captain Clark of the Oregon will be recommended for an advance of six numbers in the captain’s grade, and Lieutenant Commander Wain- wright will go up eight numbers. Other promotions throughout the fleet will be; recommended. o NEW YORK, Aug. 10.—The Herald’'s Washington correspoendent says: Of all the promotions made to-day none has caused more comment than those of Commodores Sampson and Schley, | especially the promotion of the former | over the latter. The friends of Com- | modore Schley are rather inclined to| be indignant, but the administratien | sees no ground for complaint on the part of the second in command in the battle with Cervera's fleet. Secretary Long, who told me about the promotions to-night, said the Presi- dent had taken action in all of the cases as it seemed to him to be just and proper. He called attention to the | fact that Rear Admiral Bampson was | commander in chief of the squadron which defeated Admiral Cervera's com- mand, and therefore was entitled to the promotion he has received. | The reasons assigned by the Presi- dent for the promotion of Rear Admiral Sampson cannot be positively stated, but it is known that Commodore Schley | has been promoted for conspicuous | conduct in battle, while it is sald Samp- son will receive his promotion for meri- torious services. SHANGHAI RIOTS END IN CARNAGE Deadly Fire of French Marines. MANY NINGPOS SHOT DOWN LEADER OF THE MOB FATALLY BAYONETED. Awed by the Result of the Conflict, the Coolies Finally Disperse and Seek to Compro- mise. Special Dispatch to The Call. TACOMA, Wash., Aug. 10.—Japanese papers recetved to-day contain full ac- counts of the Shanghai riots of July 17 to 19, which were participated in by several thousand members of the Ningpo guild, the strongest native or- sanization in Shanghai. The wrath of the rioting coolies was almed at the French colony, the natives claiming the right to assemble on and use a large compound within the limits of the French concession. Resident French- men denied this right, though the Ningpo men claimed that after a cen- tury of occupation the whole compound was theirs absolutely. On July 15 a circular was issued call- ing upon all Ningpo men to quit the service of foreigners. Over ten thous- and responded, carpenters, coolies and deckhands retusing duty throughout Shanghai by hundreds. Two days later the Ningpoese threatened to set fire to the French concession. That night the rioters, screeching and howling, raided the police station at Namtao, pulling down part of its walls. By this time eighty marines from the French cruis- er Eclaireur and fifty from the French steamer Oceanien had been landed to assist the police. The rioters quickly became more boisterous, throwing stones and clubs, until after due warn- ings the sailors were ordered to fire upen the mob. 1898.... HERQES ABOARD THE BROOKLIN Captain Murphy Praises His Men. BRAVE ACTS IN BATTLE - INSTANCES CITED IN AN OF- FICIAL REPORT. How the Crew on Schley’s Flagship Behaved During the Fight With the Spanish Fleet Under Cervera. Special Dispatch to The Call. WASHINGTON, Aug. 10.—The fol- lowing report has been made public by the Navy Department: FLAGSHIP, North Atlantic_ Station, July 16, United States Flagship Brooklyn, Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, July 6.—Sir: I have the honor to submit the following report of the part taken by the marine guard of this vessel on the 3d instant in the action which resulted in the destruc- tion of the Spanish squadron: At the moment the alarm was given that the enemy’s ships were coming out of the harbor, the guard was at quar- ters, ready for inspection. It was imme- diately dismissed and the men sent to their stations for battle. The men were full of enthusiasm, but there was no ex- citement or disorder and apparently no concern for personal safety The battery was handled with admira- ble coolness and deliberation. —Greater care could not be taken in setting sights and aiming if the men had been at tar- get practice and each striving to make a record score. Considering the fact that the enemy was within effective range during the greater part of the action, the fire of the secondary battery must have been most destructive to his men and material and contributed its full share to bring- ing the battle to an end so speedily and with so little loss to ourselves. It is reported that the Spanish officers have stated that so deadly was the effect of our secondary battery fire that it was im- possible to keep their men at the guns. Where all did their duty manfully, it is a difficult matter to select individuals for special mention. There are some,| however, who deserve to be brought to your notice by name for conduct that Five Chinese were killed and several wounded. Subsequently the mob was again fired into by both marines and police. Native accounts say over twenty were killed. The French know of thir- teen killed and say others died after being carried away by Chinese friends. Between forty and fifty more were It is rather expected by the authori- | ties that the decision to promote Samp- | son over Schley, as has been done, will | cause a renewal of the controversy | which started immediately after th battle of July 3. Friends of Schley | prgmise to make a bitter fight when the | nominations go before the Senate. They | have no protest to make against Ad- miral Sampson’s promotion, but cannot understand why he should have jumped over the head of Schley, who took a rrl\uch more conspicuous part in the bat- tle. NEW DEPARTMENT OF SANTIAGO ERECTED| Lawton to Rule the Province and ‘Wood the City—Shafter Is Coming Home. WASHINGTON, Aug. 10—A de- partment of the army to be known as the Department of Santlago was erect- ed to-day. Major General Henry W. Lawton is assigned to its command. Brigadier General Wood will continue in command of Santiago City. General Shafter returns to this country with the Fifth Arr>- Corps. He will be in command untine departs. CHINA AGREES T0 RUSSIAN DEMANDS British Concessions Ig- nored Completely. |SIGNED CONTRACT VIOLATED LATEST PHASE OF THE RAIL- WAY LOAN. Great Britain Made to Play a Very Subsidiary Part in a Most Important Diplomatic Matter. Spectal Dispatch to The Call. LONDON, Aug. 11.—The Peking cor- respondent of the Times says: The Tsung Li Yamen (Chinese Foreign Of- fice) has given formal assent to all the conditions~ imposed by the Russian Charge d’Affaires, M. Pavloff, regard- ing the contract for the Niu Chwang Raijlway extension loan. , These conditions are in direct conflict with the terms of the signed contract and are designed to block the comple- tion of the final contract. The objectionable clauses in favor of Russia are removed. M. Pavloff’s conditions as to the Niu Chwang Railway are that the line: should not be mortgaged as securltyN and that no foreign control or interfer- ence should be permitted, even in case of default. So far as the Peking-Han- kow contract is concerned a separate agreement appoints as arbitrator in any disputed question the Minister of that country having the largest finan- clal interest. This gives the Russian Minister absolute power. < The Times, commenting on the dis- patch of its Peking correspondent, says: M. Pavloff has knocked the bottom out of the British concessions. The news makes short work of all Mr. Bal- four’s demonstration on the subject of the “‘open door.” LB A FEAR A FAILURE. Oriental Steamship Company Will Probably Collapse. TACOMA, Aug. 10.—Advices received from Japan to-day say the Japan Herald states that shareholders of the Oriental Steamship Company, which had intended running steamers to San Francisco next year, have refused to pay the fourth call on thelr shares, fearing evidently that the company is foredoomed to failure, be. cause the foreign services of the Nippon Yusen Kaisha have proved a source of loss. The Herald says further that some shareholders are urging dissolution of the company. et Bret Harte begins a new story in next Sunday’s Call. Alearn the facts wounded, twenty-nine sufferers from gunshot wounds being taken to the Shantung Hospital. One of the mob’'s leaders was stabbed in the eye with bayonet and died next day. A native merchant dled from a terrible wound in his throat, having been shot while looking on from his veranda. This and other circumstances indicate that the French fired in every direction. In explanation of the harsh measures taken against the natives the Secretary of the French municipality says: “lt has been proved that nearly all the victims were rioters, armed with bam- boos, boathooks and stones. The pro- portion of innocent victims was very small, due to the extreme moderation shown by the sdilors and police.” Nearly 500 men were on duty during the riot, including 280 marines and sail- ors from the cruiser Eclaireur and steamers Marco Polo and Oceanien, fifty policemen, 120 volunteers and sev- eral dozen civilians. Next day machine guns were mount- ed in the police station yard, and am- munition distributed to the marines and police. This summary action, to- gether with the killing of their com- rades, created consternation among the Chinese, with the result that large numbers of striking coolles soon re- sumed work. Others remained obsti- nate, but no further rioting is ex- pected. Following the riots prominent mem- bers of the Ningpo guild held a consul- tation with American Consul General Goodnow, telling him they would also consult the French, Russian and Ger- man Consul Generals. They sought Goodnow’s aid In making peace with the French, pointing out that the con- tinuance of strained relations between the Chinese and French meant inconve- nience and loss to all foreign mer- chants. It is expected at Shanghal that the Consuls General named will act to- gether in the premises, especially as native trade with foreign houses has already been reduced to a minimum. The Ningpo men: refuse to dbandon their claim to the disputed compound, claiming that it was acknowledged in the proclamation issued by the French Consul General twenty-four years ago. REV. JONES FILLS A REND PULPIT Recently Divorced by an Alameda Court. LOCATED THROUGH THE CALL Bpeclal Dispatch to The Call. RENO, Nev., Aug. 10.—Tt transpires that the Rev. Frederick V. Jones, who +was granted a divorce in Alameda County, as stated in last Sunday’'s Call, is the Rev. Frederick Vernon Jones who has lived and filled the pul- pit of the Congregational Church of this city since last April and continues to do so. And this despite the fact that he claimed to be engaged in business at Haywards and to have quit the min- istry. The fhct_that he is or has been mar- ried and that the person referred to in The Call is the same as the one odcupy- ing the pulpit here will be very inter- esting news to many of the people of this city. The Rev. Mr. Jones came here last April and since therl has become one of the well-known people of the city. He has met with fair success as pastor of one of the largest churches here, has made himself rather a favorite in a social way and enjoys the privilege of calling upon the best people of the city, regardless of whether or not they belong to his church. While he has not stated that he was an unmarried man the fact of his having been mar- ried and divorced—in short, that he is the same man referred to in last Sun- day's Call has not been dreamed of here until The Call correspondent, at- tracted by the similarity in names, etc., g)nvanunted the matter and found it to e 80. What action his congregation wiil take in the matter will probably be de- termined. lhdrfl{ after the members n the case. displayed In a conspicuous manner cour- age, intelligence and devotion to duty during the action. A cartridge during the action was jammed in the bore of the six-pound and in the effort to withdraw it the became detached from the projectile, | leaving the latter fast in the bore and impossible to extricate from the rear. Corporal _Robert Guy of the port gun | asked and received permission to attempt to drive the shell out by means of a ram- mer. To do this it was necessary to go out on the gun, and the undertaking was full ‘of difficulty and danger, the latter due in a great measure to the blast of the turret guns firing overhead. The gun was hot and it was necessary to cling to the Jacob ladder with one hand while en- deavoring with the other to manipulate the long rammer. After a brave effort he was forced to give up and was ordered in. Quarter Gunner W. H. Smith then was sent by the executive officer and promptly | placed himself in the dangerous positior: | outside the gun port, where he worked and failed, as the corporal had done. Neither had been able to get the rammer into the bore, and there seemed nothing left to do but dismount the gun. At this juncture Private MacNeal, oné~of the crew, volunteered to go out and make a final ‘effort. Special Correspondent of The SOL. N. SHERIDAN, Call and the New York Herald.

LINCOLN, Nebr.,, Aug. 10.—The Re- publican State Convention nominated the following ticiet: Governor, M. L. County. Lieutenant Governor, George A. Mur- phy, Gage County. Secretary of State, Cenek Duras, Sa- line County. Hayward, Otoe The gun was so important, the star- board battery being engaged, that as a | forlorn nope he was permittcd to make | the attempt. He pushed out boldly and | set to work. The guns of the forward turret were firing, the blast nearly | knocking him overboard, and the enemy’s | shots were coming with frequency into | his immediate neighborhood. It was at | this time that Chief Yeoman Ellis was | killed on the other side of the deck. | MacNeal never paused in his work. The | rammer was finally placed in the bore | and the shell ejected. The gun was im- | meuiately put in action, and MacNeal re- | sumed his dutles as coolly as if what he | had done were a matter of every day routine. | The battle orderlies well merit a place among those whose conduct is worthy of special mentlon. They were on the move continuously, bearing battle orders to all parts of the ship, and in no instance did they fail in the prompt and.intelligent erformance of their responsible duty. q‘he signal men occupied very exposed positions during the actfon and rendered | excellent service. Signal halyards and | numbers, battle flags and speed cones were riddled by small projectiles and fragments of bursting shell, casualties that show in what a zone of danger the signal men performed their duties. Sig- nalmen Coombs and McIntyre and Battle Orderlies Rall and Davis were so near Yeoman Ellis when he was killed that they were bespattered with blood. The following are the names of the bat- tle orderlies: To the flag officer—Privates Rall and Davis. To the commanding officer—Privates Kelly, Smith and San Jule, To the executive officer—Privates Bren- nen G. Wismer and O'Donnell. The flag orderly, Private Richmond, and commanding officer's orderly, Private Woodhull, were on deck and rendered good service. The follow! nal men: Forward—Privates Coombs and McIn- ing are the names of the sig- yre. Aft—Privates Shaw and Allearne. The music boys, Drummer Weisenberg and Fifer Stewart, were stationed on the main and the gun decks respectively, to ?ound trumpet calls and behaved man- ully. None showed more unflinching courage than the men in the military tops, who stood by their guns delivering their fire with unerring precision, undismayed by the projectiles flying about them and striking in_their immediate vicinity. Private Stockbridge, the only man on the sick list, climbed into the main-top at the signal for battle, where he remained to the end of the action, doing good worl at_his gun. The non-commissioned officers — First Sergeant Manning, Sergeants Bristow, Montalr, Ingalls and McDevett, Corporals Dittmeler, Doyle and Gray—showed ex- cellent soldferly qualities in the manage- ment of the men and battery. First Sergeant Manning rendered valua- ble ald in_supervising the widely separ- ated detachments of the guard. . 1 cannot speak too highly of the con- duct and bearing of Lieutenant Borden. His courage and excelient services proved him a valuable officer. There were no casualties of a serious nature. Two men were slightly injured, one Private Flinn, in the back by a splin- ter; the other, Private Barfleld, in the leg, cause unknown. In neither case was it necessary for the men to leave thel station. - It is a matter of the greatest pride to the guard, officers apd men alike, to be able to claim a share in the splendid work done by the Brooklyn on the 3d in- stant. A report nearly identical with this has been made to the commanding officer. Very respcctrull{", PAUL ST. C. MURPHY, Captain, United States Marine Corps. gbmrrl:nndllng‘ %uard.

We favor the payment of our soldiers and sallors in the same money as is paid the bond- holders.” SPRINGFIELD, Mo., Aug. 10.—Bald- | win’s Theater was crowded when the Democratic Convention was called -to order at noon. Congressman Richard P. Bland, introduced as temporary chairman, was received with great ap- plause. In the course of his address he declared his belief that eventually Cuba and Porto Rico would come into our country, but he desired no declara- tion on that question until these terri- tories were prepared to come in of their own free will and accord and under Democratic principles. The first ballot resulted in'the nomi- nation of Judge William C. Marshall for Supreme Judge for the long term and Judge Leroy B. Valliant for the short term of the same office. The con- vention then adjourned until to-mor- row. Late to-night the committee on reso- | lutions agreed on a platform which in- | dorses the Chicago platform; opposes \ncquisition of the Philippines or other territory in the Eastern hemisphere; approves the construction of the Nieca- raguan canal, which should be con- | troliled by the United States; declares that our navy should be kept equal to any emergency, and demands that Porto Rico and all Spanish territory in the West Indies, except Cuba, shall be taken and held by the United States, Cuba to be allowed to establish its own | government and to be annexed only at the desire of the people of the island.
