London, Aug. 2. Mr. IToolcy's revela tions of the rottenness of London lltinn oleilng have thrown Into a panic mil lions of HngllHhmen who have Invested their savings In the stock of companies. It was matter of common notoriety that the small promoting Journalistic parasites fattened on company opera tions, hut tho gigantic fahrlc of brib ery and blackmailing, by which boards of directors are organized of purchased names and backed by a subsidized press some lords even belntr paid to quit the companies when no longer needed was unsuspected. The only question asked Is, who will be tho next, and the denials, some merely technical, are received with cynical skepticism. An exodus of aristocrats on foreign tours Is expected, and a crop of Investigations Is sure to result. Proposals of legislation to regulate and purify companies are nl reutly broached. In the meantime tho promoting Napoleon, turned Informer, mounts the pedestal as a popular hero. People are forgetting his share of the responsibility for tho system he exposes, the crowd In court applauding every time he scores off a nobleman. Yesterday's- proceedings were tilled with with dramatic episodes, especially the revelations of attempts to bribe Mr. Hooley to perjure himself by with drawing the statements he made at the last examination. The testimony given, yesterday Im plicated many well known Londoners, whose names would not bo recognized In America, smirching some In the business world hitherto untarnished by suspicion. One of the gravest charges was the story of the dealings with Lloyds' bank, where were deposited 86,000 shares of the Singer company. The day Hooley went bankrupt these shares were transferred. He swore yesterday afternoon that he never transferred them, mid that tho cer tificates used were signed In blank for another transaction. Among his alleged dealings with the Earl of De La Warr, Mr. Hooley as serted that the earl tried to sell him an estate at Halsingdcn, representing that It contained 4,000 acres. Mr. Hooley eald: "I promised to take It, but when I sent my agent to see the property he found there were only 1,700 acres. I had to pay De La Warr 10,000 shares of the Trent Cycle com pany to get him to let mo off the bar gain." When replying to an Interruption, he denounced the speaker, exclaiming "Dean, Harrison Davis and Beall are three of the greatest blackmailers In London." He was tremendously ap plauded for this retort. At another point of his testimony Mr. Hooley said he promised Lord March 1,000 and 1,000 yearly for Joining the Sehweppes' board, tlia ,he paid Mr. Adolphus Drucker, the Conservative member of parliament for Northamp ton, 2,B00, and Sir I31undel Maple 1, 800, by repurchasing their shares at enhanced prices. The witness "afterward' said "he paid Lord Walter Lennox for Introducing Lord March and Xord Templeton, and promised him 500 and G0O yearly for serving on the board of directors, who, however, refused to sanction It, so he paid Lord Templeton 700 for withdrawing. Incidentally Mr. Hooley mentioned having purchased the Prince of Wales' racing cutter Hrltannla for Mr. Law sun Johnstone, and said he had to keep the yacht because she had not met his expectations. Counsel for Lords De La Warr and Albemarle denied the Imputations made against their clients. The legal repre sentative of Lord Albemarle also said that his client, without admitting that the !i,000 was received for a corrupt consideration, was willing to return the money to whoever was entitled to receive It. When Lord De La. Warr's counsel, had finished his denial Mr. Hooley shouted: "Then I will show you what I have In my pocket a telegram from Loid Do La Warr and the draft of a document suiting forth what I was to say today." Mr. Hooley nourished some papers towards Lord Da La Warr, who was present, and an exciting scene was ended nbruptly by the adjournment of the court. Robbed the Grave. A startling incident of which Sir. John Oliver of Philadelphia, was the subject, is unrnitfd by 1dm us follows : "I was lu u uio-it dreadful condition. My skin was aliuoat yellow, eys sunken, tiniKUo coated, pain continually in back aud hides, no appetite craduallv crowimt weaker day by day. Tlirco physicians hail given nio up.

The latter retired be fore the American advance. The rebels have been shelllnir Manila from four Buns on the south side of the city. Admiral Dewey has received word from Captain General Augustt that he Is wilting to surrender so soon as lie can do so honorably. It Is believed tlint he will make only a show of re sistance. Admiral Dewey expects to take the city without losing a single man. Should Dewey and Murrltt begin the attack Augustl will propose to citpltulnto on the following terms: The Spanish troops to march out with the honors of war; the soldiers and officials to be permitted to return on parole to Spain, and un nssurunce to be clven that the lives and prop erty of Spaniards will be protected from natives. The Spanish officer who reported In Manila the destruction of Admiral Cer vera's sciuadron was treated as a traitor and was threatened with death. While riding near Malate the other day General Anderson narrowly es caped being shot by the enemy. Con cerning Agulnaldo, a Manila corre spondent has written to United States Consul Wlldman here as follows: "I have not yet seen any reason to regret your prompt action In sending Agulnaldo here. Your wisdom In doing so was contested at the time, but the remarkable success of the rebel leader has proved that you were a good Judge of human nature when you sized up Agulnnldo's capabilities." The frlrtinn between Agulnaldo and his cifllreis lias irnppeared, the latter taking nffeiiFt' at his assumption of tho role of dictator. Mr. Wlldman declares that his latest dispatches from Manila say that Germans are now giving less tiouble. There was not much fighting Inst week.

Hobson, who has been expected In Georgia ever since his ar rival In the United States from San tiago, Is with his mother at Llthla Springs. The lieutenant reached At lanta yesterday, and for several mo ments the naval hero was a busy man. He was kept shaking hands until each Individual had been saluted. At Aus tell there was a call for the distin guished traveler to come to the plat form, to which he responded. When the train pulled up at the sta tion at Lithia Springs, where the mob was waiting, a crowd of guests from the Sweet Water Park hotel had gath ered to Join in the welcome. Tho meeting between mother and son wns a pathetic cvne. The son kissed his mother, who threw her arms around his neck, and for several moments rested her head upon his shoulder, shedding tears of Joy. As she walked up the lane from the depot to the hotel leaning on the arm of her boy her face was aglow. The hotel parlors were decorated with beau tiful llowers. Flags were draped over the portieres and the word "Welcome," made of green leaves, was spread over the door. A string band furnished music. Hobson has not delinltely arrange nil his plans and does not know Just how he will occupy his time prior to leaving for Santiago or Just how soon he will return, lie thinks now he will go back via Key West, He Is to pre side In New York next Thursday night at a meeting of the Soldiers and Sail ors' Relict' association. Mrs. Governor Atkinson, one of tho most active workers in the Army and Navy League, telephoned Lieutenant Hobson yesterday that the members of the league were unxlous to give him a reception. The lieutenant responded by saying that he would be most happy to accept if circumstances permitted It. The reception, which will be a pub lic one, will be held at the governor's mansion tonight.

Over Two Million Dollars' Worth Thrown Away Without Eflect Against Santiago's Defenses. Santiago, Aug. 2. A party of naval olllcers, anxious to see the effect of the four or live bombardments of the de fenses of the harbor by the fleet under Admiral Hnmpson, made a two days' tour of the butteries. One of them made the following statement to thu press correspondents: "Over $2,000,000 woith of ammunition thrown at the batteries defending San tiago harbor was absolutely haimless In Its effect, so far as the reducing of the batteries wns concerned, and, while It may have given the Spaniards a wholesome respect for us, simply bore out the well known fact that It Is a waste of time and money to bombard earthworks." Entering the harbor on a steam launch, the party made a close Inspec tion of the cruiser Itclna Mercedes, sunk In the harbor tho night of July 4, the day after Schley Bunk Cervera's fleet. The Relna Mercedes lies on her sturboard side about half under wnter. The majority of her lurge guns have been taken ashore, but her rapid lire guns were left, and torpedoes were in her tubes. She has at least five big shell holes In her from the Massachu- i Betts and the Texns, and the way they ! are placed Is a splendid tribute to the fine gunnery of these two battleships, which had to lire up the narrow har bor mouth In the dark or with the light of the Massachusetts' searchlight. At the hilltop a great surprise await ed tho party. This was at the battery close to Morro, which the commander of the Suwanee had reported to Ad miral Sampson as containing several very dangerous large modern guns, and against which Admiral Sampson had four times mussed the flower of the fleet. In rudely conntructed earth works, but with excellent and deep run ways for the gunners to bring am munition along or run for shelter, were four muzzle loading bronze cannon and two coat Iron six Inch mortars. The cannon are very handsome old pieces, cast in lToi and named after prominent Spaniards. The mortars are dated 1805, and were evidently cast at Havana. On the Morro itself ara two bronze cannon of the same make and several old fashioned small mortars. Although our fleet had bombarded this place throe times and tho New Orleans alone once, there was little or no damage done except the dismounting of an old gun, the destruction of the lighthouse and a small frame houso nearby. The damage was all done by the dynamite shells of the Vesuvius. The editor of tlio llvans City, Pa., Glohe, writes, "One Minute tVnmh Cure is ritrhtlv named. It cured my children after all other remedies lulled." It ciiich coughs, colds and an tnroat ami lung tiouliles. C. II. Hagcn huch. Vltx to Kinlit .Toin toM. New York. Aug. 2.
