RECKLESS
TESTIMONY
Judge Says That HOOley's
Was Of That Kind.
DE LA WAR; ACQUITTED.
Not Wholly Absolved, However, OF
Charge Of Bribery.
DE LA WAR; ACQUITTED.
FINDING IN BROADLEY'S CASE.

London, Aug. 17.-In the Queens
Bench division of the high court of jus
tice today Justice Wright acquitted
Earl De La.warr and Mr.. Broadley Of
the charge Of contempt Of court in al
legged attempts to induce Ernest Terah
Hooley. the bankrupt company promo
ter to falsify his evidence in the bank
ruptcy court.
The learned judge said, however. that
both were blameable and he mulcted
them in costs. Justice Wright said that
while he must absolve Earl Della
War; of the charge of Bribery he must
hold that the Earl had wrongly tried
to induce Mr.. Hooley to correct sworn
statements made by him in the bank
ruptcy proceedings and had wrongfully
promised TO help Mrs. Hooley.
Mr. Hooley the judge said, ought not
to be regarded as mere liar. as had
been suggested by the respondents. but
as rash. reckless and inaccurate,
appearing some times to be suffering
from illusions in a hopeless attempt to
disentangle the true from the false, his
evidence was unsafe to act upon, espe-
cially in case OF such Importance.
Justice Wright said he thought Mr..
Hooley was wrong in testifying that
statement was written by Mr.. Broad
ley in the presence Of Earl De La War;
Mr.. Bradshaw's evidence as to De La
Warr's proposal to help Mrs. Hooley
was remarkable. although Mr.. Brad
shaw had no cause to testify falsely. He
could not believe that IL was out OF
mere charity that Earl De-La-W War;
had promised Mrs. Hooley G1000. On
the contrary. he was forced to conclude
that the promise was connected with
the earl's strong and natural desire to
clear himself from Hooley's accusa-
tions. Nevertheless, he acquitted Earl
De La War of the imputation of In
ducing Mr.. Hooley to testify falsely.
With regard to the alleged bribery,
he could not wholly absolve Earl De
La War;, but as these proceedings We're
only intended to vindicate justice II
would be a sufficient punishment for
Earl De La Wars indiscretion IL the
court ordered him to pay costs.
With reference to Mr.. Broadley's
case. Justice Wright considered him, he
said. much more guilty in asking Mr..
Hooiey falsely to say that he made
retraction without communicating with
Earl De La War;. Broadley was guilty
of subordination of perjury, and while
he Cthe tudge) was in doubt whether
he ought not to deal very differently
with Mr.. Broadley, he had concluded to
make the same disposition in Broad
ley's case as that of Earl De La War;.

Washington, Aug. II. - Admiral
Dewey's official announcement o. the
bombardment and surrender of Manila
has been received as follows:
Manila. Aug. 13.
To Secretary Of Navy. Washington:
Manila surrendered today to the
American land and naval forces after a
squadron shelled the forts and in
trenchments at Malate. on the south
side OF the city, driving back the
enemy. our army advancing from that
side at the same time. The city sur
rendered about o'clock, the American
flag being hoisted by Lieut.. Brumby.
About 1000 prisoners were taken. The
squadron had no casualties, and none
Of the vessels were injured
On August Gen. Merritt and FORM
ally demanded the surrender of the
city. which the Spanish governor gen.
eral refused. DEWEY.
Lieut. Brumby is Admiral Dewey's
flag lieutenant.
Now that the surrender is officially
reported, 1t can be stated that Manila
IL being held by virtue or the military
occupation and surrender and not by
virtue OF the protocol. According to
Admiral Dewey's dispatch the surrend-
er occurred about d. m. last Satur-
day. The peace protocol was signed at
4:23 p. m. on Friday. 1t Is said that the
difference In time between Manila and
Washington is such that the surrender
reckoned In Washington would be about
IL hours ahead Of the time at Manila
Under this rule Admiral Dewey and
Gen. Merritt would be bound by the ar
mistice only from the time the notice
of 1t reached them at Manila. This
could not have occurred on Saturday,
prior to the bomnardment as the cable
was not working. and no dispatch boat
could have gotten through with the no.
tice before Monday or Tuesday. In
short 1t is agreed In all official quarters
that the sorcible taking OF Manila was
entirely regular and that the city and
bay is now held on the basis OF this
military and enforced taking, rather
than on the basis OF mutual arrange
ment between the two countries. This
may become material when the ques-
tion arises as to the future OF the Phil
ippines for 1t is likely to proceed from
the American standpoint that Manila
was taken by force Of arms, and Is SO
occupied.
