sensational charges Of bribery against Del
aware and others practically petered out
in the high court today. Justice Wright, in
an elaborate judgment which was much
approved, characterized Hooley as a man of
the most dangerous kind, rash, reckless and
inaccurate. He said it was not safe to
act on his evidence in such a case. Fur
the' Hooley seemed to be under mere IL
lusions. The judge said Delaware was per-
fectly justified In asking Hooley to correct
his evidence where 1t was Inaccurate but
had been indiscreet in referring to cheques
for the bankrupts wife at that time as
vindicating justice. Delaware was ordered
to pay the costs.

MADRID Aug. 17.-(New York World Ca
blegram-Special Telegram. )--According 10
the official version the government tele-
graphed General Augusti early in August
ordering him to hand his command over to
General Juadenes, because the War Office
was displeased with the tone Of the dis
patches which seemed to show desire on
Augustus part to cast upon the cabinet the
responsibility for almost all that had taken
place in the Philippines. 1t is stated that the
government also telegraphed some days be-
fore the capituation urging Generals Au-
gusIi and Jaudenes to prolong the resistance
until the peace protocol had been signed.
Considerable displeasure anu disappointment
Is shown in high quarters against both gen.
erals because they are charged with having
thus damaged the position of Spain in the
negotiations for a settlement of the regime
in the Philippines
1t is curious to notice that strong feel
ing is growing in Spain echoed even more
by the provincial than the Madrid press,
against retaining the archpelagoes if they
are 20 be a source OF expense and If inter-
national control or interference of any kind
are to tie the hands of Spain in the political
administration or commercial matters.

MADRID, Aug. 15.-(Via the Frontier)--
New York World Cablegram-Special Tele-

pressed all kilograms for the provincial
press and all articles and statements politi-
cal or financial in the press that even chal-
lenged the assertion that the United States
themselves would recognize the Cuban debts
or at least oblige the new Cuban republic to
recognize said debts.
A prominent liberal statesman. an ex-
minister. when questioned on the matter,
said. II have reasons for thinking that
our government has received positive in
formation and unofficial assurance that the
American government will do something for
the Cuban debt. You know the Americans
are a practical people still. Spanish and
foreign bankers, especially French, German
and Belgium, have induced some very pow
erful American spectators and tinanciers to
buy Cuban stock with a view to create a
syndicate in New York that will oblige Nc
