FROM
 ADMIRAL DEWEY Thanks Congressman Livingston For Introducing Resolu-
 ton of Thanks,

Atlanta, Ga., Aug. 10.-Congressman Liv- ingston of Georgia has received the fol- lowing letter from Admiral Dewey: "Flagship Olympia, Off Cavite, Philippine Islands, June 17.-My Dear Sir: have just learned from the last papers that am in- debted to you for the introduction in the house of representatives of the resolution extending to me the thanks of congress for the naval engagement of Manila Bay, May 1.
 'T need hardly tell you that I am most sincerely grateful to you as the author of that resolution, bringing, as it does, the highest honor that can come to an Ameri- can naval officer in his professional career. But it is-a great pleasure to acknowledge my debt of gratitude and to thank you in unstinted measure for the part you took in obtaining for me that greatest distinction. Tt Is a source of additional pleasure to me, a Vermonter, that the mover of the resolution was not man from the north, but one from the far south. This is one of the good signs of the times. In the hour of danger there is no south, no north, but one united country. May we never hear of sectionalism again. There are no lines drawn in the navy. I need not say 1t may interest you to know that my flag lieutenant, Lieutenant Brumby, is Geor- gian by birth and appointment.
 Again thanking you most cordially, l remain very gratefully and sincerely,
 GEORGE DEWEY. ''To the Hon. L. F. Livingston, House of Rep: :esentatives"

A Texas Soldier Tells How Indifferent
 to Danger Men Become. 24

The Galveston CTexas) News prints let
 ter from John w. Burke, of that city, a
 member of Light Battery K, First United
 States Artillery, in front of Santiago de
 Cuba, in which he says:
 "A great many people thought we were
 going to have a walkover with the Span
 iards, but tell you, old boy, they fought
 like fiends and made many a good man
 bite the dust. Every one of our men fought nobly, and I tell you one thing,
 have heard that a negro will not fight, but since this fight I have changed my mind
 The Twenty-fourth and Twenty-fifth in- fantry and the Ninth and Tenth cavalry are colored regulars, and there is not 8 braver set of men in the army today than they, nor harder fighters. The Rough Riders and the Seventy-first New York volunteers covered themselves with glory. "The first shot we fired, we were on top of small hill within 300 yards of the en- emy shines, which is something unusual for light battery; they are supposed to fight at long range. We were in good range of the enemy's infantry and the bullets came in just like rain drops There were two tall trees just over our gun, and before we left they had cut every limb and twig off with their bullets
 "I can hardly describe mans feelings when he first goes under fire, but In five minutes he forgets all about the danger and is running around as if there was no danger at all. After firing shell for about half an hour, we were ordered to use time shrapnel it Is a projectile that has a fuse on it., and you can cut it to burst at any required dis tance within 4,500 yards. When we are using shrapnel 1t is my duty to cut the fuse for my gun There are four fuse cut ters, one for each gun, so that the four of us went back about twenty-five yards to cut our fuses, and when we got there we found a haversack with some hardtack and bacon in it. I suppose it was dropped by some soldier who was shot. We picked | it up, and while two cut the shrapnel the other two began eating till we were satis- | fed and all the time there were bullets | flying and shell bursting all around us. am just telling you this to show you how l indifferent men become to danger in the l feld.'

 The late Colonel George w. Rains made request in his will that should he die in the south, his body be wrapped in con- federate flag, to be found among his ef- fects. and buried at the foot of the old powder mill chimney; if his death occurred at tist north 1t was his desire that the flag be deposited in the ground at the foot of the chimney and suitably marked His death having occurred at the north, by the terms of the will the flag is to be deposited at the place designated. Following Is. the extract from the will bearing on the mat ter: ssssssp- s,?,a

THE HOOLEY SCANDAL.
The Promoter III and Unable to Appear
 in Court.

London, Aug. 10.-On the resumption to- day of the examination into the affairs of Ernest L. Hooley, the bankrupt com pany promoter, the registrar announced that MT. Hooley was i'll. and that his ex- animation must be adjourned.
 It was decided, however, to have all of those who have been charged with receiv- ing bribes to make sworn statements.
 MT. Duguid, formerly financial editor of the Pail Mall Gazette, explained that the 5000 pounds which MT. Hooley paid him was as compensation, explaining that MT. Hooley appointed him city editor of a news paper, but was unable to fulfill his contract owing to the objections of MT. Harry Marks.
 MT. Hooley upon another occasion of- fered the witness $5,000 in shares of a hy- draulic company. which he refused to accept. -f-. .szz
 Earl de La Warr was next sworn. He admitted having received 5000 pounds through MT. Broadley, MT. Hooley's agent, after the Notation of the Dunlop company, but witness said he had never received anything to transmit to the Earl of Abe marle nor had he received 5000 for intro ducing Mir. Hooley to Lord Greville.
 cable dispatch was read from Lord Norbury denying that he had received 1000 pounds to join the Singer board.
 MT. Praed, the manager of Lloyd's bank, said the statements of MT. Hooley in re- gard to the bank were absolutely false, and he produced documents empowering the bank to sell or otherwise dispose of the securities 1t held against MT. Hooley' overdraft. Continuing. witness said MT. Hooley once said to him: "You know, Praed, I have lied to everybody in nearly every case, but have always told you the truth"
 The examination was adjourned until Friday next.
 In the queens bench division of the high court of justice today Justice Wright granted counsel for the official receiver of the Hobley estate permission to serve notice upon Earl De La Warr and Messrs. Broadley, Bradshaw and Fucker that on Friday next a motion will be made to com init them for contempt of court in attempt ing to induce Mir. Hooley to fasify his ev- idence.

ANOTHER EXPEDITION.
Two Thousand Troops Sail to Join Gen
 Merritt.

Washington, Aug. 10.--The war depart ment has received dispatch from San Francisco saying that 2,ooo troops sailed today for Manila. There are about 500( more soldiers now at San Francisco, who will be sent to Manila as soon as trans- ports can be obtained Secretary Alger cabled General Merritt today, asking when the transports now returning from the Philippines to San Francisco should arrive. He has had an offer of two ships for trans ports, but the price he deems excessive, and believes the transports now on their return to this country will reach San Francisco in time to take the remaining soldiers to Manila.

for he wanted to be astride his horse he started to the front. A half mile of ambu- lance riding was enough, and then came loud calls for General Wheeler's horse In a little time the old soldier was riding down the road toward the San Juan hill, his pale face telling of the illness of his frame, and the erect carriage and resolute manner denoting that Joseph Wheeler 8 days of sickness and Joseph Wheeler's days of battle never fall on the same date. All through the first of July the general, i'll as he was kept his saddle, and at night he was better than he had been for days. The work that caused the death of many brave fellow had been his cure.
 It was Napoleon's saying that in war the moral part is to the pyhiscal part as five to three General Wheeler on the day of the battle of San Juan had shown himself possessed of the physical three parts and when night came he was to show himself the owner of the more valuable traits of a commander.
 It is a story not ripe just yet for publi- cation, but it is a fact that on the night after our men had swept so gloriously up the San Juan hill feeling pervaded the American army that we had in many re- spects grabbed bear by the tail. We might hold on to the undolng of the bear, and our grasp might loosen to our own destruction. This feeling was so strong that some of the leading officers in the army went to General Wheeler and pro- posed that he fall back from the position we had captured. In other words, we should abandon all we had gained at such a fearful cost and assume the position we had taken before the battle. The men who made this proposition were no weddings. They had demonstrated their courage a hundred times, and never more brilliantly than on that very day, but the fury of the fight was over for them-the moral side of the soldier was called for, and they were wanting. General Wheeler listened to them and said:
 "We cannot fall back, gentlemen, and we would not if we could. If we cannot hold this place we can hold nothing in rear of it. We stay here, gentlemen"
 And they stayed.
 During the rebellion sixteen horses at various times were shot under General Wheeler His record as a fighting man and what Is far better, an able leader of fighting men-was firmly established then and he has added in both respects to his reputation during the short Cuban cam paign. There was in the army no more courteous gentleman, as there was no bet ter or braver soldier. Hi

MausernRifies Turned Over

Washington, Aug. 10.-Colonel Borup, or the ordnance department. has reported to the chief of ordnance of the army that he has received of the captured army at SantkHo 1000 Spanish Mauser rifles and 2,OOO Argentina Mausers. It Is estimated that there are 10.000,000 rounds of ammu- milton, but he had not had time to make an examination of this portion of the cap- tured ordnance.
 The rifles which he has examined are in good condition and suitable to be issued at once to the troops It is expected that as many more pieces of small arms will be received from outlying points near San .tiago, the 5000 being those taken with the troops in Santiago.
