MAY Be HELD FOR CONTEMPT
Earl de la War; Denies That He Ac-
copied Large Sums as Compensa-
ton for Introductions.

London. August 16.-In the queens bench
division Of the high court OF justice looay
Justice Wright resumed the nearing Oh l'o
motion to commit Earl de ia war;, Messrs'
Broadley Bradshaw and Rucker Tor con-
tempt Of court IN attempting to induce En-
nest Terah Hooley, the bankrupt company
promoter to falsify his evidence IN the
bankruptcy court.
Hooley who sworn, explained the
Discrepancy between his statement that ne
had paid Earl de la War; G5o0o ana the
earls statement that he had only received
G25, 600 by saying that he PAD the latter
925,00O directly and subsequently PAID MN
an equal amount through Mr. Broadiey'
Mr. Hooley's agent. for division between
Earl de la War; and Lord Albemarle.
Hooey said he had since discovered tllat
BroaGley kept the ,G25O0o.
Regarding Earl de la Wars alleged ofer
Of Fl 600 If he O4ooley) would contradict his
former evidence. the bankrupt said that
Broadley at the Brunswick motel oHeFeu
him the money in the earPs presence; ana
the correction of certain statements Whlch
Earl de la War; wished him to make was
written out there. HOoley deposed IN the
presence of the carl.
After severe cross-examination in which
Mr. IIooley stuck to his guns, Justice
Wright dismissed the summons against Mr..
Bradshaw.
The latter then went on the stand and
asserted that Earl de In War;. in the
course of a conversation with Bradshaw as
to Mr. Hoolcy's position, offered to pay
Hooey's hotel bill for a month and said
he was prepared also to help Mrs, HoOley
to the extent Of $1,000 Earl de Ia War;,
Mr.. Bradshaw declared. asked him not to
Lot Mr.. Hoolev know Of the offer, as the
matter might be construed as an attempt
at bribery. 1t was understood at the same
interview that Mr. Hooley would be asked
to correct his original evidence.
While on the stand Mr.. Bradshaw faint

repeated in substance the testimony he mad

nothing for becoming director in the Dun

gested TO Mr.. Bradshaw that the latter
could, perhaps, induce Mr.. lIoclcy 10 cor
rect certain misstatcments. During cross
examination with reference to his telegram
to Mr. Hooley asking him to make 1t
clear that he Ohc earD did not receive $50

BY VIRTUE OF OCCUPATION.
MANILA IS HELD, AND NOT UNI
DER TERMS OF PROTOCOL.
Peace Armistice Not Binding Until
Official Notice Has Been Re
ceived by Commanders.

WASHINGTON August T-Now that the
surrender is officially reported, it can be
stated that Manila is being held by virtue
of the military occupation and surrender
and not by virtue of the protocol. The
difference is said to amount TO little III
practical results yet such as it is officials
agree that the occupation Is the result oil
the combined military and naval opera
tons According to Admiral DeWeyS dis
patch the surrender occurred about p. m
last Saturday. The peace protocol was
signed at 4:23 p. m. on Friday. 1t IS sad
that the difference in time between Mania
and Washington is such that the SURRENDER
reckoned on Washington time, would he
about twelve hours ahead of the time at
Manila, or about a. m. Saturday morn
ing.
In point of actual time, therefore, the
signing Of the peace protocol preceded the
actual surrender of Manila by a few hours.
But it is IL well established rule of military
law accepted the world over, that 4 peace
armistice or cessation of hostlities does not
become binding upon commanding officers
until they receive actual notice of it. This
rule is expressed in the United States regu-
Iations governing armies in the fed as
follows
article 139-An arm;stlce is binding upon
the heiligerents from the day Of the agreed
army are responsible from the day only
when they receive official notice OF its eN-
istenCe."
Under this rule Admiral Dewey and
General Merritt would be bound by the
armistice only from the time the notice OF
it reached them at Manila. This could not
have occurred on Saturday, prior to tho
bombardment. as the cable was not work
ing and no dispatch boat could have gotten
through with the notice before Monday or
Tuesday In short it is agreed in al ON
ctal quarters that the forcible taking OIL
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 the mutual arrange
ment between the two countries. This may
become material when the question arises
as 10 the future Of the Philippines. for II IS
likely to proceed from the American stand
point that Manila was taken by force OF
arms and is so occupied.
There has been no time to consider what
will be done with the 1000 Spanish prison
ers taken. but the fact that an amICabl2
understanding has been reached with Spain
as 10 the occupation OF Manila Will probably
operate to tighten the condition of these
prisoners.

Madrid, August 16.-The government does
