SITUATION AT MANILA.
AguinaIdO's Power Over His Follow
ers Said to BE Weakening.

HONG-KONG, Aug. 10.-Advices from
Cavite and Manila under date of Aug. 3
say: The Americans are Disguised with the
conduct of Aguinaldo, the insurgent leader,
whose power is weakening owing to the fact
that the Philippines are realizing the I'M
substantially Of his promises. Two insur-
gent steamers are now in Manila bay pro-
visioning in order to insure Aguinaldo's es-
cape If necessary.
The American field hospital worked
splendidly under CALLING battle at Malate,
and the courage and steadiness of all ranks
regulars and volunteers, caused General
Greene to officially thank the troops. The
Spaniards used Mauser and Remington
rifles with brass-coated bullets.
The British consul at Manila died of
dysentery yesterday, but his remains can
not be buried in the Protestant cemetery
on account of the insurgents.
For four days a typhoon has ragged The
suburbs have been flooded, the trenches
swamped and the sand bags dissolved.
Disease is raging in Manila Mere infants
CT thirteen years of age are enlisted in the
Spanish army. They become officers and
fight in the trenches. The Manila newspa-
pers applaud what they should condemn as
a crime.
French consul, who is the dean of the
foreign representatives at Manila, took the
initiative in unofficial "feelers'' looking to
an armistice pending peace, but the Ameri-
cans are not authorized to accept anything
except surrender, and the Spaniards will
never surrender The latter hope to endure
until peace is declared between Washing
ton and Madrid. The hardships of the
situation chiefly pressing on the natives
and the foreigners. The officials and the
military monopolize the food supplies,
and though quarter of a million of the
population starve, the fact goes practically
UNDECIDED. The ten thousand Spaniards in
Manila are confident of their safety They
believe that the strong walls of the city
will resist for three months, and they are
resolved, regardless of the fate of women
and children, finally to sell their lives dear

lish, the Americans and Philippines. The
correspondent has seen natives eating rats
and mice, and it is reported that they are

Reply to the Bankrupt's Charges.

LONDON, Aug. 10.-On the resumption to-
day of the examination into the affairs of
Ernest T. Hooley. the bankrupt company
promoter. the registrar announced that Mr..
Hooley was i'll and that his examination
must be adjourned. 1t was decided, however.
to allow those who have been charged with
receiving brides to make sworn statements.
Mr. Duguid, formerly financial editor of the
Pail Mall Gazette. explained that the $4,000
Mr. Hooley paid him was a compensation,
explaining that Mr.. Hooley appointed him
city editor of a newspaper, but was unable
to fulfill his contract owing to the objections
of Mr.. Harry Marks Mr.. Hooley on an
other occasion, offered the witness $4,000 in
shares of a hydraulic company, which he re-
fused to accept.
Earl De La War; was next sworn. He adj
mitted having received $4,000 through Mr..
Broadley. Mr.. Hooley's agent, after the flo
tation of the Dunlop Company but witness
said he had not received anything to
transmit to the Earl of Albemarle. nor had
he received $4,000 for introducing Mr.. Hoo
ley to Lord Greville.
cable dispatch was read from Lord Nor
bury denying that he had received $1,000 to
join the Singer board.
Mr.. Praed, the manager of Lloyd's Bank,
said the statements of Mr.. 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 it held against Mr.. Hooleys over
draft. Continuing, witness said Mr.; Hooley
once said to him You know, Praed, have
lied to everybody in nearly every case, but
1 have always told you the TRUTH The
examination was adjourned until Friday

In the Queens bench division of the High
Court of Justice to-day Justice Wright
granted counsel for the official receiver of
the Hooley estate permission to serve notice
upon Earl De la War; and Messrs. Bradley,
Bradshaw and Rucker that on Friday next
a motion would be made to commit them
for contempt of court in attempting to in
duce Mr.. Hooley to falsify his evidence. In
support of the application counsel presented
the telegram from Earl De la War; to
Mr.. Hooley. mentioned at Mr.. Hooley's last
examination, which read as follows: please
make it clear that 1 did not have $4,000
for Dunlop nor kept anything due Abe
marie. Also that no conditions were made
in regard to payment for joining the board.

MIR. BALFoUR EXPLAINS.
He Partly Outlines Great Britain's
Policy as to China.

LONDON, Aug. 1O.-During the debate ON
the appropriation bill in the House of Com
mons to-day Sir Charles Dixie advanced
Radical, opened an attack on the govern
ments foreign policy, and especially in the
far East. The Liberal leader in the House,
Sir William Harcourt, followed in the same
strain. The government leader. Mr.. Bal
four, replying to the last speaker, said he
regretted the absence of the parliamentary
secretary for the Foreign Office, Mr.. Cur
zon on account of indispCstion, adding "Es-
pecially as it would have been the last oc-
cason for him to address the House on for
eign affairs, a subject upon which he has
made so great and deserved reputation"
(Cheers.) Mr.. Balfour then announced Mr..
Curzon's acceptance of the vice royalty of
India, in succession to the Earl of Elgin
Mr.. Balfour contended there was no evil
dence Of preference having been given to
foreign manufacturers or traders in China,
nor of an intention to put up barriers
against British subjects 1t was Impossible,
he said, to foresee how the struggle for
concessions would end, but he saw no rea-
son for the pessimistic views entertained in
some quarters. Regarding Shan-Tung Mr..
Balfour said: I'VE must treat Germany
as we expect her to treat us" Referring to
Russia, Mr. Balfour said he saw no neces-
sity for taking a pessimiStic view of the
situation, and he would be surprised If the
British concessionaires did not get their
full share.
Mr. Balfour's speech appeared to have
been intended as a statement of the gov
ernment's policy in China. which the OPP
position has been demanding before the
close of Parliament He did not enter into
details of the complications, and the drift
of his explanation was that the govern
ments critics expected impossibilities. In
the course of his remarks Mr. Balfour SAID
it could not be pretended that the British
empire alone or in alliance with another
empire could prevent the Legitimate de-
velopment of other commercial and mill
tary empires. Mr.. Balfour then said:
Though we may not anticipate maintain
ing our old relative superiority in China,
trade will increase as rapidly in the future
as in the past. The question of equal ia
cilities of trade is distinct from the ques-
ton of CONCESSIONS

LocaI Observatioms Tuesday.
West Indian Service Inaugurated.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 1O.-The West In
dian weather service was practically in
augurated to-day, when the Washington
office received reports from six of the ten
observation stations recently established
there. Prof Willis L. Moore stated tonight
that the system is now in complete working
order, and the department will be enabled
to forecast the terrible West Indian hurri-
canes that for years have swept the At
lantic coast without warning. The whole
group of islands has been plotted, and
meteorological conditions are charted daily
at the recently established stations. 1t was
feared that the West Indian service might
be hampered by delays in the cablegrams,
but Prof. Moore stated that the reports to-
day reached the Washington office within
one hour and a half after the observa tons
were made. Every effort was put forth to
get the West Indian service in working
order, as the hurricane season is approach
ing and the officials are much gratifed at
the success that their efforts have met. 1t
is believed that for the first time in history
warning can be given of the approach of
the next of these disastrous storms that are
born in the vicinity of the Windward ISL
ands.
The vacancy in the Washington bureau
caused by the death of Prof. Morrill, has
been filled by the promotion of Prof II. c.
Frankenield, now on duty at st. Louis, to
be national forecaster, on duty at Wash
ington.

WASHINGTON, Aug 10-General Mer-
ritt's force in the Philippines is to be in
creased by seven thousand troops now at
San Francisco, which will be sent as soon
as transports can be obtained Secretary AL
ger said to-day that two thousand troops
would sail at once. The department has not
sufficient transports at hand to convey the
remaining five thousand at present, but the
secretary says with those already arrived
and on the sea, together with the two thou
sand which are to leave San Francisco at
once, General Merritt will have a force of
eighteen thousand and there will be no
hurry for the embarkation of the remaining
troops. The department has had an offer of
two ships to transport the troops, but con-
sidered the price asked excessive and it is
possible the return of the transports that
first went to Manila will be awaited. The
secretary to-day cabled General Merritt,
asking him when it was expected the trans
ports would return to San Francisco and if
they are likely to reach that point within
three weeks their return will be awaited
as it will take at least that length of time
to get the new transports in readiness to
carry troops.

PRIZES RELEASED.
Three Norwegian Steamers and n YES
sci That Carried the French Flag.

KEY WEST. Fla. Aug. 10.-Acting under
orders from Washington, Commodore Rem
ey has released the Norwegian steamers
Aladdin and Bergen, recently captured ny
the gunboats Hawk and Viking, respective
ly, while bound from Tampico and Vera
Cruz, Mexico. for Sagua la Grande, Cuba.
The ground for their release is that Sagua
is not a blockaded port. Both steamers
left here for their original destination. A
like disposition will doubtless be made of
the case of the Norwegian steamer Frank
lin, captured by the Hawk, while bound
for Sagua.
This afternoon Commodore Remy re-
ceived orders from Washington to release
the steamer Tabasqueno, captured by the
gunboat Hawk while making for Sagua La
Grande under the French flag. Her case
falls in the same category as the Bergen,
Aladdin and Franklin, under the condition
that Sagua La Grande is not a blockaded
port.
The auxiliary gunboat Hornet arrived
here this afternoon with the Spanish two
masted schooner Silva Maria, captured
while running from Batabano to the Isle of
Pines for food The Silva Maria carried
six men but no cargo.

REVENUE LAW RULINGS
WHEN STAMPS MUST BE PLACED ON
CERTIFICATES OF STOCK.
Tax Imposed on Every Change of
ming Accounts at Large Stores.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 10.-The commits
sioner of internal revenue has made the fol-
lowing ruling in regard to the tax on GER
tifcates of stock:
THE intention Of the law was to tax orig
inal issues of certificates of stock and to
impose a tax on every change of owner
ship When stock is transferred, for which
no certificate has been issued, and the evil
dence of transfer is shown only by the
books of the company, the stamps shall be
placed on such books.
Where the change of ownership is by the
transfer of a certificate and the certificate
contains blank form of assignment on the
back which is filed in by the insertion of
the name of the person to whom the stock
is transferred. the stamp shall be placed
upon the certificate.
I'm case of an agreement to sell, or where
the transfer is by the delivery of the cer-
tificate, signed in blank, the name of the
transferee or vendee to be filled in after
wards, there shall be made and delivered
by the seller to the buyer a bill or memo
randum of sale, to which the stamp should
be affixed
Where certificates of stock are sold, and
the tax has been paid, and stamps affixed
in the manner stated, when the transfer
is made on the DOCKS or the company from
the name of the party selling to the name
of the purchaser, no stamps are required
on the certificates issued in lieu of those
Cancelled"
IE regard to the liability to the internal
revenue tax OF persons who purchase goods
for others, the commissioner has ruled that
tho law does not apply TO such persons
whose business it is to seek out customers
and take their orders on samples furnished
by the merchant, and then purchase, re-
ceive and forward the goods on a commits
sion or discount allowed by the merchant.
But persons who have running accounts at
large stores and whose friends and custom
ers make purchases at such stores and have
the goods which they buy charged to these
accounts, the person in whose name the
account stands, collecting from the actual
purchaser from time to time and making
monthly settlements with the stores and
being allowed discounts, are subject to tax.
1t is understood from this statement that
those ''installment purchasers do not re-
ceive and deliver the goods thus disposed of,
ard in that case they are held to be subject
to tax as commercial brokers.
