HOOLEY's BANKRUPTCY.
Sensational Testimony Against the
Peers Brought in.


London, July 27-The public examina-
ton in the Bankruptcy Court to-day into
the affairs of Ernest Terah Hooley, the
company promoter, for whose property, on
his own application, a receiver was APP
pointed on July %, attracted a big crowd
of people.
The debtor attributed his failure chiefly
to his partner, a man named Rucker,
Gripping the business by drawing out $780,,
600 within two months.
In detailing the flotation of the Dunlap
Tire Company, Mr.. Hooley said the names
of the directorate cost between $50, 900 and
100000 including those of Lord Albemarle
1880 and Lord De La War; e, 500
The testimony is creating even more
of a flutter in the West End of London
than in the city proper. The revelations
concerning such men as the Earl de la
War; and the Earl of Albermarle have
been received with astonishment.
Numerous instances we're disclosed by
Mr.. Hooiey in which peer bearing a
proud title. would charge the promoter
a sum ranging from 1000 to $1,000 for an
introduction TO another peer.
Thus, Mr.. Hoo'ey said, the Earl of de la
War; received 2.0O0 for an introduction to
Lord Freville, while Lord Deerhurst (who
married Miss Bonynge of San Francisco
was paid $1,000 for an introduction to Lord

Santiago de Cuba, July q, $50 p. M
Lieut. Col. Angel Resell, who after taking
confirmation OF the Instructions to surren-
der from Gen. Toral to Gen. Parajo, mill
tary governor Of Guantanamo, returned
here this afternoon, said to an Associated
Press correspondent that the first intima-
ton Guantanamo had Of the surrender Of
Santiago and terms thereof was on July
p, when Rear Admiral Sampson sent
letter to Gen. Parajo, asking what number
OF rations should be sent to his garrison,
as they had been surrendered on the 18th.
Gen. Parajo. being ignorant of the sur
render, refused to credit the message and
accept rauons. answering Admiral samp-
son 10 that effect.
Admiral Sampson then sent copy of
the terms of surrender whereupon Gen.
Parajo decided to inquire Of Gen Toral
at Santiago whether the news was true
and Lieut.. Col. Resell was appointed to
come here. He returned with this con-
firmation and the surrender of Guantana-
mo took place yesterday.
Col Resell says the condition at Guam
tanamo are awful and the troops are lit
orally starving For the last eight days
they have had no food. on mounting
guard the soldiers were obliged to sit
being too weak TO stand, and it was i'm
possible to make them build trenches, as
they fell from exhaustion. There are 1000
sick in Guantanamo suffering from dis
eases increased by hunger.
The French cruiser Rigault de Genuilly
was refused permission by Admiral Samp-
son to land grain and provisions for the
relief of the French colony at Guantana-
mo. All hope was abandoned and the suf-
ferers We're awaiting death from starva-
ton.
The conditions of Guantanamo, Col. Rus
sci says, are worse than those at Santi-
ago.
Lieut.. Col Ewens of the Ninth Infantry
received the surrender of Guantanamo yes
terday. The Spanish troops will remain
in the town until transported.
