OF THE "FIGHTING NINTH
Lieut.. Wood Arrives With n Fruc
tured jaw and Teeth Missing

Lieut.. Wood Arrives With Fruc-
tured Jaw and Teeth Missing.
Lieut.. w. S. Wood, adjutant of the 9th
Cavalry, was a visitor at the War Depart
ment this morning, and had an Interesting
interview with Secretary Alger and Ad-
jutant General Corbin. The 9th Cavalry,
which is a colored regiment, rendered con-
spicuously gallant service during the fierce
fighting around Santiago on the first and
second instant. While leading his forces
in a valiant dash against the enemy's en-
trenchments. Lieut.. Wood was disabled by
a Mauser bullet. which passed through his
lower jaw and lodged in his shoulder The
bullet fractured his lower jaw and carried
away a number of his teeth, besides badly
shattering the remainder. He was brought
to this country on one of the hospital ships
and was in the hands of a prominent
dentist this morning for the purpose of
having his jaws repaired so as to enable
him to masticate his food.
The question having been submitted to
the surgeon general of the army that off,
cial has decided that the expense attend
ing the necessary dental operations is
legitimate claim against the government.
This action is based on the general policy
of the government of providing artificial
limbs to soldiers who have lost such mem
bers as a result of wounds in battle

English Promoter HOOIey's Revela-
tons About Money Paid Directors.

lions About Money Paid Directors.
LONDON. July 2T.-The public examina-
ton in the bankruptcy court today into
the affairs of Mr.. Ernest Terah Hooley, the
company promoter, for whose property, on
his application, receiver was APP
pointed on July %, attracted a big crowd
of people. The debtor attributed his fail
ure chiefly to his partner, man named
Rucker GRIPPING the business by drawing
cut fJO0,O00 within two months. ,a
In detailing the fotation of the Dunlop
Tire Company, Mr.. Hooley said the names
On the directorate cost between 10000 and
400 00O including those of Lord ALDER,
n arle; f125OQ, and Lord De la War;, Ed
900. Ss-.- .- .-.--.x
In connection with the fiotatfon. Mr..
Hooley also said he lost $4,000 on press
calls these being ''shares intended for
people connected with newspapers whose
I ames have not been divulged. though it
is expected thay will be made public later.
In the course of his testimony Mr.. Hooley
detailed the payments he had made TO
newspapers. including, as alleged, the Pail
Mall Gazette. the Financial Post and a
number of smaller papers.
When Mr.. Hoo,ey questioned about
10000 paid to Harry Marks, editor of the
Financial News, he denied that it was in
consideration of the insertion of puffs' in
the paper named.
As a matter of fact, the supposed profit
of the hotation of the Dunlop Tire Com
pany, amounting to. Il, 100000, had been
"sweated" away to under 100000.

nership. 1t is felt that there is something
utterly incongruous In partnership OF
this sort between governments so different
in character and. moreover, the relations
growing out of such partnership
are such as to threaten complica-
lions. This, 1T is said, would of itself be
sufficient reason for our not entering into
such an arrangement as to the government
of the Philippines. But aside from that
the circumstances surrounding our capture
of those islands, and, i'll fact, of our going
to war with Spain, preclude the possibility
of our acknowledging the joint interest of
any government with US in making a peace
settlement. Such recognition of the in
terest of any foreign power in our affairs
would lead to entaL clements which would
probably seriously hamper US in the fu-
ture. practically destroying our liberty of
action, which 1t has been always a prin-
ciple to insist upon and to maintain.

RELEASE OF VESSEL ASKED.
Request From, French Embassy Re
r. gnrding the Rodriguez.


The French embassy has called the at
tention of the State Department to the cir
cumstances connected with the seizure of
eriguez off Porto Rico, and has requested
the immediate releasesof that steamer This
action was taken simultaneously with a
protest from the French Transatlantic
Steamship Company against the seizure
Today the State Department submitted
all the papers In, the case to the Depart
ment of Justice with view of getting an
opinion on the legal questions involved in
the seizure.
Mr.. Edward K. Jones of New York is
here in behalf of the owners of the steam
ship, and was in conference today with the
authorities of the State Department and
Department of Justice. The grounds of the
representations by the embassy are that
the Rodriguez was engaged in ordinary
mercantile pursuits at the time she was
captured by United States warship and
taken far out Of hex course to Charleston,
S. c., where she js}now detained, to the
great inconvepieHce and loss, 1t rs said, of
her owners and passengers. tt appears
also that she he's otboar I'd the official mail
of the French. government destined to the
French minister d. Port au Prince.
1t is said tAatcsher manifest clearly es-
tablishes that \sha. was not intending to
enter the blocaasag, port. and that her
destination wass to "a neutral port. The
representations also show that she was
in the open sea, nine miles off the block
AIDED coast at \he time Of her seizure. The
representations<of the French embassy are
those usually made in behalf of French
interests, and thAFe is no disposition at
other than a friendly inquiry with a view
to getting at the FACTS of the case, and
remedying them If good grounds are made
against the capture.

Probability.

While no additional applications were re-
ceived by the District Commissioners today
from persons desiring appointment as
members of the board of permanent as
siStant assessors, a delegation of colored
men called in behalf of Mr.. Daniel Murray,
colored, who desires to become a member
of the board The delegation consisted of
Rev. ]. A. Taylor, Rev Bishop Johnson,
Rev. DE. Wiseman, Rev l. l.. Thomas
and Messrs. Eugene Brooks, John Craig,
Alfred B. Cosey and Samuel Lee Mr.
Taylor and Mr.. johnson told the Commits
sioners that the appointment of Mr.. Muir
ray would be very pleasing to the colored
people of the District, as he is a man who
enjoys. not only their respect and conf
dence, but also that of the white popula-
ton.
The appointment of Mr.. Murray. they ex-
planned, is not desired because of the sal
airy, fer ne now holds important posi-
ton and is man of property. But they
believed that a colored man SHOULD be
appointed to the board. ana they suggested
him as the representative man of their
race. The Commissioners listened atten-
lively to all that was said of Mr.. Murray,
and promised to give his application very
careful consideration.
Mr.. Alexander Mckenzie, the deputy au-
d;tor of the District, and one who has
been associated with the District govern
ment since the days of the old legislative
assembly, was today very prominently
mentioned for a place on he board.
Mr. McKerzie.s friends claim that no
better qualified man could be selected. and
it is said the Commissioners think very IA
vorably of him. The same is true OF MIR. w.
B. Bryan, who, while he has not applied for
appointment, will be most strongly backed
for appointment because of his high quail
fcations and long experience in business
matters ard real estate values. By those
who claim to know it is said Mr.. Bryan
is quite sure of appointment
The present members of the board
Messrs. Bates, Morsell and Johnson-are
being urged for reappointment by many
people and today Mr.. John Joy Edison pre-
scented a petition, signed by the members
of the board of trade committee on taxa
ton and assessments. praying for the re-
appointment of the present board. While
the terms of the board expire the 10Th of
the month. they will serve until their sue
cessors are appointed and qualify. and for
that reason it may be that the Commits
sioners will not unnecessarily hurry them
selves in considering the matter of max
ing changes in the personnel of the board.
