Kelley's Good Work.

Sergent Kelley, of Darlington, gives
the following account Of his work in
Manila for which he has been recon-
mended to the president for gallant
and m%eritorious conduct during the
capture of Manila" August 26th he
wrote:
"We have had it tough all the way up
to the intrenchments. Building lines
from Cavite through a tropical jungle,
up to our waists in mud, is not the thing
to put a fellow in good trim for fighting,
but I stood it all right, and was as good
on the day of the battle as / was when I
enlisted.
81 had charge of running the line
from the intrenchments into Manila with
the advance of the army, and when the
bombardment opened was stationed on
the beach on the left flank of the Am
erican intrenchments, and had a good
view of both the good work of the
fleet and infantry. When the order
came for the infantry charge we went
down to the beach with our insulated
wire, right with the skirmish line, and
the whistle Of the Mauser bullets as
they flew over us kept us ducking, but
only accelerated u speed.
"We went over the intrenchments
right behind the skirmishers, and as we
established an Office with tho army in
reserve, two men dropped along side our
table both shot through the neck. An
other volley passed through the building
between four Of us, o you sec there was
no lack Of excitement there.
"I've repaired, or helped repair, the
Hong Kong cable, and strung wire near
~ all over this blasted oriental place.
I've captured quite a few souvenirs here
also, among which is a Spanish sword
and a machete, and if the Lord spares
me strength and health I'll come home
with q queer load Of oriental stuff.

BIG FIND OF DREYFus EVIDENCE
Esterhazy Letters seized In Paris
md Som 20 DcriIa IaInnd.

1865 ~ A<NNAa y AHAHhns
PARIS, Nov. 23.-Search Of a credit es-
Enlistment IN this city yesterday led
to the seizure Of a number of Ester
hazy letters and documents bearing up
on the Dreyfus case.
These papers will be sent to Dreyfus
in order that he may make use of them
in preparing his defense.
They were forwarded last evening by
the French packet steamer that sailed
for Cayenne.
Colonel Picquart was taken before the
court Of cessation, but was not exam
ined, the court not having finished TAX
ing the testimony Of General Boisdefre
and General Gonse.
The Figaro says that the court of
cessation has manifested a desire TO
join the petit bleu dossier with that OF
the Dreyfus revision proceedings.
General zurlinden has consequently
decided to order the postponement of
the court martial of Colonel Plcquart
who will likely be transferred to the
custody Of the civil judicial authorities
and may claim provisional release.
The Matin claims TO know that the
court of cessation regards the alleged
confession of Dreyfus to Captain Le-
brun-Renault as a secondary question.
and it is possible that Labrun-Renault
will not be called as a witness.
The Matin also says that the Prince
Of Monaco is about to intrust the min
istry Of finance of his principally to
Major Forcinetti, formerly governor of
the Cherche-Midi prison, who was dis
missed for expressing an opinion favor
able to Dreyfus.

McVey's interpedity was absolutely
inexcusable, and the referee. believing
that there was a Job" in McVey's ac-
ton, took 1t upon himself to declare all
bets Off. Before Kelly did so, however,
many Of those who had bet on Corbett,
and they We're legion. appealed to the
referee to take such action, while the
SharSeytes shouted against such inter-
ference on Kelly's part and protested
that he had no authority to declare the
bets off. However. the referees word
went with the majority of the spec
tators, and consequently all money
paid on wagers made will be refunded.
