special Disnatcb to The Age-Herald.

Special Dispatch to The Age-Herald.
 Selma, July 14.-Private J. Hooper Adams, of Troop K First United States volunteer cavalry Trough rders), who was wounded in the assault on Seboney on July 1, reached Selma this morning. He was met at the depot by about a hundred citizens who Justify cheered the sun-bronzed warrior as he stepped from the train, his left hand in a sling.
 He was seen by an Age-Herald represent ative and tells an interesting story of his experiences in Cuba around Santiago. He escaped without injury though he was in the thickest of the ambuscade on June 24, when the rough riders were surprised, but it was in the assault on Caney and Siboney on July and 2 when he received his wound. He says the fight was terrific and with the dead and wounded all about them the vol unteers stood the fire like veterans and never faltered
 Describing the battle he says the engage ment lasted from 7:3O in the morning until dark. His regiment was deployed as skirm- ishers. At one time they were ordered back to a creek and stood in water for about thirty minutes.
 "We moved steadily forward then,' said Private Adams, "until 1 o'clock, when we commenced driving the Spaniards back. At 3 o'clock I was wounded and sent to the rear, a ball going through by left hand. Saturday I was told to go aboard the Iro- quois, as the field hospital didn't have time to attend to wounds. such as mine. I got on board Saturday and in few hours the ship moved off On asking where we were going I was told TO Key Vest I laid down and went to sleep and you may im- agine I never entered any protest"
 On being asked if he would accept the captaincy of the colored company being raised here, he said, "I don't think I will. I am member of the rough riders and when my furlough is out, if I am able, will rejoin my command"
 He describes the climate not being so bad and that he has had plenty to eat and good water to drink.
 Of Hal Patterson and Walter Stewart, the other two Selma boys in Cuba with the rough riders, Adams says he saw them Saturday, after he was wounded and both were well.

 of Majors Brandon and Foster.

Special Dispatch to The Age-lIerald
 Tuscaloosa, July 14.-Major W. w. Bran- don is here from Miami Fla. He is look ing after his political interests for few days, expecting that he and Major Foster will get leave to return in the winter long enough to fill their seats in the legis- lature. The populists have been using the probability of their absence in the war as arguments against their election. Major Brandon spoke yesterday morning in Northport and the afternoon in Tuscaloosa.

BUYERS ARE IN THE ASCENDANT.
Devey's Victory Stifcns the Stock
Market Materially.

Market Materially.
NEW YORK, May 7.-Commodore Dewey's
decisive victory at Manila has been the
overshadowing influence in the stock mar
ket all week. The severity of the blow he
has delivered and its demonstration Of the
overwhelming superiority of the equipment
of the United States have been accepted
as promising an early settlement of the
contest. The Generalization in the political
and financial affairs OF Spain which have
developed during the week gives strong
guaranty OF the same result. The bullish
sentiment has been strongly in the ascend
ant by reason OF the prospect that the war
element will soon be eliminated. Large
professional operators. who bought on a
large scale last week in anticipation OF the
victory in the Philippines. took advantage
Of the demand for stocks on Monday morn
ing to market their holdings at a handsome
profit All their offerings were easily alb
sorbed. Continued heavy profit taking and
London selling worked slight reaction on
Tuesday, but after the Wednesday holiday
London turned buyer and there was another
violent advance. On Friday London turned
heavy seller on account of the stiffenins
rates FOR money there and unsettled the
New York market somewhat, but the rise
was not effectually checked. A renewal of
gold imports on easier conditions in the
money market, the heavy foreign demand
for food stuffs, and the strong traffic returns
by the railroads have all had increased ef-
fects with the subsistence of fear of damage
by war. Prices are from two to eight points
higher in the railway list and gains are
greater in some of the specialties.
