MANlLA'S FALL DISCREDITEO

London, June 13.--Secretary Briggs, of
the Manila Railway company, who is in
constant communication with Manila.
discredits the rumors in circulation as to
the surrender of that place. He received
cable message from Manila yesterday,
via Hong Kong, reporting that the road
was working an dino mention was made of
the city having surrendered. Mr.. Briggs
believed the Spaniards would surrender
to Rear Admiral Dewey IN preference to
being conquered by the insurgents. The
secretary is informed that a fun IN
derstanding exists between Admiral Dew
ey and the insurgents, and It Is generally
believed at Hong Kong and Manila that
before Aguinaldo, the inSurgent leader,
cOnsente dto return to Manila, he secur-
ed pledges that the United States would
not leave him in the lurch by returning
the Philippine Islands to the Spaniards.
Referring to the Spanish tales Of alleg-
ed insurgent atrocities, Mr. Briggs says,
they are utter nonsense. He adds that
the natives of the Philippine Islands are
the mildest people in the world and assert
that all the Europeans there were sur
prised that they mustered up courage
enough to revolt.

THINGS THAT BUOY SPAIN UP

Paris, June 1S.-The Temps this after
noon publishes a dispatch from Madrid
in which it is said that the comnunIca-
tons exchanged by hign officials at Mi
drid, Vienna and Berlin do not treat di-
rectly of peace but that IAN important
view of the situation may arise out of
Germany's hostility to the development
of American intervention in the Philip
pine Islands,"
In connection with the reported ineen-
ton of the United States to occupy the
Ladrone and Caroline islands. it is pointed
out in the dispatch that Germany has
long desired Ponape as coaling station"
"As the Spanish cabinet does not con-
slider the moment arrived to discuss
peace" the dispatch continues. ''the war
party and the press interpret the interna-
tional pour parleurs as an indication of
an understanding and combination pos
sibly leading to European cooperation

HOW THE SENATE STANDS

washington, June 13.-Senators Lodge
and ElkinS made a partial canvass OF the
senate on the Hawaiian question today
and they say that they are satisfied that
a sufficient number of advocates Of annex
alton will remain in Washington to make
a quorum TO insure the passage Of the
house resolution through that body They
count upon prolonged daily sessions IN
til action is had. The annexationists have
received renewed assurances Of the earn
est support of the administration and
hope on this account TO control practically
the solid support of the Republican side
Of the chamber. They count upon eight
or ten votes from the Democrats.

THE Spanish lost the following vessels:

Guiding the captain, and ninety wounded.
I am happy to report that the damage
done to the squadron under my command
was inconsiderable. There were none
killed, and only seven men in the squa-

Several of the vessels were struck and
even penetrated, but the damage was of
the slightest, and the squadron is IN rs
