MANILA HAS NOT FALLEN.
Cablegrams From the Islands Say Nothing
of the Rumored Surrender.

Cablegrams From the Islands Say Nothing
of the Rumored Surrender.
LONDON, June 14.-Secretary Briggs
of the Manila Railway company, who
is in constant communication with
Manila, discredits the rumors in circu-
lation as to the surrender of that
place. He received cable message
from Manila yesterday via Hong
Kong, reporting that the road was
working. No mention was made
of the city having surrendered.
Mr.. Briggs believes the Spaniards
would surrender to Rear Admiral
Dewey in preference to being con-
quered by the insurgents. The Sec
rotary is informed that full under
standing exists between Admiral
Dewey and the insurgents and it is
generally believed at Hong Kong and
Manila, that before Aguinaldo, the in
surgent leader, consented to return to
Manila he secured 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 al
legged 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 asserts that all the Euro
peans there were surprised that they
mustered up courage enough to revolt.

Immense Sales by Him Smashes
the Chicago Market.
GREAT SLUMP IN PRICES.
All His Big Profits Are Supposed to Have
Vanished - Big Declines In Prices
Everywhere - September Wheat Is
Under Seventy Cents.

CHICAGO, June 14.-All interest on
the board of trade to-day conferred in
the doings of Joseph Letter and the re-
suits of his famous big deal in wheat.
A tremendous slump in prices was
generally attributed to immense sales
for him. According to one authority,
Mr.. Letter ordered all his trades closed
out at the opening of the days trans
actions in the wheat pit, and it was
stated that at least 100000 bushels OF
wheat were liquidated for him in the
Chicago market alone. The severest,
breaks in prices, however, were in the
Northwest, where it was said LIE tier
had his big lines.
Cash wheat in Duluth went off 19
cents and in Minneapolis II cents.
