senior sagasta Replies to Questions Con-
corning the situation at Manila
Little Ground for Hope.

LONDON. June 1s-Senor Sagasta re-
plyinp in the cortes to-day to question
as TO whether Manila had fallen, re-
piled i'm the negative, but he added that
the situation there was of the gravest
character.
The dispatches from Madrid agree
that this statement, together with the
report that the rebels are attacking
the walled city, has caused intense de-
preston. Japan, according to special
dispatch from Shanghai, is sending adj
ditional war ships to Manila, and 1t IS
reported at Shanghai that the Ameri-
can troops have arrived at Manila.
Special dispatches from Hong Kong,
confirming former dispatches from
Manila. add the rumor that Capt Gen.
Augustus wife and family are held as
hostages at Cavitc.
| From the same source comes the re-
port that Tondo. capital of the prov
ince OF Tondo, on the Pasig, nearly OPP
positc Manila, has been the scene OF
great fire, and presumably, the pc
troleum works there were burned.

June ID, VIA KINGSTON, Jamaica, June
1.-THE brick fort and earthworks At
Caimenara at the end of the railroad
leading to the city of Guantanamo were
demolished to-day by the bombardment
of the Texas, Marblehead and Suwanee.
The warships opened tire at p. M,
and the bombardment lasted one hour
and "A half.
The Texas steamed slowly up the
channel leading to the notifications.
followed closely by the Marblehead.
The Texas fired two shots as range
finders, both falling short and to the
right. The Marblehead stood off to the
west side of the channel, and opened
with her five-inch guns on the fort,
knocking down part of the wall.
The Texas then threw in some H.
inch shells, tearing down the wall of
the fort. and throwing tha bricks and
mortar 30 feet in the air.
After badly damaging the fort, the
Marblehead stood further in to shell
the earthworxs and barracks at the
west end of the harbor. She knocked
them into the air and, when the Span
iards fled from the fort they werc
shelled by the st. Pall and driven in
to the bushes.
The Spaniards fired only five shots,
which did no damage. After the ships
stood out into the harbor the Spanish
in the bushes opened fire on the Mar
blehead's launch, which replied vigor-
ously.
The Suwanee then turned back and
shelled the bushes, driving the Span
iards inland

BEHRING SEA CLAIMS PAID.
Judge Day Formally Delivered the Dr~n
TO SIR Julian Pauncefote, the BRIT
ish Ambassador.

W Asn.NoroN, June 1.-THE closing
chapter in the story of the Behring sea
claims, running over a period of sew
cral years was enacted in the once Oh
the secretary of state yesterday after
noon. when Secretary of state Day dehv'
cred to Sir Julian Paunce-
fee, the British ambassador,
draft drawn on the treasurer
of the United States in the sum
of s473.l5l.2o, AS payment IN fuii
of the award of the joint commission
convened in accordance with the terms
of the Paris tribunal of arbitration oil
1892. Yesterday was the last day al.
lowed for payment under the terms oil
the award, and it was made In pursu.
ance of "A special act of congress passed
by that body Wednesday and approved
by the president yesterday morning.
These claims arose through the SELF
ure. by United States revenue cutters
and naval vessels detailed for the pur-
pose of patrolling the Behring sea, OF
number of small schooners hailing
from British Columbia that had been
engaged in sealing. by SO doing they
had violated the law of the United
States, but when the whole general
subject was considered at the Paris
arbitration it was decided as an inci-
dent that the United States had at the
time these seizures were made, no ex
elusive jurisdiction over the waters OF
Behring sea outside of the three-mils
limit. and that consequently the own
ers of the vessels were entitled to com
plete satisfaction for the losses they
had sustained The seizures occurred
all in one year, for in the following
year the United States and Grea,
Britain had arranged a modus vivendi
which practically excluded sealing
vessels from the waters of Behring sea
during the time when the seals are
breeding
The damages awarded by the JOINT
conmission,t to which the United States
was n party, were considerably less
than the aggregate of the claims OF the
owners of the sealing vessels, but tho
amount was still in excess OF the hg
ure which Secretary Gresham had ar
ranged to pay for the damages done

HAVE MADE ANOTHER RAISE.
The Bank Of Spain Again to- tlie Rescue
Failed to Communicates With
Gen. Anguish.

MADRID, June 1.-THE Bunk OF Spain
has agreed to place 2s,0OO,o 600 pesates
ut the disposal of the treasury for war
purposes
A dispatch received here from the
commander of the Nfzcayas island and
the Island of Mindinao, the latter the
second largest island of the Philippine
group. under date of June IL, says that
an envoy sent to Iloilo, island of
Panay, with instructions to endeavor
to communicate with Gov.-Gen. Au-
rusti, failed in his mission. The mes
senger, the dispatch adds, says that
the telegraph lines in the island OF
Luzon had been cut by the insur-
gents. and that the native milicia were
deserving by wholesale. The Vizcayas
islands and the island of Mindano,
however, were quiet.
A dispatch from the governor OF SAN
tiapo de Cuba says that nothing OF
fresh nature has occurred at that place.
Premier Sagasta upon leaving the
cabinet council yesterday said thas two
provinces of Luzon were still loyal to
the Spanish government, but that the
situation in Manila was of the most
serious character.
