LONDON, June 1S-Senor Sagasta. re-
plying in the Cortes to-day, to a question
as TO whether Manila had fallen, answer
ed in the negative, but he added that the
situation there was of the gravest cha
racter. 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.

from Shanghai is sending additional
warships TO Manila, and it is reported at
Shanghai that the American troops have
arrived at Manila.
Special dispatches from Hongkong, con-
firming the dispatches to the Associated
Press from Manila, add the rumor that
Captain-General Augustus wife and
family are held as hostages at Cavite.

From the same source came the report
that Tondo, capital of the province OF
Tondo. on the Pasig nearly opposite Ma
Mia, has been the scene of a great fire,
presumably from the ignition of certain
petroleum. works that are there
IL appears that when the German
cruiser Kaiserin Augusta entered Manila
Bay she took the unusual course of sa-
lutlng the Spanish flag. This caused
much comment. Another rumor is that
Captain-General Aususti has resigned,
bccause Of a disagreement with the Arch
bishop of Manila.

UNIDENTIFIED CORPSE.
Body Of a 16-Year-Old Lad Found
Near kenoSha-No
Clue.

kneoshG, Wis, Sept. 10.-LSpecial.]-
Farmer John Thompson found the dead
body of a boy on the beach of Lake Mich
igan south of this city yesterday morning.
Who the boy is and whether a case of
murder or suicide is a question not likely
to be answered soon. The body was TAX
en- to Kirchbaum's morgue. where it
awaits Identification.
The appearance Of the corpse indicates
that death happened a long time ago. and
that it had lain in the water many weeks.
The head aud arms are entirely stripped
Of flesh. A description Of the corpse
given by the police is that of = hey IA
to 16 years Of age: weight 120 pounds;
height ) feet and 4 inches.
The Chicago police thought that it was
the body of j. Harrison Bartlett, the 16-
ycar-Cld lad who disappeared from his
home in Chicago. in cOmDany with a
pcddler named Ray Livingston and a
playmate, Gerald Rarcll. on July IA last.
The father Of young Bartlett was here
early this morning and says that he
knows the body found is not the body
of his son.
The corpse was clad only in a pair of
knee pants of dark material, supported
by an old pair of suspenders, which were
tied to the pants on one side with a shoe
string. About fifty feet from where the
body lay, a wristband of a shirt was
found bearing the name of +. Schiffman.
Whether this concerns the body is Il mat
ter of speculation at present. The body
will be buried this afternoon.
