REPORTED FALL OF. MANILA DIS
CREDITED.

London, June 14.-Secretary Briggs of
the Manila railway company, who is in
communication with Manila, discredits
the rumors in circulation as to the sur
render of that place. File received a cable
message yesterday via Hong Kong, report
ing that the road was working and no
mention was made of the city having
surrendered
Mr.. Briggs believes the spaniards would
surrender to Rear Admiral Dewey in
preference to being conquered by the in
surgents. The secretary is informed that
full understanding exists between Adj
miral Dewey and the insurgents and it is
generally believed Mt Hong Kong and
Manila that before Aguinaldo, the insur-
gent leader, consented to return to Ma
Mia, 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 tie Philippine islands
are the mildest people in the world and
asserts that all the Europeans there were
surprised that they mustered up courage
to revolt.
