Madrid, June 16.-5 p. ma dispatch
received here from the commander Of the
Vizcayas islands and Mindanao, the lat
ter the second largest island of the Phil
1ppine group, undor date OF June 18th,
says that an envoy sent to IIoilo, Island
OF Panay, with instructions to endeavor
to communicate with Governor General
August, failed in his mission. The mes
senger, the dispatch adds, found that
the telegraph lines in the island of Luzon
(of which Manila is the capitaD. had
been cut by the insurgents and that the
native militia were deserving by whole
sale. The Viscayas island, and the
island of M~indanao, however, were quiet.
Premier Sagasta, Upon leaving the cab
met council today said that two prov
inces of Luzon were still loyal to the
Spanish government, but that the situa-
ton in Manila was Of the most serious
character.

spondent Of The Star telegraphs from the
German capital today as follows: THE

German troops to be landed in the Phil
1ppine islands. The Germans, the Amer
leans add, have as little right to occupy
any pr L the 1nlllpplne SANDS as they
have to occupy New York. and Manila
and the Philippine islands, they point
out, are now and will remain United
States territory"
Madrid, June 16.-Advices received here
today by The Liberal, from Manila, un-
der date of June 9Th, practically repeat
the news contained in the dispatch of
June 18th from the Shanghai correspond

forwarded upon hat occasion Informal
ton which he had received from Manila
up to Tune 8th, saying that on June 5th
the insurgents forced the passage of the
Zapote river and captured Las Pinus and
Paranaki, since which time the fighting
the insurgents and the Spaniards
was continuous and the latter were being
gradually driven in.
The Spanish correspondent also says:
at is reported that the archbishop has
gone to the insurgents in the hope of
undertaking their animosity and prevent
ing acts of violence.
