MADRID, June lS.——The ' following
dispatch from Manila signed by Captain
General Augusti and dated June 13 is
published officially : - “The grave situ-
ation set ferth in my dispatch of June 8
cOntinues. The troops are fighting on
the line of blockhouses which stops the
enemy’s advance.

native tr00ps, which deminished our
means of resistance and may compel
The enemy has
me to take refuge within the walled
city. Communication with the prov-
inces is still cut off and I do not know
whether the detachments there will be
able to hold out against a lack of
resources. I hope to receive assistance
from the peninsular before our me ans
of defence are exhausted.”
Senor Sagasta replying in the cortes
today as to whether Manila had fallen
Japan, ac-
cording to a special dispatch from
replied in the negative.
Shanghai, is sending additional war-
ships to Manila, and it is reported - at
Shanghai that the American troops
have arrived at Manila. A special
dispatch from Hong Kong confirming
the dispatches of the Associated Press
from Manila says that Captain General
Augusti’s wife and family are held as
hostages at Cavite. From the same
source comes the report that Tondo,
capital of the province of Tondo, nearly
opposite Manila, has been the scene of
a great fire, presumably from the petro-
leum works there. It appears. that
when the German cruiser Kaiserin
Augusta entered Manila bay she took
the unusual course of saluting the
Spanish flag. This caused much com-
ment. Another rumor is that Captain
General Augusti has resigned because
of a disagreement with the archbishop
of Manila.
One of the high Spanish ministers in
an interview says: “If Manila is obliged
to capitulate, the seat of government
will be transferred to Visayes islands,
General Augusti capitulating as com-I
mander of Manila and not as governor
general of the Philippine islands.”
The minister also denied that the Span-
ish government had any intention of
securing territory togive in exchange
for the Philippines. .
