LOYALISTS' Shanghai Japanese Ask DYSENTERY
FRONT LINES BEATEN BACK General Varela's Army Crosses Manzanares
UNIVERSITY CITY NOW IN
HANDS OF INSURGENTS
Salamanca, Nov. 16.
Three columns of the left flank of General Varela's army have crossed the Manzanares River. They drove across the river at 4. p.m. yesterday and occupied the Government's former positions, according to an official com- munique from insurgent headquarters.
These three columns continued their ad- vance in the north-west sector of Madrid, which, it was hoped, would be entirely occupied by the end of the night, as "the enemy's resistance has been overcome." "}
The river was crossed only after the insurgents had met and broken the most deter- mined resistance hitherto encountered from the men of Madrid. It was the resistance of despair, the communique states.-Reuter.
CONTINUING ADVANCE

Concession
Shanghai, Nov. 16.
A definite move for the creation of a virtual Japanese concession in Shanghai has been launched by the influential Japanese Residents Association, whose foreign affairs committee has authorised its representatives to take up the matter with the Japanese Consul-General.
The committee proposes the creation of “a special administrators' area," com- prising the so-called "extension" or "ex tra-settlement roads" along the northern boundary of the International Settlement,
Under this proposal a large section of Hongkew and Chapei would pass under Japanese control.
For the past six years the Chinese authorities have been pressing for the con- trol of these "extension" roads, which are at present administered internationally
through the Shanghai Municipal Council.-center.

APPARENTLY ON THE WANE But Epidemic has Made Appearance in Canton
The epidemic of dysentery which struck terror into the hearts of Hongkong mothers, is, the local Health authorities believe, commencing to wane. No deaths have been reported in Hongkong since Saturday.
But, according to reports received by the Telegraph this morning, the scourge has now spread to Canton, where at least one European child is stated to be ill.
Prayers were offered yesterday in St. John's Cathedral and other churches for the safety of Hongkong young ones.
Shortly before, a tragic ceremony was being enacted at sea a few miles from the Colony. Carrying two small, white coffins, the naval tugboat St. Monance steamed slowly out of the harbour and when almost out of sight of land stopped its engines, while a funeral service was read by the Rev. Mr. Evans and Rev. Mr.
Parker.
