Manila, Aug. 21.
The str. Changsha from Australia to Manila is stranded on Tigi Bank near Tawitawi Island, according to a radio message received last night. The ship's condition is not known, but it is believed that it is not serious. She was carrying a number of passengers and a crew of 76.. A salvage-boat has been despatched to her assistance.—Reuter.
Sydney, Aug. 21.
The Changsha is ashore on a reef 150 miles from Sandakan. There is no danger, but there is eight feet of water in the forepeak and 11 feet in the No. 1 hold. The other holds are dry. The steamer is awaiting refloating by her salvage steamer. All are well on board.—Reuter.
Sydney, Aug' 21.
The steamer Victoria is taking the Changsha's passengers to their -destinations. The Changsha will probably be abandoned if refloating is very difficult or. costly.—Reuter.
