No Doubt of 1t.

San Francisco, May 2S.-R. P.
Schwerin, superintendent of the Pa
cific Mail company, late tonight re-
ceived information that the Colima had
been wrecked. Fourteen of those on
board were saved. The Colima carried
about thirty-five passengers and about
the same number in the crew. 1t is
not yet known how the wreck oc-
Cured
The Colima was commanded by Cap
tain J. P. Taylor and was an iron YES
sci of 1906 tons. She was built in 1873
by Roach e Sons, of Philadelphia, and
was owned by the Pacific Mail COM
pany.
Storekeeper Richardson, of the Co.
lima, was the one who sent the first
news of the disaster. 1t was he who
sent the message to his father in this
city that he had been saved. The
wreck occurred between Manzanillo
and Acapulco. The Colima carried a
disc and in addition to the cabin pas
sengers, who numbered between thirty
five and forty, carried a number of
steerage passengers. There was pro-
badly on the vessel all told over 100
people.
Later Superintendent schwerin's in
formation is very meagre. The mes
sage sent by him stated that the ship
was wrecked May 81, and a ships boat
containing five of the crew and four
teen passengers arrived at SIanzanillQ
today, Tuesday. There was a total of
seventy passengers on the ship.
Assistant Superintendent Avery, of
the Pacific Mail. stated TO an Associ-
ated Press reporter late tonight that
the Colima carried 1872 people and only
10 were saved. There were 40 cabin
passengers. 81 steerage, 43 Chinese and
the crew numbered 72. Most of the
cabin passengers were bound through

THE GOLD STANDARD.
An Association to BE Formed in
England to Defend It-They See
the Handwriting on the Wall.

London. May 2S.-At meeting of
leading city bankers and merchants,
held at the banking house of Glynn,
Mills, Currie & Co., it was decided to
form a gold standard defense assocfa-
ton and Mr.. Bertram- Currie, the
chairman of the meeting, was elected
president of the new association
The following address was then for
warded to the chancellor of the ex-
chequer, Sir William Vernon Hair
court:
1--WE merchants and bankers of this
city desire to address you with refer
ence to the discussion which has taken
place in parliament on the question of
currency, but we are constrained to
state that we view with grave appre-
henSion the change in the system of
the currency which has prevailed
without interruption in this country
since 1916. We believe any serious at
tempt to modify it by the adoption of
silver as a standard of value, either
alone or currently with gold, will be
followed by consequences dangerous
to the trade and commerce of the
country; and, further, if it were posi-
Bile that such a measure should not
only become a law but be made eff
fctive in practice or should become a
law without growing effective, it
would disturb contracts, injure credit,
check enterprise and thus prove disas-
trous to both capitalists and wage
earners."
The signatures to the above address
includes the names of Brown, Shipley
& Co., F'ruhling & Goschen, Norton
Rose & Co., Rallie Bros, Charles
Raphael & Co., Barclay, Bevan & Trit-
ton, Benson, Bouviere & Co., Currie &
Co., Robarts, Lubbock & Co., Schroed-
er & Currie, and the directors of the
National and Provisional Bank of Eng
land, the London and Country bank
the London and Westminster Bank of
England, the Union Bank Of London,
Lloyd bank, PARIS Banking Co.. and
the Alliance bank, Martins bank, the
Union Discount company, and the
Bank of New South Waels.
The chancellor of the exchequer sent
the following reply to the address: ''I
concur entirely in the opinion that the
experience of well-nigh a century has
proved that the present system of cur
rency is suited to the wants of this
great commercial country and that to
depart therefrom would be disastrous
to the trade and credit of the United
Kingdom. You may rely upon it that
her majesty's government will not
give countenance to any change in the
fundamental principles of our none
tary system, nor in any discussion in
which they may be called to take part,
will they admit any doubt of their
intention to firmly adhere to the single
gold standard

Blythe Hinckley, who inherited the 81
100000 estate of the late Thomas H.

tract was subsequently ratified by Flor

New York, May "A special to the

a Central American union with Guate-

precipitate a revolution against Presi-

have been in that vicinity.
The Pacific mail officials here have
received no information of disaster to
the Cofima, but can give no reason
why such a message as the one re-
ceived should have been sent unless
something had happened to the
steamer. The steamship agents say
they do not know how many people
the Colima carried, and they will give
out no information as to her passenger
list until it is definitely known that
there is cause for worry about their

THE MONROE DOCTRINE.
Hard Work to Get the idea Through
South American Skull.

New York, May ga special to the
World from Panama quotes the Peruvian
Mail as saying: NO South American re-
public seems to understand the Monroe
doctrine. The doctrine is not intended to
call down the armed interference of the
United States and so prevent European
powers from getting redress for wrong.
The United States government knows
when to apply the doctrine
The Mail then refers to the United
States refusing to interfere in the Mica
ragua difficulty and the quick action to
relieve Mexico in 1866, compelling the
French to retire.
