BRUTUS PILIKIA.
Collier and Monterey Anchored
on Fort.

N1u HbFt.
The y. S. Monitor started out for
Manila at lis p. M. yesterday but the
Brutus, her collier, did not get away
until 3:15. Something went wrong
with the machinery of the collier so
that she was unable to get out until
that time. 1t was thought that all
was well.
The Monterey remained off the
harbOr until the Brutus got out and
then the two, the Monterey leading,
started off at good speed. 1t was soon
evident that something was wrong for
the Brutus began to blow off steam
and then, later, turned about and
made for the entrance of the channel.
The Monterey followed suit and at 5
o'clock the two had come to an an
Choir just to the left of the entrance
to the channel.
No one could find out the exact
trouble. Inquiry aboard the L. S S.
Mohican brought forth the reply
Something wrong with the Brutus
machinery" From the looks of things
there is something radically wrong
with her boilers.
The fact that the vessels did not put
back into port would go to show that
it is expected the mechanics aboard
will be able to repair the injury.
However, in case they cannot do this
the two vessels will put into port to-
day

siguientes aclaraoiones:
"Respecto & la reunion de Cortes,
es cierto que al tratarse el asunto hubo
aleunas discrepancies senoillas entire los
individuos del Gobierno respeoto la
feoha on que habfan de reuniree las Ca
maras; pero hoy estamos todos do acuer'
do. Las Cortes SO reuniran en- Ia pri-
mera quincena de Septiembre, es decir,
del al 10, y puedo airmar que su labor

que ha de ser acoidentAda. En- Ootubre
