OFFICIALS ASTONISHED.
SAN FRANCISCO. November 2s.-The
transport officials at this port are at
loss 10 explain the alleged unseaworthi-
ness OF the transport Manauense, whose
arrival al Manila was reported to-day. \
representative of the Associated Press
interviewed a number of the officials to-
day. and in every instance the alleged
unseaworthiness and undermined and
underprOvisioned condition of the vessel
were ridiculed.
1t was stated that the Manauense was
i'm first-class condition when she LETT tins
port on October 18th. Her engines had
been thoroughly ovcrhaulod. and her iit-
tlngs were In the best Of conditions. she
was thoroughly provisioned In the cabin,
enough provisions being taken for six
months trip. Her hold was full OF sup
plies for the soldiers. and the officials are
at loss TO explain the shortage OF the
food supplies. That she was underman-
ned Is absolutely denied. because had she
been. clearance papers from this port
would not have been issued.
SHIP DULY INSPECTED.
As general rule. transports leaving
this port are il anything. oversUpplied
with working crews. Regarding the al
legged unseaworthiness Of the vessel. IT
can be stated that she was thoroughly
inspected by the Treasury Department.
and was passed as in hrst-class trim.
I.loyds local inspector. Captain Met
calf. also inspected the vessel and pas ed
her. The local Inspectors OF hulls and
boilers say they made thorough exami-
nation and found her engines in excellent
condition, and. in fact. that the Manau-
ense was generally credited with being
one of the best-itted vessels In the trans
port service The officials say, further
that the only source of foundation Tor
tho report that she was underproVlsioned
may have been with regard to her supply
Of fresh meats. of which she took good
supply from here, but which may nave
been spoiled from some accident 10 the
refrigerating plant, which gave t,ouble

THE STORM BLAMED.
II the typhoou through which the
Manauense passed was severe one, theS
say. IL is not at all unlikely tnat some
accident might have happened 10 her ma
chinerv. necesstating It's shutting dowr
for some days. This Is the only eXplana
! ton given regarding the reported rotter
condition Of her machinery. and they as
sert that the fact that the Manauens'
lived through the typhoon Is enough tC
contradict the story OF her unseaworthi
ness.
