The action of the Iowa republicans in

The action of the Iowa republicans in
declaring fairly for the existing gold
standard, is an indication OF the advanc-
ed position that may be taken by the re-
publican party in 1900. 1t can safely be
depended upon that the party will be
squarely in favor of sound and stable
standard of monetary value.

and in every instance the alleged unsea-
Worthiness, under-manned and under-pro-
visioned condition of the vessel was ridi-
culed.
1t was stated that the Manauense was in

thoroughly overhauled and her fittings
We're IN the best of condition.
Sne was thoroughly provisioned in the

supplies for the soldiers, and the officials
are at a loss to explain the shortness or

she peen, clearance papers from this port

Regarding the alleged unsea aworthiness
OF the vessel 1t can be stated that she
was thoroughly inspected by the treasury
department and was passed as In first

Lloyd's local inspector, Capt. Metcalf
also inspected the vessel and passed her.
The local inspectors of huns and boilers
say they made a thorough examination
ana found her engines in excellent condi-
ton, and, in fact, that the Manauenso was
generally credited with being one of the
best fitted vessels in the transport service.
The officials say further that the only
source of foundation for the report that
she was under-provisioned may have been
with regard to her supply of fresh meats.

dent might have happened to her ma
chinery necessitating its shutting down
for several days so that repairs could be
effected.
This Is the only explanation given re-
garding the reported rotten condition of
her machinery, and they assert that the
fact that the Manauense lived through
the typhoon is enough to contradict the
story of her unseaworthiness.

Havana, Nov, 2S.-Although there ha.
