been received from thar port as 10 he- hay
ing touched there The average trip from
Manila to- San Francisco requires about
thirty days and the Nauucuse is almost a
month overdue. She carried no military
passengers nor supplies, having only Ear
crew. and is coming back TO this country
to be returned 10 her owners.
The Mauuense is the vessel which car
ried Lieut. Col Webb Hayes battalion Of
The Thirty-frst Volunteers and which broke
down and came near going TO the bottom.
The bravery Of the soldiers in pumping out
the vessel and keeping her engines going
when the crew deserted the engine rooms
alone saved the ship. In spite Of the break
ing down OF the engines and the heavy
weather encountered the Manuenss made
the trip from san Francisco 10 Manila in
thirty-one days.
The only causes assigned by officials for
her present delay is that she has either
broken down again or Is lOafng. with the
idea Of increasing the amount TO be paid
her by the Government. The owners Of
the Nauuense received $500 a day every
day she is in the service OF the Govern
ment and the thirty extra days required
in making the trip will cost the Gov m
ment lJ,C0O.
