IeCelNeu Dy the agents mere TINS
morning, but the following cable con
corning the big steamers delay in
sailing was received:
"Manchuria sailing postponed until
Thursday on account of slight fire in
the hold"
This means that the Manchuria will
arrive in this port Wednesday, March
q, and sail the next day, instead of
Monday, March %. According to the
Associated Press dispatch 600 tons of
cotton which had been loaded into
the after hold of the Manchuria in
San Francisco and which were CON
signed to Japanese cotton mills,
caught fire by spontaneous combus-
ton and burned for some hours. For
tunately the damage was slight TO
the ship and the delay is probably
caused by the necessity of getting
the injured cargo out and reloading,
rather than by any damage to the
vessel itself.
