The Itata Affair.

As stated in yesterdays GAZETTE The
Chiiiau icsurgeDt steamer Itsta arrived at
I1nique, Chill, and was Immediately surren-
dered to the American war ships at that
port. Just after the surrender of the Issta
the cruiser Charleston arrived ut Iq1ique.
Secretary Tracy gave to an Associated
Press reporter last night the chain of oircum-
stspces that has led up to the peaceful eur
render to the United Ssetes of the I'ats
The Secretary said that the DEERE for
a surrender came from the leaders OF the In
surgent pasty at Iquiqus. Shortly after the
vessel had illegally escaped from the
custody of the marshal at San Diego, the
governments was informed by these leaders
that they disapprcyed the action of the eff
ccre Of the vessel tbs moment she escaped,
and made offers through Admiral WoCsDn
10 peaceably surrender hsr to the United
States az coon es she Arrived In Chilllan
waters. These offers we're then commune
Gated TO the department Mt Washington,
and In due time were accepted by tbie gov
eminent without, however, Implying any
recogni,iop on be part OF the UDited States
of the ipsurgant as helligerents. The propo-
sition for q peaceful surrender wss pending
at the time the Charle sion, which WAS 10
pursuit of the Itats. WAS at Acapulco re-
pIenishing her DIMINISHED coal supply.
As soon SIS the offer wss formally accepted tele'
gram authorizing him to cease the chase WAS Scnt
to Captain Remey, of the Charleston, but the
stesmer had already sal ed when the telegram
reached Acspulco, and the captain, unaware Of
the turn affairs had taken, proceeded on his search
for the capped vessel. The fact OF the acceptance
of the offers to surrender the Itata on her arrival
in Chilisn waters WAS, therefore, communicated
70 Admiral McCann, who, was, therefore, pre-
pared to receive the Itata on her arrival. Secre-
tsry Tracy said that tho Itsta would be sent up
the coast to San Diego to answer the charges
against her in court.
