The Itata Wants to Get Away From San
Diego.
SAN DIEGO, July 1.-THE Itata officers
have not yet paid the $500 penalty for sail
ing from this port without clea rance papers.
She is still closed to visitors. Comandante
Tejeda made another hasty trip from Los
Angeles yesterday and was again closeted
with MannZen. While there Marshal Gard
served moniticn p apers upon him. Tejeda
is very anxious to fix matters so he can get
the Itata released to 90 on the dry-dock at
San Francisco and then take cargo of pro-
visions to Iquique. The time set tor hear
ing the cha rges by Judge Ross is September
14th Mr.. Tejeda's mission to Los Angeles
is believed to be to try and arrange bonds for
liberation OF the vessel pending the action
Of the court. 1t is just learned that when
the 1tata came here first Mannzen applied
to the customs authorities for clearance
papers, but upon instructions from Wash
ington these were refused. Now the inter-
esting question arises-suppose the courts
decide that the Itata's mission was lawful,
what position does it put the Government
in? Tejeda is very anxious to secure the
respect Of the people and Government of
the United States, hence his readiness to re-
turn to have matters settled. He firmly be-
lieves the insurgents cause is a right one
and believes it will ultimately prevail.
READY TO PAY EXPENSES.
An Associated Press correspondent to-
day had an interview with an American
seaman who has been on the ltata for some
years. Since coming here he has shipped

and if the bonds required for the Itata be
very large there will be no difficulty In
securing them. The Itata had some pas
sengers up. One was DR.. Guzmanth and
another known as Mr.. Walker. They are
very wealthy-one worth S10,0O0,O 1000, the
other S6.0O0,000. They are prepared to see
all expenses paid and to put up any bonds
necessary. Since Balmaceda ran out of
ready money he has been issuing paper and
forcing the people TO accept it, but 1t is
only good in Chile. Other countries refuse
to take 1t. l am told that Balmaceda is
holding back gold and silver to take to
Europe with him II forced to flee from
Chile. He gets some specie from Valpar-
also, the only port he controls. The in
surgents do not need money, but there Is a
great scarcity of arms, ammunition and
food. Had the Itata succeeded in landing
her cargo the effect would have been imme-
diately apparent. The Itata was not armed
when she made her first trip to San Diego.
SHE CARRIED SOLDIERS.
"She had two cannon. one of them salute
gun which carried no bali. The other was
larger and was unloaded at IquIque and
delivered to Admiral Mccain. l never saw
the big gun loaded in ordinary service. The
ltata carried twenty-four soldiers. but on
leaving Chile all who could be spared were
left behind ard only one regular soldier was
brought along. These were used as regular

NEW YORK, July IA correspondent at
lquique. Chile, under date of June 18th,
writes that the situation of the Congress
sional party in Chile is grossly misrepre-
sented to the people of the United States,
and adds: ITO person visiting this port,
fully posted. as he imagined. on affairs
through the medium of dispatches and let
tiers published, nothing could be more strik-
ing than the scenes at Port Iquique June
10th. Although expecting to find a town in
ruins. in a state of anarchy, and business
disruption, found there scarcely any signs
of demolition. The town is in excellent
order. The municipal officers have restored
all damages to property. and nearly all the
building sites of the few burned blocks are
now occupied, either by houses in course Of
re-ereetion or already completed.
Public sentiment deprecates in a marked
measure the action of the United States
Government in the 1tata matter. The de-
tanning OF that vessels arms and ammuni-
tion at this critical period Is deeply de-
plored by the leaders of the party. 1t was
expected that with these munitions of war
the daily increasing force of volunteer SOL
diers would have been armed and meve-
ment made TO the south. The determination
of the Congressional Cabinet to deliver the
ltata and in no wise offend tue United
States has, in a manner, retarded the move
ments of the bellgerent force
''The ultimate relrase of the Itata by the
United States Government is earnestly
hoped for, and in that hope there is no
doubt The beligerents have the sympathy
of all foreigners throughout Chile.
"The revenues of the port of Iquique,
amounting to 81. 1000, 600 monthly, are in the
hands Of the Congressional party. This
sum is far in excess of any revenues that
Balmaceda receives, and while the receipts
continue there is no doubt the Congress
sionai party will be able to procure the
sinews of war and maintain their situation"

A Philadelphia Papers CauaiG Address to
John G. Nicolay.

PHILADELPHIA, July 1.-THE Times
this morning publishes an editorial address
to John G. Nicolay under the caption
spanked and Dismissed" 1t says, in part:
Had you known anything about the in
side political movements in the White
House in 1861 you would have known my
letter to Lincoln, quoted in your defense,
was written because of a suddenly de-
veloped effort in this State to divide the
lines drawn by the then bitter Cameron and
Curtin factional war for and against Lin
coin. The Cameron followers claimed to
be the special supporters of Lincoln and at
tempted to drive Curtin and the State ad-
ministration into hostility TO the President.
My justly assumed devotion to Curtin was
a pretext for declaring me as either re-
strained in my support OF Lincoln or likely
to be in opposition. The moment saw the
statement in print l wrots the letter you
quote to dismiss from LIncOin's mind all ap-
prehensions about-either open or passive
opposition from Curtin's friends. Equally,
Indeed even more fiagrantly false, is your
statement OF only the minor truth about the
action of the Pennsylvania delegation at
Baltimore in 1864. YOU say Cameron cast
the solid vote of the State for Hamln. Had
you desired to be truthful you would have
added that Cameron east the solid vote of
the delegation for johnson before the close
as an honest bI0grapher, you could have OBJ
tanned 1t without offensive disputation, not
only from Ine, as far as 1 knew it, but from
such living witnesses as Charles A. Dana
and Murat Halstead, and from the recorded
testimony Of General Cameron, Colonel
Forney aud Others, who knew much of Lin
coin and out little of you. Instead of seek
ing truth, you flung your ignorance and
egntiSm with OstentatiouS lndecency upon
the bereaved household of the yet untombed
Hamlin, and when brought to bay by those
better informed than yourself you resent it
in the tone and term OF a ward heeler in the
wharf-rat district batting + or conSHbulary
hon0rs. Dismissed"

Of vtureratioD, reiterates his previous as
serfloDs as to McClure's misstatements and
goes ever the ground to prove his position.
He quotes dispatch from B. c. Cook, who
was Chairman of the Illinois delegation al
the baltimore Convention, and who says
that Nicolay's statement that Lincoln was
In favor of Hamlin is correct. Cook further
says he went to see Lincoln personally after
the receipt of the note which Nicolay has
quoted in previous statements. After the
interview with him Cook was positive that
Hannibal Hamlin was Lincoln's favorite
and Says that fact Is further proved by the
action of the entire Illinois delegation,
which was unit for Hamlin. Nicolay
goes on to say that If Mcclure received Lin
coins instructions to vote for johnson, he
betrayed them when he went back to Balti-
more and, as member of the PENNSYLVANIA
delegation, cast vote for Hannibal Hamlin
