TRACY'S CONFIDENCE
The Naval Secretary Speaks Of
the Itata Affair.
NO FEARS OF AN ENGAGEMENT.

In the Event of Our Cruisers Being
Attacked by the Insurgents ves-
sells, Says Mr.. Tracy, They Are
Fully Able to Hold Their Own
with the Rebel Graft.
BNaHAMToN, N. Y, May 13.-Secre-
tary Tracy, who is in this city on pri-
vate business, was interviewed last night
regarding the reports of the orders given
to the commander of the cruiser Charles
ton in the matter of the capture of the
Itata, and the ability of the cruiser to
cope with the Esmeralda in event of the
latter's interfering, to protect the runa-
way vessel.
He secuted the idea that the Charles
ton was inferior to the Chilean vessel,
and said she was fully able to cope with
the Esmeralda, as were two other
cruisers of the United States navy now
in the Pacific. These latter were the
San Francisco and the Baltimore, and
they were more than able to hold their
own with the insurgent craft, though it
was not likely that they would fall in
with her.
He stated that the Charleston has or
uers 10 capture the ltata wherever 5he
may be found on the high seas. This in
cludes all waters outside the three mile
limits of ports of foreign countries. He
did not anticipate resistance, but said
the United States cruiser would carry
out her orders at all hazards.
He could not make public the exact
text of the cipher dispatch sent to the
Charleston's commanders, nor would he
say definitely that the San Francisco
had been ordered north to intercept the
Itata. The United States had main
tanned strictly neutral position in re-
fusing to supply arms to the insurgents.

A special meeting of the stockholders OF
the Preside and Ferries Railroad Company
was held yesterday afternoon TO consider
the creation Of bonded indebtedness OF
S250,OOO for the extension and perfection Of
the system.
Ii was proposed to extend the cable-road
along Union street from Steiner to Baker
and Greenwich streets, and thence along
the latter thcroughfare directly through the
Government reservation to the Preside sta
ton. The projected improvements also in-
cuded the extension of the cable line down
Washington street to the ferries, and the
diScOntinuance of the present horSe-car line
from Montgomery street to the city front.
Over 80 per cent of the company's stock
was represented at the meeting, which by
large majority voted in favor of the bonded
Indebtedness. The opposition was repre-
sented by only $50 shares. while 5000 shares
were voted in favor of the bonds. This was
the only question considered at the meeting,
the contemplated improvements being left
entirely in the hands of the Board Of Di-
rectOrs. AS soon as the bonds are negotiated
the board will determine the matter of eX-
tension. The vote of the shareholders, how
ever, was virtually an approval of the pro-
pOsals made, although they have not been
formally authorized by the Directors.
