DISPOSITION OF THE ITATA.
VIII Ite brought Buck to Stand Trial
Probably ON Minor Charges


WARRINGTON, June E.Secretary Tracy
says the next step will be to send the Itata
back to the United States to stand trial.
There is no expectation that tho officers
and crew of the Itata will jeopardize their
liberty by returning with the vessel to San
Diego, and in fact. as II was reported from
Mexico that tho commander of the insur-
gent war ship Esmeralda acted AZ captain
OF tho ltata as far as Acapulco, there are
Mt least good reasons why he must not return
to the United States. In official circles it
Is believed that the Itata is not likely to
suffer any penalty as the result OF tho es-
capade. Credence In given to the statement
telegraphed from Chm that the vessel took
contraband arms and ammunition from tho
hoDeft ana Minnie outside United States
jurisdiction. II this is true tho off0nse
against neutrality laws is ninimized and it
~ very doubtful If a case would be made
out against her in The present state of un-
coz tam construction Of the law. There il
little doubt that she can be held on other
charges. such as contempt Of court in sail
ing away while under injunction, kidnap-
ping the marshal aud sailing without clear
ance papers, but these are minor offenses
whose punishment is likely to take the
shape OF fines and notice of forfeiture of
the vessel. A dispatch received at the navy
department from Admiral McCann at Iqui-
que was a correction OF the statement in
regard to the 1tata as to when arms were
transferred from the schooner Robert and
Minnie Thia transfer. the dispatch says,
took place off San Clsmente islands, a few
inlles from the coast. instead of off San
Diego ha'bor. The location of the transfer
may be OF importance in determining the
question OF jurisdiction Of the United States

PITTsnuRG, June 5.-This mornings ses-
sion of the Reformed Presbyterian synod
was devoted to the explanation OF George,
in defense of the action of the Pittsburg
presbytery in suspending seven voters for
heresy. He declared the action was brought
about by the untrammeled and individual
net of each man and that their action was
not dictated by any one lman. The sym
pathv of the on-lookers seemed to be with
the suspended ministers.
At the afternoon session, Prosecutor Nc
Allister proceeded with his assignment
He had no hesitancy in openly charging
that an organization was formed and would
to-day be within tho church menacing its
life, had not the alarm been sounded by
the elders. AS to the charge that the pres
bytery had prejudged the cases, he said it
was true the court was ready to cast its
vote without the presentation Of witnesses,
for the reason that the guilt of defendants
had been fully established.

Directors of Union Theological Seminary
VIII Retain DIR. Briggs.
New York, June 5.--The directors of
Union Theological seminary have met and
declared their position on the question of
the right of the general assembly of the
Presbyterian church to veto the transfer of
Prof. Chas. A. Briggs from the chair of
Hebrew to the chair of Biblical theology.
A resolution passed at the meeting this
afternoon says the directors, after having
taken legal advice and after duo considers
tion, see no reason to change their views on
the subject of the transfer of DR.. Briggs,
and feel bound, in the discharge of their
duties under the charter and constitution
OF the seminary, to adhere to the same.
The intent of the veto passed by tho gen
eral assembly ut its recent sessions in De-
troit was that DR.. Briggs should
cease to be professor in Union
seminary. The effect of the resolution
given above is that it is the Judgment of
the directors that the veto WAS a usu patton
of power never given or intended to be
given to the general assembly, and since the
veto was illegal the appointment stands and
DIR. Briggs will continue MS professor during
the coming year as during the past seven
teen years.

CHICAGO, June 5.-Schweinfurth, the
Rockford messiah, who has been worrying
the people of Kansas City so much of late,
left there last night for Chicago, and Incl
dentally MIR. A. Mccartney, of California,
who much resembled Schweinfurth; and
who was travelling east with his daughters
had very exciting experience. He had
been observed about the city yesterday and
quietly trailed by some people, who sup.
posed him to be Schweinfurth, and when
he started for the Kansas City depot last
night with his daughters, word quickly
spread about that the Rockford man was
leaving town with two Kansas CITY
young ladies for his Rockford "harem.''
A crowd of infuriated citizens hastened
to the depot and when the McCartnevs
arrived in a carriage rush was made
for them. Mr.. Mccartney was consider
ably surprised at the hostile demonstration
but promptly whipped out young cannon
and ordered the crowd to stand back. Then
he explained to them who he was whereup-
on ono of the leaders of the mob told him
they had oonfounded him with Schw ein-
furth and the crowd dispersed. All this
time, it is said, Schweinfurth was snugly
ensconced in berth in sleeping car, lis
tening to the tumult outside.

WASHINGTON, June 5.-The account which
came from San Francisco yesterday of
naval engagement in Valparaiso harbor is
received with incredulity at the navy de-
partment. such facts as are officially
known seem to discredit the story Of the
engagement reported to have taken place
April % in the presence of foreign men-of-
war. Admiral McCann was there on that
date on board the Baltimore, yet in his re-
port to the department on the next day he
failed TO mention any such event. In addi-
tion to this the department officers say
they have no doubt if an engagement with
such pronounced results had taken place
the news would have been promptly wired
to us instead of taking the slower course of
a mail steamer.
