SURRENDER OF THE ITATA.
The Case Similar to That OF the Mary

The Case Similar to That OF the Mary
Ann Hogan.
NEW YORK, June ga Tribune Wash
ngton special says: 1t was reported re-
Gently that some doubt was felt by the
officials here of the right of the Govern
ment to confiscate the arms and ammuni-
tion surrendered with the Chilean
cruiser Itata, although it is admitted that
there is no question whatever to libelling
The vessel for a violation of the port and
neutrality laws. The case of the tug
Mary Ann Hogan, however, seems to
disproVe this theory entirely, and shows
That the arms and ammunition trans
erred to the Itata from the Robert and
Minnie are as clearly subject to confiSca-
ion as the vessel itself.
The Hogan was purchased in New
York by persons interested in one OF the
Haytian instructions for use in trans
porting arms and munitions of war
rom this country to Haytian waters. A
cargo of arms was purchased in Philadel-
-lhia and shipped on a coasting schooner
ostensibly to Richmond, but the schooner
was met by tug off Newport News and
delivered the arms to the insurgents
The schooner lay for nearly three days at
4 rendezvous awaiting the arrival of the
Hogan, but the tug had been seized in the
New York harbor by the Federal au-
Jhorities, and the arms had finally to be
carried on to Richmond and discharged
The tug was Hbeled and condemned in a
Federal court in New York, and the arms
and ammunition were confiscated by the
United States Court in Richmond
In the opinions of both Judges it was
acid that the intent to make the transfer
at a rendezvous, although frustrated by
the seizure of the tug in New York, made
The whole enterprise an unlawful act, and
subjected the cargo to confiscation, Just
rs much as if il had actually been trans
erred to HaYti.
1t is generally expected here that the
Judgment against the Itata will be a
Bwecping and decisive one.
