VIOLATION Of the neutrality laws
The account which came from San
Francisco OF the naval enga-en emit n
Valparaiso harbor, stating that the in
surgent cruiser Magallanes sailed I'M
der the guns Of the government forts
and almost annihiiated the govern
ment boats. Is received with incredulity
at the navy department. The officers
say they have no doubt II an engage

been promptly telegraphed To the
United States instead of taking the
slower course OF the mail steamers
Secretary Tracy SAYS the next step
will be 20 send the ship back 20 the
United States 20 stand trial There is
no expectation that the officers and
-~tfew ofths Itata viii jeopardize their
liberty by returning with the vessel TO
San Diego. AS il was reported
from Mexico that the commander
Of the insurgent warship Esmer-
aida acted as captain OF the
Itata as far as Acapulco there are at
least good reasons why he must not re-
turn 20 the United states. 1t may be
necessary for McCann to detail some of
his men TO act as the crew. In Official
circles IL is believed that the Itata is
not likely 20 suffer heavily as the
result OF her escapads. Credence

graphed from Chilli that the vessel
took the contraband arms and ammuni-

doubt that she can be held on
other charges. such as contempt OF
