There was no fault to be found with the
weather yesterday. 1t was the first pleas
ant day all over that has yet been granted
us during the ball season. With the game 1t
was different. Even here, from the Portland
point Of view there was not much Of bal
ance on the wrong side. Brown who has
partially recovered from his illness, was
more or less rank on strikes and fouls, but
his bad judgment affected one club as much
as 1t did the other. Newell, on third base.
was particularly bad when hard hit balls
came his way, although he managed to catch
several and throwing to second, put out men
who were there. while he allowed the man
who made the hit to take his base. The bat
terry work was good as rule. although Sui
llvap, who pitched for Lynn had habit Of
facing second base instead Of the batsman
when he was about to deliver the ball. that
was not pleasant to our boys. Keay and
Willis made first class outfeld, catching
everything that was meant for them. and
few others besides. DAILY had only one
good chance to distinguish himself In left
field. This was the last whack Of the game,
beautiful fly by Dillon, which went down
into Daly's fingers and stayed there. The
Ouly run on TIC Lyuu oiuo was sCOItu Dy
OConnor. although the bases were full on
two other occasions with men aching for
chance to score, yet who were frozen out by
Collins and Shine and their unlucky bats
men.
Slater made the first run for Portland on
two bagger by Shine. having been given his
first on an error. Portland went hunting
grass and goose eggs after the second inning
until the very last, when Barney McLaugh-
lin came to the bat and made a hit. He
sneaked to second and then, when Slater
hunted the ball down ON the diamond. so
near that robody looked there for II, Barney
came tearing home with his peculiar wind
mill motion and wild cheers of the crowd.
Collins then made his first hit and Slater
scored. Then Newell went to the bat for
the fifth time and made little bit Of q hit
that let Collins in. Shine had been put out
while trying to steal home from third and
O'Brien and Keay went out on pop flies.

Washington Has No News Of The
Pursuer or Pursued.

CITY OF MEXICO, May 13.-The Anglo
American (newspaper) publishes rumors of
the sinking Of the Itata by the United States
cruiser Charleston. 1t gives neither time nor
place. The authorities here say they have
no information whatever concerning the
matter.
The government has given strict orders to
the port authorities ON the Pacific coast to
report the appearance of any Chilian or
other warships. 1t will be difficult to get
news as the government wires will have to
be depended on altogether. The general
opinion here is that the Itata and her con-
voy will double upon the Charleston. The
government has ordered the gunboat Demo-
crata to keep sharp look out for the yes
sells. 1t is rumored here that a private tele
gram has been received announcing that
fishing schooner yesterday saw two vessels
out at sea off the coast at full speed. One
vessel was sighted at 10 a. m. aud the other
at 2 p. m. They were so distant that the
fishermen could not distinguish them. This
report cannot be traced to any reliable
source.

the iTATA NOT A PIRATE
But She May Be Seized for Violating

out orc way DO o6tZeQ TOR violating
the Law.
WASHINGTON, May 13.-When the doors
of the Navy Department closed this after
noon, Acting Secretary Ramsey was no
wiser than he was yesterday respecting the
whereabouts of the Charleston and Itata.
In the absence of facts. the departmental
officers are discussing the legal aspects Of
the case presented by the flight of the Itata.
There has been some modification of the
matter. 1t does not appear any longer a
tenable claim that the Itata may be seized
as pirate, but 1t is recognized that she can
be recaptured for violation of the customs
laws, the disregard of the court, and per-
haps, the kidnapping of the deputy marshal.
pletely negatived by the doctrine laid down
by the late Francis Wharton, formerly soli-
citor OF the Department of State, an eminent
authority on international law. This doc
trine was accepted by Secretary Bapard
laid down at the time of the Colomb
bellion and Panama troubles. The G 81
bian government declared the insurgen :
sells pirates as the Chilian government has
done. but the Secretary held that
The government of the United States cannot re.

In possession of the national government. In the
late civil war; the United States at an early period
OF the struggle surrendered the position that those
manning Confederate cruisers were pirates under
International law. The United states of Coom-
bla cannot, sooner or later, do otherwise than to
accept the same View But however this may be,
no neutral power can acquiesce In the position
now taken by the Colombian government.
Another fact that may be of interest In
view uf the expected arrival of the ltata at
Mexican port is that she cannot stay there
under the practices Of international law.
The Mexican government could not refuse
to protect her. but she could not remain in
port more than "a hours, as to do SO would
subject her to the charge of using the port
government. Ii the vessel reaches Acapul-
co before the Charleston, the latter vessel
would have simply to wait outside the port
for "a hours to get an opportunity to take
the Itata and her stores, providing that these
