Morse, the head of local detective
agency, has returned from Los Angeles.
whittier he went to make report to the
United States grand jury investigating
the Itata case. The grand jury has Sc
cured the testimony of the two deserters
from the Itata, who left the vessel at
San Diego. Mr.. Morse states that this
testimony is to the effect that when the
Itata started north, prior to her putting
into San Diego, she had aboard some
sixty new rifles and two hundred old
ones. When the Esmeralda and Itata
left San Lucas, the former had three
hundred and fifty men all told, and
sixty cannon of different calibers. The
Itata had ninety sailors and sixty sol
.diers, the latter being in citizens cloth
ing. The Itata carried four sixty pound
guns hidden under canvas, with her
small arms, in the forward hold. The
soldiers were slowed away there also.
Every appearance of the vessel being
prepared for war was removed two days
before she steamed into San Diego,
when she looked like clean-trimmed
merchantman. 1t was understood by
everybody aboard that the Itata was
on the lookout for schooner

voke q Conflict.

Cry OF MExIco (via Galyeston), May
18.-The war department has received a
dispatch from Acapulco, which says
there is no probability of fight between
the Charleston and Esmeralda. The
Itata has not yet been sighted, and un-
less she has been captured by some other
United States cruiser, is probably off
Central America by this time with fuel
furnished by the Esmeralda.
General Pedro Hinojosa, secretary of
war, said this morning, that Mex
leo only insists that her neutral
ity be respected, and she will not in
terfere with the Esmeralda beyond
refusing to sell her coal or arms.
An officer of the Esmeralda told your
correspondent at Acapulco yesterday
that his vessel would try to get coal
here, but if it was refused she could get
it elsewhere within few hours. He
said: I'VE are not afraid of a conflict
with the Charleston, but our orders are
to be prudent and not provoke con-
flict.''
He stated that his captain received a
long cipher dispatch from his govern
ment in Chile Saturday, but its contents
were unknown to him. 81

The Blanco Encalada's Last Act of On
cfal Courtesy.
SAN FRANCISCO, May 1S.--A copy of
the Chilean Times, which reached here
by the steamer San Bias. announces that
by special agreement with Germany,
Great Britain is taking German inter
ests in Chile under her protection until
the arrival of three German warships,
which are en- route.
The Times says the Warspite forced
an apology out of the insurgent man-of-
war Blanco Encalada just before the
latter was sunk by torpedo boats. The
Blanco was engaged in the blockading
of Iquique, when she, with other vessels
of the blockading feet, ran out of coal.
An English and German merchant
man were lying side by side, both
coal-laden. The rebel feet took hold OF
them on the pretense that they were in
range, in the event of firing, and towed
them out to sea in spite of the protests
of their captains. Out of range of the
forts guns the insurgents made forced
purchase of such coal as they needed.
They voluntarily paid an extravagant
price for it.; but, nevertheless, the cap
tains of the vessels reported the matter
to the British admiral. who gave the
Blanco the option of apologizing or fight
ing inside of "a hours. 1t was then 40
q. m. Precisely at noon the Bianco ran
up the British and German flags above
the rebel standard and fired a royal sa-
Lutte. The coal would have been re-
placed and the ships towed back to their
former anchorage, but for the fact that
most of the coal had been burned and
the two merchant vessels had no further
business at Iquique.

SAN Francisco, May 18.-The attor.
ney for the gypsy Blythes today fled q
motion for the re-trial of the celebrated
Blythe case, which resulted some months
ago in the millions of the late Thomas
Blythe being awarded to his
daughter, Florence, by Judge Coffey,
The gypsy Blythes claim that the Will
Jams claimants forged "a number of let
ters purporting to have been
written by Blythe to DIR. Elliott.
These letters were read at the
trial as being in the handwriting OF
Blythe, as the standard to prove by COM
parison that certain other documents in
favor of the Williams' claims were in
Blythe's handwriting. The claim is
made that as these letters. twenty-six in
number, came into the possession
of the Williams claimants, the original
envelopes were saved, and they de-
stroyed the original letters and used in
their stead forged letters. A writing
expert has declared these letters forger-
les. and also that the entry of Blythe's
birth in the family Bible is forgery.

and the Itata had /, 300. The programme
was for the Itata to get the munitions OF
war from the schooner Robert and Mn
ME and at some place in the tropics
transfer them to the Esmeralda, which
would escort her to Iquique. If the trip
was made without any interference, so
much the better, but if not the Esmer-
aida proposed to do battle. The Es-
meralda and Itata were commanded
from Iquique to San Lucas by each
others masters, who exchanged to their
rightful commands at the latter point.
Some information obtained led to the
belief that on May 18th transfer of
arms was made from the Itata to the
Esmeralda, at Pichilinque, ON the east
coast Of Southern California.
Solicitor-General Taft, who is in Los
Angeles, conducting the investigation
on behalf of this government, has is
sued subponas for the superintendents
of the Western Union and Postal tele-

The latter directed them to San Diego.
They said nothing about taking coal
from the Newbern, and after stating
that the Itata had gone to Vancouver,
took their leave.
In an interview this morning, Per-
uvian Consul Holloway stated that he
understood that when the Chilean
steamer Itata left San Diego, she had
sufficient coal aboard to take her to
1quique.

CrrY OF MEXICO, May 1S.-The Charles
ton has left Acapulco for the south. 1t
is believed that the Mexican government
will allow the Esmeraldaa small amount
OF coal. The government newspapers
maintain strict reticence.
WASHINGTON, May 1S.-This afternoon
the navy department received confrma-
tion of the press dispatches to the effect
that the Charleston sailed southwark
from Acapulco last evening, leaving the
Esmeralda in port. There was no word
Of the Itata. The presumption is that
the Charleston's commander was satis-
fed that the Itata passed Acapulco either
before he arrived there, or while he lay
in port, and has resumed the long chase.
It is estimated that the Itata is steam
ing along at about seven knots, and as
she was ten days out, last Friday night,
she should at that time have been just
off Acapulco, where it is reported she
met the Esmeralda. As she is much
smaller vessel than the Esmeralda, and
burns much less coal, it Is regarded as
within probabilities that the latter We g.
eel might have supplied her with this
necessary article, which would account
for the strait the war ship is now in
respecting a further supply Of coal.
Ii it be true that the Itata was off
Acapulco Friday night, she had two full
days start of the Charleston when the
latter started again in pursuit last night.
This is about the same lead she had
from San Diego, 80 it does not appear
that the chase is any nearer conclusion;
but if the two vessels now follow the
same course, the Charleston steaming at
fourteen knots, should come up with
the Itata before tomorrow night.
This event, Of course, is based
upon the supposition, which is not
founded on strong probability, that the
two vessels are steering exactly the
same. course. If the Charleston passes
the Itata, the next port they are likely
to be heard from is Panama, about
1900 miles from Acapulco, or Payta,
Peru, still further down the coast. As
1t is, the two vessels have probably COW
cred less than half the distance to
Iquique, the nearest Chilean, ports ses9e
A prominent bureau chief OF the navy
department said tonight that he be-
lieved the commander of the Charleston
will not hesitate to take the Itata even
though he should have to lay hands
upon her in Chilean waters. The law
OF nations would prevent him from tax
ing her in neutral port. Should the
Charleston catch up with the runaway
vessel within marine league of the
Chilean coast the officer said he thought
the Charleston's commander would
seize the Itata and let the courts decide
the question as to his right to do so.

An Attempt to Expel Natalie From
Seryia Fails.


BELGRADE, May 1S.-The project of
this city, charged by the regents with
the duty of expelling ex-Queen Natalie
from Servian territory, went to the lat
ter's residence, today, and, in spite of
her earnest protests, compelled her to
enter a carriage, which. drove towards
the quay on the Danube, where the
royal yacht was moored. The students
turned out in force and surrounded the
carriage, detached the horses and
dragged the vehicle back to the ex-
queens residence, cheering loudly as
they passed through the streets. The
project, assisted by force of fgendarmes,
tried in vain to regain possession Of the
ex-queen, and several collisions took
place between the gendarmes and stu
dents.
The regents are anxiously discussing
the next step, as it is evident the ex-
queen is not so friendless as they had
supposed. The citizens and merchants,
as we'll as the opposition party in the
pskuptchina, generally side with the ex-
queen.
Intense excitement prevails. Nata-
lies residence is defended by students.
