THE ITATA.
The Surrendered Vessels Ma.
chinery IN lad Shape.
Several Days Will Be Needed to
Repair 1t.

She VIII Then Leave for San Diego Con-
voyed by the Charlottesville Insur-
gents Doing All in Their Power to Get
Possession of the Munitions She Carried
When She Surrendered.
IQUIQUE. June S.-The machinery of
the steamer Itata is in bad state and it
will require some days to put it in order
again. When the necessary repairs are
completed the Itata will leave for San
Diego, Cal, conveyed by the United
States steamer Charleston.
The junta alleges that the arms and
ammunition were transferred from the
sailing vessel Robert and Minnie, to the
Itata, near the island of San Clemente,
and therefore claims that the American
law was not violated, and is making
strong representations to the United
States government, with view of get
ting possession of the munitions. Pub
lie opinion here is strongly in favor of
the junta.
A prize crew of the Charleston went
aboard the Itata and took formal posses
sion of the long -sought-for craft. Capt.
Manzum, her commander, is the here Of
the hour and was given rousing recep-
ton when he landed and reported his
arrival to the insurgent authorities. In
the meantime the United States consul
had been officially notified that Admiral
McCann could have possession of the
late fugitive vessel whenever he chose.
He at once informed the admiral of
this fact and boats crew was sent to
the itati, with request TO the captain
to repair aboard the flagship Baltimore
This he did and had long talk with
Admirals McCann and Brown, Capt
Schley and Capt. Remey, of the Charles
ton, who had been previously been sum-
moned to take part in the interview and
to hear what MCapt. auzum had to say
from San Diego to Tocopilla and the
manner in which he evaded the Charles
ton.
AS result of the conference it was
arranged that a prize crew from the
Charleston should go aboard the Itata
the next morning and take formal pos
session of the ship. This progam was
carried out to the letter, and as soon as
she can be got into shape she will start
for San Diego under under the convoy of
the Charleston.
just what led the insurgents to sur
render the ship and arms is not known
definitely but the general opinion is that
Admiral Mccain informed the authori-
ties that unless the cargo as well rs the
ship were given up to him, he in con-
formity with his instructions from the
navy department, would take action to
get them.

An Arrest for Train Wrecking Likely I
Send a Murderer to the Gallows

Send a Murderer to the Gallows.
MOBILE, Ala, June S.-Nineteen
years ago Moke Hollyfield killed a man
named Williams, at Three Rivers, in
jackson county, Miss. The coroner's
jury declared the killing was justihable,
but the grand jury found an indictment
for murder, and Hollyfield was arrested.
Before the trial he made his escape from
Jail and fed, moving into Alabama.
The court house at Scranton, Miss, had
been burned, and with it the Indictment
for murder against Hollyfield.
Recently the man was arrested in
Baldwin county, Ala, on charge of
attempted train wrecking The rail
road detective who made the latter case
against him, hunted up the particulars
OF the forgotten murder of nineteen
years ago. Some of the witnesses We're
still alive when Hollyfield's trial at
Brewton came up for train wrecking.
The particulars of the old murder were
brought out in the testimony. He was
acquitted of the charge of train wreck
ing, but Cartoons investigation made
such clear case that the grand jury of
jackson county, Miss, found a true bill
for the almost forgotten crime. Holly
field was arrested and taken to Scranton
Jail, where he is now waiting trial, with
strong probability of conviction.

AMERICAN REPUBLICS.
The Bureau in Washington Gives Out Sol

The Bureau in Washington Gives Out Some
Information About the West Indies.
WASHINGTON, June S.-The bureau of
the American republics has the follow
ing information: The increasing tide of
winter travel to the West Indies is caus-
ing the development of number of
steamship and hotel building projects,
and the extension of cable communica-
tions.
A company is to build a $50, 1000 hotel
on each of the WindwANl islands, and to
construct two new steafners, to be fitted
up with first class passenger accomoda-
tions and cold storage facilities for fruit
to ply between those islands and New
York, and not to occupy more than ten
days for the trip.
The governor of Granada proposes to
subsidize the steamers at the rate of ST.
500 year for seven years, and to
guarantee for the same length of time
per cent. interest on the hotel invest
ment.
The government of Trinidad has also
agreed to subsidize line of steamers to
New York and has given a contract for
the erection of hotel at Port of Spain.
In the Leeward islands the governor
has subsidized packet company to run
steamers between Dominica and st.
Thomas, taking in the chief of the Vir-
gin islands, not hitherto accessible.
A company known as the Bermuda
and West India Cable company, which
is not connected with the Western
Union system, proposes to establish
cable service which will commence at
St. Thomas and come down the islands
to Trinidad. 1t promises to reduce cable
rates to New York from 81. Is word,
as now charged, to seventy-five cents.
Another projected enterprise is a sys-

Good and American Farmers WIN Benc-

Tillers of Europe.
WASHINGTON, June 8.--A letter from
London of great interest to American
farmers appears in The New York
Times from Mr.. A. M. Gibson, long a
well known correspondent here He is
keen observer, and for two years past
has had exceptional facilities for know
ing the transactions of several of the
largest financial corporations in London
and Paris, Following are extracts from
this letter, dated May 80:
For ten days the weather throughout
the British islands and over q great part
of the continent has been very unseason-
able. Snow, hail, disagreeable cold rain
have in turns been the prevailing order.
The agricultural outlook was decidedly
unfavorable before this recent bad
weather. The spring was very back
ward, the only good weather being that
OF tho latter part Of April. The crops
generally viii be failure. in France
the recent rains have greatly injured the
growing wheat, and the minister of ag-
riculture states that a large shortage is
inevitable, and if more favorable wealth
er is not experienced soon it will be
well-nigh total failure. In England it
is decidedly worse than in France.
The Ameripan farmnJ.a NAV fharafora
take it for granted that there win be
market for all their surplus wheat in
Europe, and at good prices.

NEW YORK, June S.-A Washington
special to The Press says: A story was
sent from here Friday to the effect that
the president had rendered the commits

Steele, of Oklahoma. Investigation re-

A gentleman close to the president states
that the position has not been offered to

and that Deputy Commissioner Andrew

WAPAKoNErA, o., June S.-Great in
Indignation prevails in the vicinity OF
the st. Mary's reservoir, particularly
among the fishermen, over the drilling
of an oil well in the reservoir, which
was commenced on Monday, and will
soon be completed, unless the board of
public works interferes to stop further
operations. There is no doubt but what
this reservoir covers the richest of the
oil field, but if polluted with oil the
fisherman's sport would be destroyed.

ANOTHER REVOLT IN INDIA.

LONDON, June S.-From India comes
the news of another uprising, this time
in the state of Keonjhur, where the reb-
els have swept everything before them,
robbed the treasury of the maharajah
and prepared to defend themselves
against British interference. The Sew
enteenth Bengal infantry has started to
put down the insurrection, which is
strictly local in its character, and is be-
heved not to be formidable.
The cause of the outbreak appears TO
have been the conduct of the mahara-
jah, who has of late been expressing his
subjects with excessive taxation, partly
in order to pay the tribute to the British
and partly for his own enrichment. he
added also to the discomfort by receiv-
ing a Persian slave into his harem, Civ
