THE ITATA INCIDENT.
Digging Up Dispatches-The Charleston
Did Not Stop at Panama.


Los ANGELES, May 22.-In accordance
with the request of the federal grand jury.
Judge Ross today issued an order direct
ing Francis Jaynes, superintendent Of the
Western Union, to produce all the tele-
grams in his possession which passed be-
tween Ricardo Trumbull and George A.
Bent, by whatever devices or initials or
names may be signed, relating to the
schooner Robert and Minnie or the steam
shin Itata. between the dates of April 1
and May 10.
WAsHIsGroy CIrY, May 22.-The fact
that the Charleston has not reported
her arrival at Panama yet is regarded, by
the navy department as evidence that the
vessel has passed onward south.
"I don't think there is the least doubt
about the authority of the United States
government TO pursue the Itata and cap
ture and bring her in, for she
is nov pirate vessel on the sea,
sailing without a fiag," said a cabi-
net officer who represents the position
occupied by Secretary Tracy. Touching
the right TO seize the ftata on the high
seas. there is recent decision in the dis
trict court for the Southern district OF
New York. The Ambrose Light was a
brigantine sailing under the commission
and orders of insurgents against the
established government of the emitted
States of Colombia. she was seized
on the high seas and brought
INTO New York by the United States
gunboat Alliance, where she was hbeled
for forfeiture as a pirate. The question
was whether this vessel, sailing as the rep
z..o.,va ~ a rouer having no national
recognition, was or was not a pirate.
Judge Bowen held distinctly that vessel
in SO sailing is pirate; that the right 70

soyereigns only, and that until the IN
surgents or the rebellion receives recogni-
ton from other nations OF standing as

Italy Has No Grievance.
NEW YORK, May 22.-The Herald will
make public tomorrow for the first time
the inside history of the diplomatic con-
troversy between italy and tn,
United States, growing out of
the lynching at New Orleans. The
Herdtd's facts are official, having been
taken from copy of the Italian green
book containing documents submitted by
the Marquis di Rudini, the premier, TO the
Italian parliament on April 30. The green
book reached this country today, having
been sent by Baron Fava from Rome TO his
friend, Professor Alessandro Oldrint. See
