Straws That Indicate That the Itata Is
Safe.
/ CITy OF MEXICO, May 1.-THE Amer
lean ship Charleston and the Chilean
man -of-war Esmeralda are lying at
Dor of Acapulco. The Chilean captain
says his vessel has not called at any
American port, consequently, he5 says,
authorities will interfere with the move
ments, of either himself or his vessel.
An officer of the Esmeralda, in reply
graph oficeat Acapulco, as to the prob
ability of an old-fashioned sea fight
between the Charleston and the Esmer-
aida, said in a iocular and ambiguous
way: "Oh, the Itata is already out of
danger. She has plenty of coal and
provisions to carry, her to her destina-
tion.r
This remark has given rise to report
that the Itata coaled at sea and pro-
ceeded to her destination, while the
Chilean warship steamed for Acapulco
to throw the United States authorities
off the track. ,.-
FL Universal, the only government
organ that has 30 far made any mention
OF the arrival of the Esmeralda at Aca-
pulco, says, in addition to the Esmer-
aida, other Chilean warships are ex-
pected at Mexican ports.
A telegram from Guatemala states
that a schooner captain just arrived re-
ports having seen strange looking ves-
sci, under full sail, proceeding in a
southerly direction. .f

McCann's Orders-No Definite
News of the Itata.
Associated Press Dispatches.

SAN FRANcIsoo, May ia dispatch
to the Chronicle, from Acapulco, under
date 10th, says:
As the Charleston neared the harbor
she passed very close to the Chilean
man-of-war Esmeralda. The crews Of
both vessels were on deck, and there
seemed to be lively curiosity to ascer-
tain the strength and resources Of the
two rivals. AS soon as the Charleston
steamed into port and dropped her
anchor, preparations were at once made
for an emergency, and a battery was
loaded. Soon after this was done, the
Esmeralda changed ground and steamed
into the. harbor.
1t was learned from those on shoR
that the Esmeralda had tried two days
ago to get coal at Acapulco,
but failed. Her commander attempted
to secure supply at several
large houses, but they all refused, as
he could put up no money. 1t was
also learned that the Esmeralda has
been in the habit Of speaking every ves-
sci that she meets, doubtless through
fear that the Itata may pass her.
This morning formal interview took
place between Captain Remey of the
Charleston and the captain of the Es-
meralda. The latter commander in
commenting on the chase of the Itata
said the Charleston would never take
the Itata until the Esmeralda was sunk.
Captain Remey did not seem at all
alarmed by this bluff, but said quietly:
II have my orders to take the Itata.
The fact that the ,Eslneralda is present
will make no difference"
Those who heard the tone in which
Remey pronounced, these words, say
they will give big odds that If the Itata
comes within sight of Acapulco, there
will be fight, unless the Chilean COM
mander takes water.
In Acapulco 1T is generally regarded
as certain that fight will be the out
come should the Itata call in here.
The Charleston is admirably equipped
for action, and everything is in fighting
trim. The closest watch is being main
tanned over the Esmeralda' 8 movements.
1t is not known whether the Esmeralda
is supplied with torpedoes, nor whether
she has a good supply of ammunition as
her commanders exchequer is very low,
however, it is probable that she has no
large amount on board.

NUPTIALS NIPPED.
FIERCELY BROWNING TATHEF
FRUSTRATES FANNY'S FUN.
The Touching and True Tale of the Rudely
Ruptured Schemes of Felix and Fanny
in the Line Matrimonial.

Out where the beauteous poppies grow
Out where the houses are built on sand,
Out where the breezes come and co..
out where the scenery is green and grand,
Fanny, gay Fanny, intending to wed,
Now mourns the vision as faded and dead.
The more particular location of the
sad tale above limited at and hereaftes
to be related is out towards the Univer-
sity, and the young lady in question, q
pretty brunette of IS years or there
abouts, is called Fanny-because that ie
not her name.
Insa pretty little cottage out there
Fanny has for come time lived with
her father and mother, with other mem
bers Of the family. "Papa" isl rich
and miser. He has large holdings in
an eastern state, several good paying in
vestments here, and healthy bank ac-
count. But, as aforesaid, he is miser,
and the members of his own household
are not slow in letting it be known.
Fanny, in particular, seems to have
had a rough and rocky road to travel for
some time past, as she has been obliged
to work hard at home, and couldn't ap-
pear in society for the reason that
papa" wouldn't provide suitable attire,
preferring to see her shabbilY clad and
doing the housework. -
For these reasons, among others,
Fanny resolved to emancipate herself
and take aplunge into the sea of matri-
mony. Her best young man, Felix, a
very worthy and thrifty young working
man, by the way, was not long ago made
acquainted with Fanny's unhappy home
surroundings through a mutual friend,
and he also resolved. Thus, when
next they met, Felix proposed, and
Fanny accepted him.
The now happy, plighted lovers soon
commenced preparations for the we'd
ding, and finally. through the assistance
of Fanny's mother, matters progressed
SO favorably that stern "papa" was
likely to be outwitted, and the date for
the ceremony was fixed upon for last
week. In some way, however, the news
reached the ears of a meddlesome busy
body, who sent an unsigned letter to the
girls father, informing him of the COM
ing event. Then the band played, but
it was not the wedding march. He
threatened all sorts of things, conclud-
ing with the promise to appear at the
Church and create scene ii they per-
sisted in their mad folly"
This threw cold water on the schemes
of the now unhappy lovers, and after
holding consultation, it was decided to
abandon the project, at least for time.
The end is not yet, however, for Felix
and Fanny both have strong wills, and
are more determined than ever to accom-
plish their purpose. Further develop
ments may be looked for in the near
future.

M,cANN IN COMMAND.
Tho Charleston's Movements No Longer
to Be Directed From Washington.

Tho Charleston's Movements NO Longer
to Be Directed From Washington.
WASHINGTON, May 17.-No informa-
: tion has been received at the navy de-
partment regarding the movements of
the Itata, nor have any further orders
been sent to the Charleston directing
her future movements. The only tele-
gram received today was one from Cap
tain Remey saying the Charleston was
nothing had been heard or seen of the
Itata. The Esmeralda was also in port,
and had been refused coal by the Mex
ican authorities.
An order was sent today by Secretary
Tracy to Commodore McCann, now on
his flagship, the Baltimore, at Iquique,
Chile, placing the Charleston under his
immediate command, so that in the
future her movements will be under his
direction instead of under orders from
the navy department as she has been
since leaving San Francisco in search OF
the, Itata. This order will give Com
mander McCann practically discretion
ary powers regarding the future eDurse
the Charleston shall pursue in the chase
Of the insurgent vessel. As there are
now two acting rear-admirals in the
Chilean waters, Commodore McCann on
the Baltimore and Commodore Brown
ON the San Francisco, the command
sof the squadron will devolve
upon Admiral McCann, ,as senior officer,
both admirals, however, keeping their
individual commands, and will in the
future act in concert.
1t is not thought that the order of the
secretary today, placing the Charleston
under the direction of Commodore Nc
Cam, will make any change in the
policy to be pursued by the navy. de-
partment in relation to the pursuit of
the Itata. The order was issued because
the officials of the navy department
were of the opinion that the movements
OF the Charleston, as we'll as those of the
other vessels of the Pacific squadron in
search of the Itata. could be better
moved under the order of Commodore
McCann than under orders from place
so far from the scene OF action as Wash
iagton.
Secretary Tracy said tonight that the
situation remains practically the same
as it was yesterday. Commodore
McCann, he said, would remain as SEN
ior officer in command of the naval
forces 6h the Pacific until the Chilean
difficulty was settled, and would ulti-
mately return to his command of the
South Atlantic station, when Com
mander Brown would assume command
of the Pacific station.
1t is thought the Charleston will take
at least two days, and perhaps longer,
to coal, as ships of her class cannot load
fast, owing to the location OF some of
the coal bins. This will depend,
however, entirely upon the quantity
of coal she needs to fill her blnkers. Bv
the time she has coaled, some new
light may be thrown on the where
abouts OF the Itata., But for the next
two days the Charleston will likely re-
main at Acapulco, in the meantime
keeping lookout for the Itata, and
watching her consort, the Esmeralda.
An official of the navy department
said tonight it was not likely that the
Esmeralda,wonlds seek to procure coal at

ON THE KEEN JUMP.
The Charleston In Great Haste to Resume
the Chase.

New YoRK, May 1S.-A dispatch to
the Herald from Acapulco dated May
IL says: Ever since the arrival here OF
the Charleston the ships company has
|. been on the keen jump to get ready for
sea again. The work of coaling, usually
so distasteful to men-of-war's men,
has been rushed along as if
it were pleasure. Tonight,
with sufficient coal supply for ten days
at high speed, the Charleston will leave
the harbor to continue the chase of the
Itata. No one but Captain Remey
knows what course the Charleston will
steer after she goes outside.
The Esmeralda still lies near the har-
Dor entrance, but has not yet coaled.
Her captain is apparently as ignorant of
the Itata's whereabouts as we
are. There can be no doubt that
the Esmeralda is kept informed by tele-
graph of what is going on in the United
States. Her officers are often seen at
the cable Office, receiving or sending
messages. 1t is rumored, even, that
money will be transmitted to the Es-
meralda by cable transfer to enable her
to get coal here. AT present she could
be of little service to the Itata, even if
the latter arrived off the port, for both
ships must be nearly cleaned out of COAL
The Esmeralda's s officers and crew talk
very freely about the Itata, but evil
IDENTIFY they do SO in the hope that they
will thereby deceive Captain Remey, OF
the Charleston. One of their stories is
that they have already met the Itata
and taken her stores and arms from her.
Another is that the Itata has met coal
laden vessel at sea, and is now pushing
on southwark with full bunkers. These
fairy tales overlook the impossibility of
trans-shipping a heavy cargo of coal or
of arms In the open sea. Such
operation, even with every preparation
made, and modern appliances, would
require week or more at sea, and it
would be difficult and dangerous, then.
What the Charleston intends now do
ing will depend on Captain Remey's
orders. 1t is not improbable that he will
continue straight on for Chile, stopping
for coal at Panama in order of supplying
the other ships of our navy at Iquique.
As the Itata must turn up there event
ually, perhaps that will be the surest
way to catch her.
After sailing tonight the Charleston
may not be heard from again for several
days, or she may be next reported as
bringing the Itata into this port to get
coal before bringing her north.
