In Possession of the United States Vessels at Iqutque-What Disposi- tiOn Will be Made of Her-Rettcence of the Navy Department.
 IoU1oUE (via Galveston), June 4.-The Itata arrived here this morning from Toco- pilla, and has been delivered over to the American war ships now here. She sur rendered to them all the arms she took on board off San Diego. These consist of 5000 rifles. The Charleston is expected to arrive here to-day from Africa.
 WASHINGTON, June 4-Secretary Tracy has just received information of the arrival of the Itata at Tocopilla. It is evident that the Charleston must have passed her since leaving Acapulco and it is assumed that the Itata steered course far out at sea while the Charleston was hugging the coast line.
 While nothing definite can be learned as to the surrender of the Itata, the demeanor of Secretary Tracy indicates that he is sat isfed with the situation.
 There can be little doubt that the navy department has received some assurance of the surrender of the Itata, but the officials | there will not say so. Even now, when | the supposed e1igencies of the pursuit | which seemed to require secrecy at every | step have disappeared through the end of | the chase and the surrender of the Itata, official red tape encircles every communi- cation between the department and the naval officers in Chih, so that nothing can be learned officially respecting the situa- 1 ton.
 | Still it can be stated that Admiral Mo Cam is expected to send the Itata back to the United States, probably under convoy l of one of his cruisers as soon as she can coal and prepare for the trip. She will be delivered to the United States court off cers at San Diego and the proceeding against her for violation of the neutrality laws will be resumed at the point where they were interrupted by her unlawful de- parture, and the responsible parties will, if they appear, be called upon to answer the running away while under injun ction. l WASHINGTON, June 4.-Secretary Trac, tonight received the following despatch | from Admiral McCann, dated Iquique Chili, June 4:
 The Itata arrived at Iquique, from Toco pilla. last night, and was placed at the dis posal of Rear Admiral McCann this morn ing. She had on board 5000 rifles an, ammunition taken from the Robert an, Minnie off the port of San Diego, Cal. Sh had no other munitions of war than thos | DeiOuS1uS to Iue Sulp auu tfauSIeIIes nothing to the Esmeralda, with whom sh communicated off Acapulco, Mex. Sh then went direct to Tocopilla.
 The Charleston arrived at Iquique to day and the Pensacola is expected here to day.
 The Chilian insurgents, it seems, upo hearing of the escape of the 1tata whil under injunction, disapproved of thi action and at once determined to surrer der the vessel, and proposition was mad by the insurgents through Admiral Mo Cam to surrender the vessel as soon 8 she reached a South American port.
 PANAMA, June 4.-The Chilian insurger
 warship Esmeralda has just arrived hert
 IoUIQUE, June 4.-The commander of th
 Itata states that the arms were not embarl
 ed at San Diego, but many miles out to SC, The insurgent government at Iquique claim
 that this modifes the situation and wi probably result in speedy solution of di
 fcu1ties.
