THE ITATA PUZZLE.
Differences of Opinion to What Should
Be Done About the Vessel.

Now that the United States government
has got the Itata in port she is q source
of more anxiety than she was Fugitive
from Justice" There are very few Of
ficials in the Navy Department and per-
haps none in the Department. of State who
believe that the prize can be held. 1t is
asserted that she was no more fitted out for
purposes Of war than was the Robert and
Minnie. and it appears altogether improbable
to those who are best informed in such matters
that the court at San Diego will hold her
for violation of the neutrality laws. The dis
patches from San Diego state that the Itata is
to be prosecuted under three counts-the vio-
lation OF customs laws by leaving
port without clearance, the kidnapping
OF the marshal, and violation Of the neutrality
laws. In the first count. over which. of course,
there is no controversy. the officers Of the
ltata, the captain and first mate, have
settled with the Treasury. Department
by the payment Of the usual fine of $500
each. Best authorities here contend that
the charge OF kidnapping cannot be sustained
against the vessel, the law officers of the
government are trying to do but can lie against
the officers only. On the question of inter-
national law there has been conflict of opin-
Ion In administration circles from the first.
DIFFERENCES OF OPINION.
1t is understood that Mr.. Blaine never be-
lieved that the government had any right to
pursue the Itata after she got outside Of Amer
lcan waters, but that Attorney General Miller
and SecretaryTrac contended that chase should
De given and continued until the vessel was
captured on the high seas or in foreign port.
certain 1t is that the prevailing opinion in the
state Department is that a mistake has been
made In the matter, and those officials in each
OF the departments who opposed the pursuit
feel very confident now that their judgment
will be vindicated.
The Chilian minister here and other agents
OF the Chllian government are very active, it is
said, In pressing the case against the Itata.
The movements of representatives of the in
surgents. or as they style themselves, the con-
stltutlonal party. who have been here have, it
is said, been watched and it is asserted that
certain officers of this government are being
constantly watched by persons under the en-
ploy of the Balfhaceda government. very
prominent American has been engaged to
look after Balmaceda's interests and is con-
stantly at the departments.
WHAT If THE INSURGENTS sUCcEEDED2
If the constitutional party should finally be
successful the revolution it is said that the de-
tention of the Itata may prove embarrassing
for this government. These people. who are
termed the insurgents, claim to be the govern
ment under the constitution and that
they are not engaged in a revolution.
If they succeed, they may claim that the United
States prolonged the struggle by the detention
OF the ltata and may claim indemnity
The matter excites a deal of comment in off,
cIal circles and the division Of sentiment is
marked.

which is the main feature of the silver wedding
festivities.
and Duchess of Ediuburg. the Duke of Clarence
and Avondaie and Lord and Lady Salisbury re-
turned to London today.
Truth says that the queen has stipulated that
Emperor William Of Germany shall write out
the speech which lie is to make at Guild Hall
welcome which will be made there
by the recorder on the part of
the corporation. After having written
out this speech according to Truth the emperor
must submit 1t to the queen for approval. Also
that this may act as a curb to the young en-
perors known incontinent tongue, the en-
peror is only to read those portions of his written
speech which may have met with the queen G
sanction.
After leaving Cumberland Lodge the En-
per0r was present at q cricket match, which
was played at Windsor for his special gratifca-
ton.
Later in the afternoon the emperor took
leave Of the queen and left at o clock for Lon
don, where he will occupy a suite of apart
ments at Buckingham palace. The object of the
emperors visit to London is to be present
this evening at the grand command" per-
fOrmance at the Royal Italian opera, which is
expected to be the grandest performance in
the history of Covent Garden.
The central boxes in the grand tier have been
thrown into an immense box for the occasion
The staircases and corridors of the opera house
will be lined throughout with the leomen of
the Guard and with detachments from the
Grenadiers. Cold Stream and Scots Guards. The
whole house may be said to be one mass of
flowers and plants, and it is expected that the
opening scene will be one from "Lohengrin," :"
which includes a welcome to German king ar
irving on foreign shore. Fabulous prices are
being paid for seats at this operate fete.
Tomorrow the emperor and his party and
the royal family will hear the Golden
Legend at the Albert Hail. and the same day
the imperial traveller may visit the naval exhi-
bition. The exact time for this visit is kept a.
secret in order to avoid q crush, which would
undoubtedly be the result if the public finds
out the exac. time at which the emperor will
be there.
