The Capture of the Itata Doubtful.

Especial to THE NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. Dispatcb
WASHINGTON, May 13.-Great interest is
attached to the question whether the
Charleston will attempt to seize the Itata
IN case she finds her in Mexican port.
The best informed naval officers are of the
opinion that Captain Remey would much
prefer finding her under convoy of the Es
meralda than snugged away in a Mexican
port. The San Francisco Is reported to be-
at Iquique, bound north. The Omaha is
steaming along the coast of California
Notwithstanding the fact that these yes
sells are under orders to take the Itata.
there is strong feeling in the naval de-
partment she will not be captured. and
prominent naval officer who adheres to this
opinion justified it to-day by remark
ing the Alabama evaded a score of
vessels and continued her depredations
for year Should the Charleston en-
counter the Esmeralda and an engagement
follow, the outcome would be full of the
highest significance from a naval stand
point. In the first place there could hardly
be better or closer match. Both ships
are of the unarmored sort armed with
medium guns and built for high speed on
spurts. With the exception of two heavy
guns, which are two inches greater in the
bore on the Esmeralda than on the Charles
ton, the conditions are very even The
difference in these guns is not thought to
be q matter OF much consequence. as in
close fight 6-inch shot can do practically
as much damage to these paper ships,, az
one of twice the bore.

The Itata Is Not q Pirate.

WASHINGTON, May 13.-There is no
longer tenable claim that the Itata may
be seized as a pirate. 1t is recognized she
can be recaptured for violation of the Gus
toms laws, disregard of the court and per-
haps for kidnapping, but any assumption
that she is pirate is completely negatived
by the doctrine laid down by the late
Francis Wharton, formerly solicitor of the
department Of state and an eminent author
lty on international law. This doctrine
was accepted by Secretary Bayard and laid
down at the time of the Colombian rebel
lion and Panama trouble. The Colombian
government bad declared insurgent vessels
to be pirates as the CHILEAN government has
done, put the secretary held: The govern
ment OF the United States cannot regard as
plratlcal vessels manned by parties in arms
against the government of Colombia when
such vessels passing to and fro are held by
such insurgents, or when attacking
ports in possession of the national
government. In the late civil war
the United States at an early period of the
struggle surrendered the position that
those manning confederate cruisers were
pirates under international law. The
United Statds of Colombia cannot sooner
or later do otherwise than accept the same
views. But, however this may be, no neu-
trail power can acquiesce in the position
now taken by the Colombian government
Another fact which may be of interest in
view of the expected arrival of the Itata
at Mexican port-probably Acapulco-is
that she cannot stay there. Under the
practices of international law, the Mexican
government could not refuse to protect her,
but she could not remain IN port more tnan
twenty-four hours, as to do so would sub
ject her to the charge of using the port as
a base of operations against a friendly gov
eminent. So if the vessel reaches AGA
pulco before the Charleston, the latter
vessel would have simply to wait outside
the port for twenty four hours to get an
opportunity to retake the Itata and her
stores, providing these have not in the
meantime been transferred to the Esmer-
aida
