to the position which IL then took. This is the
first case in which it has had opportunity TO
There seems to be an impression in some quar-
ters that the course OF the Secretary Of the Navy
and the Attorney General is mot approved in some
respects by all Of President HarrisOns advisers,
remarked the correspondent
Yes, have heard something about that but l
am able TO state positively that the impression is
incorrect IL has been asserted that Secretary
Blaine was inclined to criticse the policy adopted,
but ] happen to know that such is not the case :;
on the contrary, he consulted with other members
of the Cabinet and with the President by tele-
graph before any action was taken, and he is in
hearty accord with the President and the other
members Of the Cabinet.
TO rever, to the question of right or duty"
/ continued the lawyer, Il would like to add that
IT is not necessary to regard the ltata as pirate
in order TO justify her pursuit and seizure on the
high seas. If the United States Marshal had
placed armed men board the vessel, prob
ably he ought TO have done under the circum-
stances she would not have escaped, and in trying
to recapture her the United States is doing what
every civilized Government will fully approve.
The United States authorities, understand, were
informed beforehand of the coming and errand Of
the Itata in American waters and request that
she he kept under surveillance, and, il necessary
seized. was made by the Chilian Government
am also Informed that packages were openly sent
aboard the Itata marked Esmeralda' whose real
errand became notorious There can be no doubt
whatever that the action Of the Government is
proper, and that it will he fully justified"
San Diego Cal. May 17.-Purser Walton, of the
Pacific Coast steamship Newbern, when inter.
viewed to-day, said that the Chilian man.of-
war Esmeralda was short Of coal when the New
bern passed her May l. off Cape San Lucas
The officers of the Esmeralda visited the New
bern at San Jose del Cabo next day. and said
their destination was some port in the United
States where they could get coal They also
inquired as to the quantity of coal the Newbern
was carrying, and seemed disappointed when in
formed that the steamer had only small quantity
Walton says he has doubt that it was the pur-
pose of the Esmeralda to stop the Newbcrn at
sea and take her fuel from her. but she gave up
the idea when she found that the amount car
ried by the passenger steamer so small. The
purser corrObOrated Captain Won Helms about see
ing another warshp much larger than the Esmcr-
aida on the night of May /. He thinks this. also,
must have been an insurgent ship. for the officers
OF the Esmeralda knew Of her, and did not appear
to be alarmed, as would have been the case if
the ship had been Balmaceda's Imperiale. The
officers of the Esmeralda refused 70 tell the name
of the other ship when questioned.

If, as italian Consul, Mr.; Corte has ever had any
