THE ITATA SURRENDERED.
Chilean Insurgents Unwilling TO Row with Uncle


The Navy Department has at last heard from
the Chilean insurgeut transport Itata, which
the cruiser Charleston was sent in pursuit OF
after that vessel had weighed her anchors aud
departed from the harbor at san Diego, Cal
carrying with her a Deputy United States
Marshal, who lad been placed on board OF her
by due process Of law, she being accused OF
having a cargo Of arms aud munitions of war
In violation Of the neutrality law.
The cruiser Charleston arrived az Iquque
one day alter the Itata, but the LATER, accord
ing to the dispatch, had peaccably surrendered
10 Admiral Mccain, commanding tho Pacific
Squadron, before the cruiser arrived. The
ltata had on board 600 rifles, besides ammuni-
ton, which had been taken from the schooner
Robert and Minnie OF the port Of san Diego
May 5. The !tata had not transferred anything
10 the insurgeIt man of-war Esmeralda with
whom she had communicated of Acapulco
Mexico.
The Itats will be sent back to San Diego
Under convoy Of one Of the vessels in the Pacific
Squadron, as goon as she can coal and prepare
for the retuFn journey. She will be delivered
20 the United States Court officers at San
Diego, aud the proceedings against her for
violation oft neutrality laws will be resumed
81 the point whore they were interrupted by
TIE unlawful departure Of the steamship, and
tie responsible parties will, ifthey appear, also
be called upOu 10 answer the additional charge
OF contempt OF court in running away while
under an injunction.
Secretary Tracy said the desire 10 surrender
the vessel came from the leaders Of the insur-
gent PARTY at Iquique, and that shortly after
the vessel had made her escape from the United
States Marshal at san Diego, our Government
was informed by these leaders that they disap-
! proved tho action Of the officer Of the vessel
and made offers through Admiral McCann 10
peacefully surrgAder hci to he United States as
soon SIC arrived ia Chilean waters These
/ Offers were communicated 10 the Washington
authorities, aud were accepted without imply
/ ing any recognition on tic part OF tie United
/ States Government OF the insurgents as bcllis-
/ crents, they wishing 10 keep on friendly terms
with this Nation.
The cruiser Charleston had orders 20 capture
. the Itata, 10 matter where found, aud IL is a
I fortunate thing that the cruiser did not over.

the shape OF a mighty horn, the top Of which is
longer than the distance between New York
