MORE OF THE lTATA.
OGicials Think 1t Is Doubtful Whether n
Case Can BE Made Against Her.


Case Can BE Made Against Her.
WASHINGTON, June 6.-Secretary
Tracy says the next step will he to
send the Itata back to the United
States to stand trial There is no ex.
pectation that the officers and crew of
of ltata will jeopardize their liberty by
returning with the vessel to San Diego,
md as it was reported from Mexico
that the commander of the insurgent
warship Esmerelda acted as captain of
the ltata rs far as Acapulco, there are
at least good reasons why he must not
return TO the United States. In official
circles it is believed the. ltata is not
likely to suffer heavily as a result of
her escapade. Credence is given to u
statement telegraphed from Chile that
the vessel took contra band arms and
ammunition from the Robert and Min
ME outside of United States jurisdic
tion. If this is true the olfenSe against
the neutrality law is minimized and it
is very doubtful If the case could be
made out against her in the present
uncertain construction of the law.
There is little doubt that she can be
held on other charges, such as con
tempt of court, in sailing away while
under injunction and kidnapping a
marshal and sailing without clearance
papers, but these are minor offenses,
whose punishment is likely TO take the
shape of fines. The only dispatch re-
ceived at the navy department today
was from Admiral McCann. ut lquique,
correcting the statement as To the
location of the Itata when the arms
were transferred to it from the schooner
Robert and Minnie. This transfer the
dispatch says took place off San
Clemente island, few miles from the
coast instead of off San Diego harbor.
The location of the transfer may be of

Why are they called straw berries
Smart men differ on that. Some say
it is ON account of their straw-like
stem. Others think it is because they
have to be covered with straw or SINH
lar protecting material in winter. The
most classical explanation is that our
Anglo-Saxon forefathers used to raise
them and they gave them this name
because the berries are geperalIy or
the ground, that is ''strewed' OF
''strawed" around.
