She NAV IcsCaDe,

1t is the general idea that should the
Esmeralda meet the Itata before she is
oveltaken by the Charleston the arms
the arms that she has and cargo will be
transferred. In this case the Charleston
could hardly delay the Esmeralda. No
proofs would be forthcoming to prove
what had become of the munitions of
war. This will doubtless be the course
which the Esmeralda's captain win pur-
sue. The transfer of arms being made
on the appearance of the Charleston, the
empty Itata could be graciously handed
over to it.
If naval engagement takes place it
cannot be delayed, if the Charleston is
on the right track, much longer, and
will doubtless be fought off the coast of
the state of Jalizco.
