he said, they were standing on the brink

With the u S. marshal ON her;
The man turned pale,
To see her sail,
For he thought he was goner.
The ship wore round,
Far down The sound,
In the usual ship-shape manner;
And there she stopped,
And the marshal hoped
On shore with his starry banner.
The captain stood
On his bridge of wood;

The College and Academy Students at
Beloit, Wis, Indulge in a Riot.
BELo1T, Wis, June 5.-There is con-
siderable excitement to-day over the fra
cas- of the college and academy students
last night, which resulted in an incipient
riot. The senior academy class was to
have it's annual banquet, which event for
years has been the occasion for more or
less of muss. Usually the members of
the banquetting class are kidnapped by
the other classes, or otherwise detained
from participating in the festivities.
Last night some of the &C llege and acad-
envy students made charge on the ban
quoting class. One student was shot in
the side by another, but his wounds are
not dangerous. Windows were broken
in the hotel where supper was to be
served. The toast master was taken
from his home to the banquet hall under
guard of police. There are several ban
daged heads at the Rotations to-day. It
was the toughest event the college boys
ever engaged in here.

Tho Runaway Steamer Reaches
1quique and is !erned Over to
the American Authorities
All the Arms She Had Was Five
Thousand Rifles-No Arma-
ment as Reported.
She VIII be Taken to San Diego,
Where She Will be Tried for
Running Away.

Iou1ouE, June 4.-The Itata arrived
here this morning with 5000 rifles
aboard. She was Immediately surren-
dered to the American admirals, Mccain
and Brown. The commander of the Itata
states that the arms we're not embarked
at San Diego, but at point many miles
at sea. The Iquique government claims
that this circumstance modifes the situ-
alton considerably and will probably re-
suit in speedy solution of the Difficult
ties. The authorities at the same time
declare that the charge of the Itata is of
little Importance, taking into considera-
ton the small number of the arms.

Why the Itata Was Surrendered


WASHINGTON, June 1.-The navy de-
partment received official information to-
night of the peaceful surrender of the
Gillian insurgent steamer Itata at
Iquique to-day. This information was
contained in dispatch from Acting Rear
Admiral Mccain, received by Secretary
Tracy several hours after the regular time
for closing the department. The dis
patch came in cipher, and it took about
three hours to translate it, and even then
there were several instances in which it's
contents had not been fully interpreted.
In effect, the dispatch stated that the
Itata had arrived at Iquique from TOGO
pilla last night and was placed at the
the disposition of Admiral Mccain this
morning. She had on board, the dis
patch says. 5000 rifles aud also
the ammunition taken from the
schooner Robert & Minnil off
the port of San Diego, Cal. She had no
other munitions of war than those be-
longing to the ship and had transferred
nothing to tue Esmeralda, with whom
she communicated when off Acapulco,
Mexico. After communicating with this
insurgent cruiser, she went to Tocapilla
Admiral Mccain says the Charleston
arrived to-day and the Pensacola was ex-
pected before tomorrow. The Itata will
be delivered to the United States court
at San Diego, and proceedings against
her for violation of the laws will be- re-
sumed at the point where they were in
terrupted by the unlawful departure of
the steamer, and the responsible parties
will, if they appear. also be called upon
to answer the additional charge of con-
tempt of court in running away while
under an INDUCTION. Secretary Tracy
gave to an Associated Press reporter to-
night
THE CHAIN OF CIRCUMSTANCES
that has led up to the surrender to the
United States of the Itata to-day. The
secretary said the desire for the surren-
der came from the leader of the insurgent
party at Iquique. Shortly after the ves-
sci had finally escaped from the custody
of the marshal at San Diego, the govern
ment was informed by these leaders that
they disapproved the action of the Off
GERS of the vessel, and offered, through
Admiral Mccain, to peacefully surren-
der her as soon as she arrived in CHILEAN
waters. These offers were then commu-
nicated to the department at Washing.
ton and in due time were accepted by
this government without. however.
implying any recognition on the part of
the United States of the insurgents as
belligerents. 4 proposition for peace
full surrender was pending at the time
the Charleston, which was in
pursuit of the Itata, was
at Acapulco, replenishipg her
diminished coal supply. AS soon as the
offer was accepted, telegram authoriz-
ing to cease the chase was sent to Cant
Remy of the Charleston, but he had al
ready sailed when the telegram reached
Acapulco. The fact of the acceptance of
the offers to surrender the Itata on her
arrival in Gillian waters was therefore
communicated to Admiral Mccain who
was therefore prepared to receive the
ltata ON her arrival. Secretary Tracy
SAID the ltata would be sent up coast to
San Diego to answer the charges against
her in the court.
