The Department Blamed for the Heavy


Loss.
MARYsvILLE, Sept. 2l.-A fire in the
northwestern part of this city this morn
ing burned two dwellings and their con-
tents. The loss is about $1,000; insur-
ance, 1850. The poor work of the fire
department caused the loss. The City
Council Will hold IA special meeting this
evening, and it is rumored that they will
discharge the present Chief Engineer and
several firemen. There is much feeling
here concerning the manner in which the
department has succeeded in the previous
two fires, and not desiring to have in
surance rates elevated, the property
owners have demanded that something
be done. The apparatus is the best made,
and there is plenty of it, but the fault lies
in the force employed

THE ITATA LIBEL.
Attorney White Says the Proceeding
is an Outrage.

is an Outrage.
SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. PA Chronicle
Los Angeles special says: Stephen Nj.
White and George J. Denis, attorneys for
the Itata, were to-day interviewed re-
garding the new libel suit OF 100000
Iled against the Itata for the expense OF
recapturing her. They said that some
days ago the Chilean authorities informed
the United States that negotiations for
the release of the Itata had been sus-
pended, owing to the guarantee demanded
by the United States; that no damages
would be asked by Chile for her deten-
ton. We were ordered to demand an
immediate trial of the case, and requested
an appraiSement of the Itata and her re-
lease on bond. The attorneys for the
United States agreed to this in court, and
Judge Ross appointed appraisers, but on
the same train that took them to San
Diego to fulfil the duties went United
States Marshal with a new libel prepared
by the same attorneys that had just con-
sented 10 the release of the vessel on
bond. The new libel is an outrage under
the circumstances, and we fully believe
ii will be disavowed at Washington.
The appraisers in the case of the
steamer Itat2 to-day reported 10 Judge
Ross fixing the value of the vessel at
100000, and the arms at the same amount.
The vessel was ordered released on the
filing OF bonds in double the amount.
Counsel for defense i'll the cases against
Richard Trumbull, George n. Burt and
Captain O'Farrell asked for a speedy
trial, which was opposed by the Govern
nent on the ground that it was impossi-
bic to get witnesses. The case was
finally set for October 10th.
THE SECOND LIBEL DISMISSED.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 21.-The Attorney
General has directed the United States
District Attorney to dismiss the second
libel against the Itata, and she will be inn
mediately released and free to resume
traffic. This new libel was filed against
the vessel unknown 10 and unauthorized
by the Attorney-General.
With the consent of the Attorney Gen
eral the Itata was released on bond, but
before the bond was taken the apprais-
ers were appointed who appraised
the vessel ana cargo. The bond accepted
