pursuit and capture Of the flibustering

civil war was raging there, and put to
sea from San Diego, CAL, May 6 in def
ance of United States laws, with Unit

board. At sea the Itata took on cargo

pursuit Of the Itata with orders to TAX
her at all hazards. The memorable sterl
chase lasted twenty-five days. Many
thought naval battle would occur, for i
was presumed that the Esmeralda,
powerful ironclad, would attempt to pro
tect the Itata. but no occasion for 4
fight arose.
When, on June 4. the Charleston ar
rived at Iquique she learned for the first
time that the CHILEAN insurgents, fearing
trouble with the United States, had con-
sented to hand. over the Itata with all her
cargo.
The runaway shortly steamed into Iqui-
que and was surrendered to Admiral Nc
Cam, in charge of the United States
feet. The Charleston escorted the cap
tive cruiser back to San Francisco and
international complications with the
Latin-American republic were averted.

Construction Board Considering Build
ing of Eighteen New Vessels.
The project for further naval increase,
which Congress will be asked to author
ize at the next session for immediate con-
struction, involves eighteen warships'
three of them armored cruisers OF the I'M
proved Brooklyn type, but double the
size and formidableness Of that excellent
vessel; three improved Olympias, one
third larger and proportionately more
powerful than the fine flagship that leo
the way into Manila bay, and twelve
gunbeats of type recommended by Ad-
miral Dewey as essential for the effective
patrol of the Philippine archipelago. Inc
latter class, to use the admiraps own ex-
preston, summing up the results OF ms
experience in Asiatic waters, must De
quickly built, must be able to go out TO
Manila under their own steam. must
draw less water than any gunboat now
in the navy, must maneuver easily In tor
tuous channels. and. above all. must
have sufficient protection to resist cap
ture IL stranded. Such boats, in ms
opinion, are needed now, and will always
be needed to patrol the numerous cnan-
nels between the less civilized ISLANDS.

AS result Of the games settled Sat-

over Michigan was by no means decisive,

Chicago's defeat Of Northwestern was
impressive, but the form displayed By
the victors was even more significant Of
their worth than was the big score. Wis

victory over the Massachusetts, Institute
