Captain Titus Says Boston Police Let
 Facts Leak Out.
 New York, June 1S.-The New York police are working hard 10 secure some traces of Joseph Wilfred Blondin who is believed to be hiding in this city un- der the name of Joseph Morrou. While detectives are searching the city through, close watch is being kept for ''Morrou" at the general post office, at the baggage room of the Fail River line and at the Grand Central station. Blondin's green trunk and bicycle were traced by Boston detectives to the Fall River line pier at Fall River. The baggageman there said tset he for warded the articles to New York last Friday night in response to a letter from New York giving him an order to forward the trunk and bicycle.
 Captain Titus of the detective bureau said to-day he was very sorry that the facts in connection with the flight of Joseph Wilfred Blondin to New York had become public through the news papers.
 T have already written letter to the Boston police calling them to ac- count for allowing the facts to leak out there. I am convinced that the leak age occurred in Boston,
 Captain Titus said he had no other clews to the whereabouts of Blondin other than the fact that he had ordered his baggage and bicycle sent here to the Fall River baggage room.
 we should have caught Blondin, though, either at the general delivery window of the post office or at the pier, if the matter had been Kept quiet" he said.

CHILE LOSE CASE.
Her Claim for Seizure of the Itata has
 Been Dismissed.

Been Dismissed.
 Washington, June 1S-The United states and Chilean claims commission mas completed its work. The last case to be decided was that involving the seizure in 1891 of the Chilean vessel Itata by the authorities of the United states on the grounds that she was carrying cargo of contraband and arms to Chile. The claim was for t44,0o1 with interest and was made by the. South American Steamship com pany, which had chartered the ship to the Chilean government. The decision or yesterday dismisses the case. Minis ter Pioda of Switzerland, president of the commission, and MT Gage. the American commissioner, agreed in this view, while Minister Vicuna of Chile d1ssented. The commission sums up its findings as follows:
 That the damage alleged by the plaintiffs were not occasioned by any unjustifiable action on the part of the United States; that the Itata was not pursued by the naval authorities of the United States upon the high seas into Chilean waters, induced to surrender by display of superior force and brought back under duress.
 2-That the Itata was voluntarily placed at the disposal of the United States by the provisional government of Chile.
 o-That there was probable cause for the detention of the Itata at San Diego by the authorities of the United States and, therefore, no wrong was done.
 That the claimant has brought suit in the courts of Chile against the government of Chile to recover dam- ages upon the identical claim that is here set up against the United States; that the company has recovered judg- ment thereon, and that these judg- ments have been paid to the company by the government of Chile. The case must therefore, be dismissed.
 Another important case decided yes- terday was that of the Central Ss South American Telegraph company against Chile, growing out of tax of 2 cents a message levied during the uprising of 1891. The commission awarded S4,- GOO damages.
 During the sessions of the commits sion there have been seventeen cases against Chile and two against the Unit ed States, The total of American claims against Chile was $3, ,400.0 and of this $2S.062 has been awarded by the commission. The two Chilean claims against this government were the Itata case, disposed of yesterday, and that of Richard Trumbull, who was awarded S3,000 for services to the United States legation in Chile in an extradiction case some years ago.
