THE ITATA A fhUONKlt.

TQDIQUE, Jtme 3.—Tho ltata arrived here Thursday mor^Ung with 6,000 rifles uboard. It was Immediately surrendered to the American admiral— McCann. The com in under of tho ltata states that tho arms were not embarked at,San Diego, but at a point many mile* at sea. Tho Iqulquc government claims that thiB circumstance modifies the situation considerably and will probably result In a speedy solution of the difficulties between tho admirals and the junta. Tho authorities at tho same tlmfe declare that tho car go of tho ltata Is of little importance, taking Into consideration the small number of arms.

As soon as the ltata entered the harbor here from Tooopllla Sear Admiral MoCann, hi company with the rebel commandent, went on board. With very little formality the privateer and her precious freight were placed under oontrol of the United States squadron. The captain of the steamer says ho did not see the Esmeralda off Acapulco, and although he was expecting a chase, did not actually know tho Charleston was in pursuit. Naturally the Itata's officers aro disappointed that the vessel and cargo have to bo given

without a fight for

them. Snortly before 12 o'clock Thursday tlie Charleston tvas sighted, and thirty minutes later she reached the offing and saluted. Capt Rcmoy reported to thq roar admiral and was at once placed In charge of the ltata.

The Itata's flight began about the 5th of May. She had laid to oil San Diego, CuL, and there taken on a cargo of small arms for tbe Chilian Insurgents or congress faction. Uer action was discovered by the United States marshal, who seized Uer for violation of tho neutrality law. In confidence that thero would bo no resistance to tho selzuro tho marshal left a deputy and two men In custody of the ship. During the night tho ltata put to sea, but after she had gone a short dlstanoe the marshal's posse and the pilot were sent ashore in a small boat. The matter was reported to Washington and the cruiser Charleston ordered to go in pursuit. The Charleston was at San Francisco, and befqro she could be ooaled and provisioned the ltata had good five days' start of her. Tho ltata was convoyed at the outset by tho Chilian warship Esmeralda, but the inability of the latter to obtain coal at Acapulco put her out of the race. The commander of the ltata had hoped to make some port in the hands of the insurgents, but the fact that he was out of coal and short of provisions, as well as tho knowledge that he was closely pursued, drove him to Iqulquc. Ships pf the United States navy that were hove ^waiting her coming promptly demunded lier surrendor, and the commander of the ltata, after a brief parley, complied.

WASHINOTOX, June 5.—The navy department received official information Thursday night of tho peaceful surrender of the Chilian insurgent stoamcr ltata at Iqulquc. This Information was contained in dispatch from Acting Roar-Admiral McCann, received by Secretary Tracy several hours after the regular time of closing the .department The dle-

patch came in cipher, ant! it took about three hours to translate it, and even then there were several Instances in which its contents could not be fully interpreted. In effect the dispatch stated that the Ituta had arrived at Iqulquc from Toeopclla Wednesday night and was placed nt the disposition of Admiral McCunn Thursday morning. It had on board, the dispatch says. 15,000 rifles and alsd ammunition taken from the sohooner Robert and Minnie off tho port of San Diego, Cal. It has no other munitions of war than those belonging tp tho ship and had transferred nothing to the Esmeralda, with which it communicated off Acapulco, Mex. After communicating with this insurgent cruiser the ltata wont direct to Tocopclla. Admiral McCann says also that the cruiser Charleston arrived at Iqulque Thursday and that tho Pensacola was cxpectod before night.

The surrender of tho ltata was unquestionably on the advice of the representatives of the insurgents In the United States and was possibly arranged through the Graces. No negotiations were had on behalf of tne United States government, because it could recognize no one to negotiate with, but when Michael P. Grace was hare a fortnight ago he satisfied himself that the penalties against the fugitive vessol would not be severe 11 she gave herself up, while if she did not the complications sure to arise would prejudice the cause of the insurgents indefinitely- The Itata's offense does not come within the definition of piracy, and by putting the United States deputy marshal ashore .she escaped the penalty of kidnaping. Naval and state department authorities differ as to the exact nature of the offense, but these questions will le settled when the vessel Is taken back to San Diego under convoy of one of Admiral McCann's cruisers. The ltata ,will be delivered to the United States court officers at San Diego and tho proceedings against it for violation of the neutrality laws will bo resumed at the point where they were interrupted by the unlawful departure of the steamship, and tho responsible parties will, if they appear, also bo called upon to answer the additional charge of contempt of court in running away while under Injunction.

Secretary Tracy said that the desire for a surrender came from the leaders of (.lie Insurgent party at Iquique.

0 RAW FORDS VILLE, INDIANA FRIDAY, JUNE 5, 1891.

Shortly aft'tr the vessel had Illegally escaped from the custody of the marshal at San Diego the government wu» informed by these loaders that tliey disapproved tho action of the officers of the vessel the moment she escaped, and made offers through Admiral McCann to peaceably surrender her to tho United States us soon as she arrived in Chilian waters. 'l'hese offers were thon communicated to the department at Washington, and in due timo Were accepted by this {fuvernment. without, however, implying any reeognitlon on the part of the United States of the insurgents as. belligerents. Tho proposition for a 'poaci«_ul surrender was pending at the/time the Charleston, whioh was in pursuit of the ltata, was at Acapulco replenishing her diminished coal supply. As soon as the offer was aocepted a telegram authorizing him to cease the chuso was sent to Cupt. Romey.of the Charleston, but the steamer had already sailed when the telegram reached Acapulco, and the captain, unaware of the turn affairs had taken, proooeded on his search for the escaped vessel. The. fact of tho acceptance of tho offers to surrender the ltata on her arrival in Chilian waters was therefore communicated to Admiral MoCann, who was prepared to receive the ltata on her arrival.

This ends a remarkable naval chase. The Judicial proceedings will be watched with interest, and us important questions of international law may bo brought forward if the owners of the ltata insist on a full legal determination of ail nmttors they may fairly bring up, it is likely that the case will bo a celebrated one. and a precedent that will be among the first looked up hereafter, should cases arise to which the questions settled in this case would be applicable.

PANAMA, June 5.—The Chilian insurgent warship Esmeralda has just arrived here.

SAN FRANCISCO, June 5. Chilian dispatches describe a fierce naval battle in Valparaiso harbor April -is. The insurgent cruiser M'agullenes attacked the government gunboats Aldea, Lynch ond Condell, and all wore badly used up. Over 100 men were killed in the engagement. Fully onohalf were on board, the Magalleues. The Condell had to run on a beach to prevent her sinking, ^vliile the Aldea was so badly damaged as to require a long time to repair her. The Lynch was not seriously damaged. There were three foreign war vessels In tho harbor at the time of the engagement.

WASHINGTON, June 3 —South American mails received by the bureau of American republics arc full of interesting details of tlie Chilian civil war. The new Chilian congress convened by Ilalmaceda, which Is now In session and in which Balinuceda's friends claim all but two provinces arc represented, has placed absolute powjr in his hands. It has authorized him, "pending the paolficatlon of the country," to arrest artd transport persons at will, to augment the land and sea forces, to expend tho public revenues without regard to the estimates, to procure money by pledging the credit of the state, rendering an account to congress, and to suspend the right of meeting and the liberty of the press.

In pursuance of these powers decrees arc published in the Diario Official releasing four citizens suspected of sympathy with the congressional revolu lutlonists from imprisonment in the Santiago penitentiary, on their depositing S"i0,000 each in the Valparaiso national banks to tho order of the secretary of the Interior, conditioned on their not taking part In the revolution. They are further required to reside in Europe and not return to Chill without special permission of the government

Ten or twelve other citizens are also released from imprisonment on similar conditions, their bonds ranging from 68,000 to S-W, ((), but with permission to remain within Chilian territory provided they do not "take part in poll tics."

The United States minister, Hon. Patrick Eivgnn, and all the members of tho diplomatic corps attended tho opening of Balmaeedfi's congress, except theOennan and Italian ministers. The British, French, German and Italian governments, it is understood, have protested against the decree closing the commerce and ports of Chanaral, Taltul, Autofogasta, Toeopilla, Iqulque, Calesta Buena, Junin. Pisagua and ull the intermediate by-ports now held by the insurgents. Representatives of the insurrectionary party claim that these ports produce a rovonue of $211,000,000, and that there aro 00.000 foreigners resident in the provinces which the insurrectionists control.

Famine prices were said to be prevailing at Iqulque. Meat was selling at 70 ceDts a pound, potatoes at 820 a bag and flour at $10 a bag.

Tho Whisky Trust Completes Oignntlo Monopoly. ......

TWO MORE DISTILLERIES BOUGHT.

By the riirrl.uso of the Sliufcldt ami Calumet KatllllUtilllllcntfl I hp t'omlilno Has the I'll 11 r,' I'it'ld t.i Itself.

OOIim.Kl) HY TILL". TRUST.

CHICAGO, June r,—The whisky trust has triumphed at last. The Distilling and Cattle Feeding Company, the incorporated name of the trust, has purchased the Henry II. Shufcldt and the Calumet Distilling Company's plants, thereby ending one of the bitterest fights between rival conccrns evor known, and at the same time creating one of the most absolute and complete monopolies tlie oommcrclal world has ever heard of. The two big anti-trust distilleries sold everything, which includes the real estate, machinery, stock of goods, patents, trade marks, good will and tho right to continue tho use of the nainos of the two companies. The purchase prico, it is understood, is in the neighborhood of $4,600,000.

The purchuse leaves the trust practically without a rival. The trust was organized four years ago, and with these purchases lias succccded in gobbling up every distillery In the entire country. One year ago It had four healthy rivals in the field. Thc.y were the St Paul Distilling Company, tho Riverdalc of Chicago, the Shufcldt and tho Calumet At that time it weakened Its enemies' strength by securing tlie St. Paul concern, and last September the Riverdalo was brought into tho fold. And Thursday the crisis was reached after a most bitter fight on the part of tho Scliufeldts and Lynohes.

Thursday's purchases make the whisky trust the absolute owners of ever}- distillery in Chicago. The Shufcldt has a capacity of 01,000 bushels, producing 25,000 gallons of whisky a day, proof goods. The Calumet's capacity is 85,000 bushels, or 17,000 gallons a day. Ileforc thc.so last purchases the trust produced about 200,000 gallons a day. Tho other Chicago distilleries owned by the trust are the Phoenix, with a capacity of 8,500 bushels the Unitod States, 2,000 tho Chicago, 2,500 the Empire, 2,000 the Riverdalo, 2,000 and the National, 2,000, These do not represent half the property of the trust, although If necessary the Chicago plants could produce about one-third of the total product.

President Slioridan, of the Calumet Distilling Company, is of the opinion that tho new deal will not materially affect the price of whisky, as 11 has already reached tho reasonable margin. To raise it much higher would invite competition with the Kentucky whisky and bring large amounts of aged goods into the market.

HE OWNED THE TOOLS.

The Gambling Implement* Used III Tr.'Ulhy Croft Were tlie Property of the rrinre of Wales.

LONDON, June 5.—One of the sensational features of the day in the baccarat scandal trial was the bringingout of the fact that the princc of ales owned the counters that wore used In the games at Tranby Croft When young Mr. Wilson was on the stand It was shown in the cross-examina-tion that the counters were set that thh prince carried about with him when visiting country houses for use in the indispensable game of baccarat This fact lias been well known all along (before the trial and during its progress in court), but the fact that this ownership of the counters has been dragged out In court by Sir Edward Clarke, the leading counsel for the plaintiff, is looked upon as being direct and positive evidence that Sir William Gor-don-Cumming is "showing his teeth," and that he is not incliaed to spare his former friend, the prince of Wales, any further, for, as everybody admits, the heir apparent up to the present has been very tenderly treated by both parties to this interesting suit
