THE ITATA SURRENDERED.

She Has Been Delivered to the American War Ships. A special from Iquique, Chili (via Galveston) June I.says: The steamship Itata arrived here this morning from Tocopilla, and has been delivered over to the American war ships n»w here. The Charfeston is expected to arrive here to-day. The Itata has handed over all the arms she took .from San Diego, consisting of five thousand rifles. This ends the pursuit of the Itata,which has continued several weeks. The vessel was loaded with arms, supplies and other munitions of war, on the western coast, more than a month ago, for the Chilian insurgents. The United States Government officials were apprised of this, and ordered - her under arrest for violation of neutrality jaws, and a United States deputy marshal was placed on board of her. Her officers, however, did not take kindly to this, and set sail for the south, taking the deputy marshal with them. Then began the pursuit by the armed cruiewiQharieston,which resulted in various sensational reports of battles on the sea,the sinking of the Itata etc. The Charleston did not catch her, however, and both vessels have reached Chilian ports within a few days. The surrender of the Itata to the United State 5 * war ships will preclude any international complications arising over her actions. She will doubtless be brought back to San Francisco.
