Any nation can capture her. If she mnde auy resistance she would be a pirate: 1f the United States demanded her surrender from the country o which the steamer had gone that governmeut would turrender her The Charleston is a sixteen knot steamer The ifata is probably not more thun a six- ship.

But the Itata mustbe short of conl and she will probably into some Mexican or Central American upply. This will delay ber and urleston may overtake her. 1t is weary work overhauling a steawmer iu such & long stern chase, however, and it is more likely that the Baltimore or Sun Frar ciseonow in Chillan waters will have the aufy of capturing the Itata. 1f sbe reaches the protection of the insurgents men-of-war, it will be the duty of Admiral McCann to taire her—poaceably if he can, forcibly if he mist. Hénee; in the words of Puatri Henry, ““The next gale that sweeps from the south may bring to our ears the clash of re- sounding arms.” Our new navy may be put to the test of rction at un early Guy The Tribune's Washington correspondent last night telegraphed his paper thue: It is rumored \.ere tonignt that R~ L. Trumbull the so-called delegate of the revolutionary Chiliun congress, was arrested today in San Fraucisce. The arrest, 1t is said. was or- derod at the iustance of the uuthorities here Jt is impossible to ascertain the truth of tnis fonight. Trumbull, it will be remembered, bonsted openly that he would look after the shipping of u cargo of arms and munitions of war for the insurgents. A Spanish. erican furnishes some inter- g facts in connection with Trumbull's “Trumbull, in the first place,” so this Spanish-American asserts, “is not the 800 but the nephew of the late missionary Rev.

WasHixeToN, May 8.—The policy of governwent with respect to the escaped Chilian vessel Itata is still an official secret. Secretary Tracy and other officials this morn- jug refusod 1o discuss the the matter at all There 1s no - doubt of the fact that the government is extremely anxious 1o exhibit ull possible zeal in the effort to recapture the vessel in order to avoid any unpleasaut consequences that might avise through the presentation of u claim for damages in behalf of the Chilian government. But naval officers are very skeptical of the ability of our ships to recap gure the Itata under the circumstauces at tending ber flight A San Francisco story this morning to the effect that Balmacedw's armed trausport Jmperinle was hovering off tne coast California 1o capture the Itata, is at the navy department to be wi tion, The navy department is still 1o find able seamen enough to mau our ships Nearly all the recruits that ¥..\e boen twkeu on, and yet thero arc uot FiiGugh to go around.

Mr. S. B, Huey was con- sulted by persons interested and connected with the trust company as to_the difiiculties they were inand be advised that the com- pany should muke an assignment. For this reason Mr, Josiab B. Adams was selected as the assignee und the assigument drawnu up. The capital of the trust company was £125,000. Francis W. Kennedy, president of the Spring Garden bauk, is president of the trust company. A. S, McClure is treasurer. It is said the suspension is due to the bank’s trou- bles. he articles of assignment were en- tered in the company’s office by Samuel B. Hu The feeling among the bank officers scems to bo that if the clearing house bad shown more leniency and bad not p d the bank for payment of its outstauding loau certifi cates the suspension would 1ot have boen necessary. An officer of the clearing house said today that the original indebtedness of the bank was #400,000 and that tbis has been gradually reduced to &25,000, at which point it had stood for some time. The official also declarca that the statement that the clearing house had pressed the bauk for pay- ment was erroncous, as it had been hoped that the bank would be able to straighten out its affairs. According to the statement of the bank made to the clearing bouse ou Monday last, its assets exceed its liabilities by #1.572,000 Among the items credited to its resource was 2,427,000 worth of loans and discounts. That these loans and discounts are not s gilt edged character is practically admitted by President Kennedy. Sumuel B, Huey, counsel for the bauk and the trust company, said this afternoon that the lat- ter's deposits amounted to $200,000. Of this sum 5,000 in cash was locked up in the vaults of the company and the balance was out ou loans and discounts, but how good he did not know. President Kennedy, his orother, H H. Kennedy, cashier of the bank, and Nelson F. Evans, a director, are said 10 be mterestea together in a number of ventures of a more or less speculative character that heve vot proved very successful.
