WASHINGTON, May B.—The es cape of the Chilian vessel Etata from San Diego, Cal., while in cus tody of the United States marshal has agitated the treasury officials not a little. Numerous dispatches have been received at the depart ment relating to the manner in which the ship took French leave of her captors, and Secretary Foster is being kept thoroughly informed of her movements. The secretary de clines to discuss the matter, con tenting himself with the intimation that it is now out of the jurisdiction ! of liis office- THIi CHARLESTON ORDERED TO GIVE CHASE. It was reported late in the after noon that orders had Leen issued by the navy department for the Charles ton to give chase. Owing to the! wonderful speed of this vessel it is believed that she can overtake the ' fugitive in a comparatively short ! time. There is no disposition in Wash ington to let the Etata reach the 1 port for which she is bound with her j cargo of arms. The San Francisco j is now in Chilian waters, and even I though the Etata should elude the Charleston communication, it is stated, can be had with the com mander of the San Francisco in time for that ship to seize her. TO HKIZE HER WHEREVER FOUND. The matter has passed out of the bands of Secretary Foster and At torney General Miller into the hands of Secretary Tracy, who has in structed Rear Admiral Brown, com manding the Pacific station, to seize the Etata wherever found ; and genera' instructions to this effect will be sent to ail officers command ing United States men-of-war on the Pacific station. The United States government lakes the position that the Etata, in leaving the United States while in the custody of the United States marshal, subjects her self to seizure at any time or place. The :nar»bal Heard t'roui. SAN DIEGO, Cal., May B.—Spen cer, the deputy marshal on board the Etata when she left port, has returned to the city. lie was put off the vessel at Ballast Point and immediately returned here. It was the general expectation here that the Etata would slip away at the first chance, but the oppor tunity presented itself sooner than was looked for. Late in the after noon the rumor got around that she was preparing to leave the harbor, and the absence of any crew from the streets added weight to the story. At 5 o'clock the captain's gig which had been lying at the loot of II street, pulled off for the vessel with six men aboard, and as soon as the boat was hoisted to the deck the Etata weighed her anchor and steamed down the stream. SHE WAS WELL ARMED. Another deputy marshal who had been placed on a small boat at the entrance to the harbor to watch for developments reported that when the Etata started out Pilot Dill was sandwiched between two armed Chilians while four cannon guard ed both bow and stern. He reports that at least eighty Chilians were drawn up in line on the decks, show ing that while the vessel was in port she was plentifully supplied with men, arms and ammunition. While here she displayed only one small cannon and a ciew of about sixty men. PURSUIT OF THE ROBERT AND EMMA. The most surprised party of all was Marshal Gard himself. In fact ( so 1 ttle did he dream of any such thing that he left for Point Loma in the launch Tia Juana just one hour ahead of tlio big steamer and had passed the point and proceeded 1 some distance out to sea before lie could h:ive been aware that the E'aK was following him. The pursuit ot the Robert and Minnie wis by instructions from Washington that he had au'hority to take the Robert and Minnie on tbe high s»'as under neutrality and piracy laws. Marshal Gard and party left tor Coionado Islands, where the Robert and Minnie was last Peen on Tuesday. Just outside a sail appeared, which the tug made for. As soon as her master saw the Tia Juana he put about and rati south in order, it was supposed, to get into Mexican waters before he was overhauled. The meeting place of the schooner and tug was two and a half miles south of the inter national lines, about fifteen miles southwest of Point Loma. ESCAPED TO MEXICAN WATERS. The Tia Juana passing to wind ward of the other vessel, Marshal Gard and his companions had an excellent chance of closely observing her. On her stern were the words "Robert and Minnie, San Francisco." The schooner was so heavily laden that she made but slow progress. There were but four of her crew visible, and these watched the move ments of the tug through a glass. The schooner being in Mexican waters Marshal Gard returned to poitto telegraph for instruction. There has never been any doubt in the minds of well informed per sons here that the ammunition which the Robert and Minnie carried was intended for the Chilian transport and that it would be transferred to the hold of the Etata for uso by the insurgents as soon as the big steam er obtained what supplies she need ed in port. It is known that com munications passed between Captain For rail, of the schooner, and Cap tain Mauzeum, of the Etata, both while the Robert and Minnie was at Catalina and since her arrival off this harbor. The Chilians laid their plans well, and they were carried out to the letter, regardless of the interference of the United States. THE IMPERIALE MAY HAVE HER. It is said that the steamer seen hovering around the entrance to San Diego was the armed transport Imperials, now in'possession of the CLiiliaus government. She left Valparaiso to intercept the Etata on her return voyage to Iquique. The lmperialeisa vessel of 2,300 tons and is said to be capable of steam ing sixteen miles per hours. If this is true the Etata has oniy jumped out of the frying pau into the tire, for she will be captured by the Im periale. ENGLAND TO BLAME. Senor Cassunova, former Chilian consul, said : "It will be found that British money is the mainstay of insurgents against our government. The British want to obtain control of the nitrate deposits, and Presi dent Balmaceda wishes them to be worked for the benefit of the Chilian government." WILKER-BARBE, May 11.—Elias Young of Fishing Creek, who has been in prisou here lor the past two months charged with the killing of Lieutenant Robinson, twenty seven years ago, was released this after noon on $ 10,000 bail, lor appear ance at court for trial.
