The information was contained in a dispatch from Admital McCann. The Itata arrived ar-rived from Tocopilla last night and was placed at the disposition ot Admiral McCann Mc-Cann this morning She had on board, the dispatch says 5,000 rifles;, also the ammunition taken from the schooner Robert and Minnie, eff the port of San Diego. She had no other munitions of war than those belonging to the ship, and had transferred nothing to the Esmeralda Es-meralda with whom she cuniuniaated off Acapulco, Mex. Admiral McCann says the crjiier Charlston arrived at Iquique to bay and the Pensacula was expected before night. The Itata will now be Jctit back to San Diego probably under con vot of a cruiser. She will be delivered to the United Slates court ollicialsat San Diego and proceedings against her will be resumed Secretary Tracy gave an Associated fress reporter the chain of circums an ces that led up to the Itata to-day. The secretary says that the desire for the surrender sur-render came horn the leaders of the insurgent in-surgent party at Iquque shortely after the vessel illegally escaped from thecmj t dy ol the marshal at San Diego. The government was informed by these leaders lead-ers that they disapproved of the action of th : vessel and made oflers through Admiral McCann to peacefullysurrender to the United States as soon as she arrived ar-rived in Chilian waters. These offers were communicated to the department at Washington and in due time accepted accept-ed by this government without, however implying any recognition on tne part of the United States of the insurgents as belligeients. As soon as the ofler was accepted a telegiam authorizing him to cease the chase was sent to Captain Remy, ol the Charleston, but the steam er had already sailed when the telegram reached Acnpulco. Secretary Traay said the Itata would be sent up toSau Diego, in Ihs wonla inter-mountain country, so a plan ii it being built upon.
