About 5.30 las evening the Chilean steamer Itala, lifted ber anchor and quietly steamed out into the ocean, carrying with ber Deputy United States Marshal Spencer, who so far as is now known is still on board. The departure of the Itala was not unexpected, though il was not supposed she would leave as soon as she did.

The marshal's errand on his second sec-ond trip to the schooner Hubert and Minnie was to warn her that anywhere she might be found in open sea outside of Mexican jurisdiction she would be regarded as a piratical craft.

New Yokk, May 7. Charles R. Flint j bead of the South American shipping' house of Flint & Co., smiled when asked1 if it w as true that his firm and that of W. II. (irace & Co. were interested in! the prolonging of the Chilean revolt. "No," said Flint, "that story is not. true as far as our house is concerned tf We are not in it. I don't believe there is any foundation for belief that any commercial house is interested in prolonging pro-longing the revolution in Chile. It isi of course lotho interest of every house I having business with Chilean ports that the disturbance should be over as soon ae possible." ' "How about the shipment of arms I your house is said to have made?" , "I do not care to discuss my private ' affairs in the newspapers. If I have, made any such shipments it is a matterl of private business. The con- ' trtitutiouat government of Chilei is on friendly terms with the United States and it is perfectly in order fori any commercial bouse to make ship-, ments of any recognized constitutional by the government. Of course, if any vessel is to be sent out with arms for the insurgents. they not having been recognized as tieligerents, it would be in violation! of the new treaty lawa. Hut shipment, of arms to the constitutional government govern-ment is just as lawtul as the shipment' of provisions." ALL PEACE NEGOTIATIONS UNDID., Thltrn(glln Chll Mail b Fought to Kilter End. Vai.praiso, May 7. President Bal-, maceda rejected the demands of the delegates from the congressional or in-j urgent party, who have been trying to come to tome understanding with the president by which the civil war might be brought to a termination. Therefore a complete rupture exists in the peace negotiations, and it appears the struggle must be reuewed and fought out until one side or the other is utterly crushed. Balmaceda has given notice of the withdrawal of bank notes, the withdrawal with-drawal to take place at the rate of 10 per cent monthly. He also demands that all import duties be paid in silver.
