America.

The Chilian rebel steamer Itate, which was seized by the United States Government while loading arms in San Diego, in Lower California, has sailed away with the American marshal on board and landed him on the coast. The United States cruiser Charleston and other cruisers from San Francisco have been ordered in pursuit of the steamer ior breach of the neutrality laws, and the Admiral at Valparaiso has been instructed to intercept her on arrival in Chilian waters. It is reported that the Itata is being escorted by the Chilian rebel cruiser Esmeralda. Owing to dissensions among the managers it is stated that the Chicago World's fair is likely to be abandoned. Infoi mation has been received that a revolution has also broken out in the San Salvador Central American Eepnblic. President Balmaceda's faction is inviting meditation with a view to ending the insurrection. He refuses the terms proposed by the insurgents. The French Government has taken measures to prevent the departure of newly built Chilian ironclads. An attempt was made to assassinate the members of the Chilian Cabinet with a bomb, but it did not succeed. The grand jury of Louisiana ignored the Italian Consul's report on the personal history of the men who were lynched, and the Consul intends to send it to Borne. It is expected serious complications will arise in consequence of the refusal of the grand jury to indict the lynchers or take notice of the report.
