A Second Libel Snit Against tha Steamer
Dismissed.
Los Angeles, Cal., Sept; 23. United
States Attorney Cole, acting under in
structions from Washington, has dis
missed the second libel against the Itata.
Mr. Cole states that the action taken by
him was in entire accord with the gov
ernment's handling of the case. The
district attorney has the right to insti
tute proceedings for a violation of the
laws of the United States, especially the
cases of emergency subject to the con
trol of the law department at Washing
ton He telegraphed the attorney-gen
eral asking his news, and receiving the
reply on Saturday, deemed it advisable
to file a libel. The marshal went to San
Diego on Sunday with the process in his
pocket to await instructions from here
and Washington. He afterwards re
ceived instructions not to serve the
process, and did not. Mr. Cole believes
it to be the law that a vessel escaping
from the United States is liable for the
expense of bringing her back.
