The Itata and the Charleston Will latoh Acapuloo About tha Same Tim Landing Not PtrmltUd. San Fkancisco, May 12. Rieftr do Trumbull, member of the Chilian congress and partisan of tlie insurgent party, was arrested last night by the United States marshal lor violating the neutral ity laws, in connection with the shipment of arms and o of war on the schooner Robert and Minnie and ou the steamer ItatM. His bail was fixed at $15,000 and was furnished with John and Adolph Spreckela as sureties. Trumbull was arrested on board the Oakland ferry-boat, and was on his wav to v ashington to confer. it is reported, with the Chilian consul. He was at once taken te United States Marshal Long's office in this city and made acquainted with the charges against him. After the release oe stated he had expected to be ar rested, but had made no attempt at concealment. City or Mexico, May 12. The Chilian steamer Itata is sailing under aihiculty and the United States war ship is gaining on her It is expected the two will reach Acapulco within a few hours f each other. Foreign Minister Mariscale sata all the necessary steps will be taken so that when the itata reaches any Mexican port she will not he allowed to land. Ine gol em merit, the minister says, ib r- solved to observe strictly its otui gations with Chili and not harbor the insurgents. San r ranoisco, May 12. It n uo w stated that the schooner Kob- rt and Minnie is not the only vessel that was chartered to conrey arms and ammunition to the Chilian insurgents, but that tk other vessels chartered are now unwilling to ship the contraband goods, and have put into Oakland creek on the other side of San Francisco bay, until it is demon strated whether the cargoes could safely be taken out of the United Mates. J tie district attorney baa definitely ascertained the roads over which the large quantity of guns and ammunition, which tonne I the cargo of the liobeit andMinnie.came into the state and it is claimed the federal author ities will endeavor to compel the railway officials to disclose the quantity delivered and those now known to be on the road. It is further stated that a few days before the cartridges were bought in the -east, the Chilian agent called at the office of the local agent of the United States Cart ridge company, and made inauirias as to the ability to procure three million cartridges of forty three calibre inside of three weeks. The district attorney has had a consul tation with the Chilian consul and steps will be taken to sieze the guns and ammunition understood to be on the way from the east. DIFFERENT PHASE t PON THE SUBJBCT Washington, May 12.

If this recognition should take a formal shape it might have important re sults lor tlie insurgents, for under the neutrality laws their vessels would find an asylum in the Mexi can ports.

The examiners have questioned the bills sent in by the supreme court for the late trip to Los Angeles, i ne bills nave neen cut down by the examiners from fifty centa to two dollars.

In further proof that there must be some safeguard in such matters, Mr. Waite said that a few weeks ago a state official had charged for three uecsi oi playing carus ana poker chips.

Two Men Living- Together Found to be Brothers. Thirty or forty years ago two boys were born of slave mother in the city of New Olreans. They grew and prospered as other boys of their kind did until the breaking out of the war, when both gained their liberty and entered the ser vice of the Union one as a sailor and the other in the infantry.

Recently the brother, Eugene Lewis, also came to New port and, strange to say, hired a tenement in the house of his long lost and unknown brother. The t so went in and out of the same door for months, until on day a neighbor suggested to Lewis that Mitchell was also born in New Orleans, and that the two ought to become better acquainted. Lewis saw no reason in that fact why lie should trouble him self, as New Orleans is a big place, and many children besides nm self were born there. However one day he did speak to Mitchell and mentioned the incident of the same place of nativity. Each asked the other if he knew certain people there, and when the names of the master and mother were mentioned the kinship w as discov ered. Lewis told his brother of their mother.
