SAN DIEGO, Cal, July 9.-The penalty
of $500, which the treasury department
has demanded of the steamer Itata for
leaving port without clearance papers
has not been paid yet, but will probably
he paid soon. Marshal Gard reseized the
ltata yesterday and placed an officer in
charge. This act was necessary in con-
nection with libel proceedings commenced
by the United States district attorney.
1t is now understood here that attor
neys had advised Captains Mauzeen and
Tcjcda to pay the fine at once, get the
vessel released from the custody of the
customs officers and. before Marshal
Gard could reseize the ltata, to get out
Of the San Diego harbor as quickly as
stern would carry her. Upon receiving
this advice it is reported that Manzeen
returned from Los Angeles and telc-
graphcd to Tcjcda, who returned at noon
yesterday. In the mean time Manzecn
and the other officers OF the ltata had re-
turned to the vessel. None of the crew
had been allowed ashore.
At 1890 in the morning, however,
Marshal Gard and a deputy stepped
aboard the ltata and seized the vessel
tor violation of the neutrality laws and
carrying of United States ofhcera.
Mauzcen is said to have been crcstfal-
len upon the appearance of the marshal,
and awaited Tejeda. who FASTENED to
The ship Immediately upon the arrival of
the train and held consultation with
Mauzeen. No further steps were taken in
regard to leaving the harbor. Had the
ltata got away before the reseizure much
delay would probably have resulted be-
fore the Charleston could get under way
to chase her again and by that time the
ltata could possibly have escaped.
PARIS, Iuy 9.-The court of appeals

The court in annulling the decree holds
that the vessels were ordered BY the gov

a Concord Man Of Most Peculiar
habits Passes AWAY and Leaves
EEis Records ON the Ceilings of
His House.
From the Concord Standard.
The will Of Mr.. Billy Bost was pro-
bated on Monday. Mr.. Allen Bost, OF
Flowe's Store, is the executor.
1t has been believed by many that Mr..
Bost was quite wealthy, and that much
of it was in money. Since his death
search was instituted, and up to this
writing over $4,000 has been found,
and it was all in gold, except a little
silver. 1t was stored around in cracks,
under boxes, behind the clock, and in
nearly every nook and corner of the
house. 1t was in shot bags, generally
though sometimes found tied in rags.
His most intimate friend did not be
lieve that he had that much around his
premises.
Mr.. Bost deposited none in banks, be.
lieving its safety guaranteed in his own
possession. He had safe, but in it only
one piece was found, and it three-cent
piece with a hole in it.
The Standard man saw the executor

gold coin, and all that one man could
well carry.
The wealth was in gold for two rca
sons: to be in a measure freproof and bs
always good and lawful currency, worth

That robbery has never been attempted

WATER FOR ROYALTY.
Queen victOria's banquet Hall
Flooded.

FlOOue0s
LONDON, July 9.-It did not become
generally known until yesterday morning
that there was most strange and ex-
citing scene at the royal banquet given
at Windsor Castle in honor of the
Queens imperial grandson. A large
water pipe burst in the banquet hall
while the Queen was entertaining the
Emperor and party Of distinguished
guests, a majority of whom were mem-
bers of the royal and imperial families.
The result was that the hall was almost
flooded with water.
The combined efforts of the Queens
attendants and Of the Castle servants
were powerless to check the flow oi
water from the broken pipe and it was
found necessary to summon the fire bri-
gade, who eventually succeeded in turn
ing the water of. Some time elapsed
before order was restored and before the
Queens guests were able to resume their
seats at the table and manage to con
tinue the banquet in the much dampened
hall.
