ATRAITOR EXECUTED,
Spanish Sailor on Board the Puritan Tried
to Blow up the Vessel

Spanish Sailor on Board the Puritan Tried
to Blow up the Vessel.
Key West, Fla, May News has
Just reached here that Jose Yglesias
was shot and killed on board the moni-
tor Puritan last evening for treason.
Yglesias was a Spaniard who had
been in the navy so long (seven years.
that his loyalty was considered as
sured. He was one of the most active
members of the crew of the Puritan,
and barring, an occasional eccentricity,
did his work faithfully.
Until the reduction of the forts at
Mantanzas by Admiral Sampson his
conduct was above suspicion, but his
family lives in Mantanzas and the
bombardment made him moody and
sullen.
He brooded over the danger he fan
cied his family was in, and on
Wednesday evening he stole to one of
the magazines and was trying to saw
the lock Off the door when he was
seen by one of the crew, who at once
gave the alarm.
Yglesias was caught at his work.
He had with him some cotton waste
and rockets, and sullenly admitted that
had intended to set fire to the waste
and take his chances on escaping by
jumping overheard before the explos-
ion. He was placed in irons and tried
by a drum-head court martial Friday.
There could be no doubt Of his guilt
on his own admission, and he was
promptly condemned to death. One
day was given him to prepare for
death, and at sunset last night he was
led out to die. A file of marines exc
cuted the sentence of the court. When
the volley roared Yglesias fell, riadled
with bullets. Death was instantan-
eous.
