By Taking the Trousers of His Vic

SAN JOSE, Cal, Jan. Sc A. Brown
who arrived here yesterday afternoon by
private conveyance from Hollister, was
robbed this morning of all his money
$500. At the same time he was beaten
over the head with pistol and painfully
but not fatally hurt. The deed was done

crime was committed about o'clock at
a lodging house in the center of this city.
The robber walked down the stairs onto
the street, carrying the trousers of his
victim, and so far has successfully elud-
ed the police. Brown was asleep when
attacked. F. NJ. Owen and wife, who
claimed to have been playing at the
Santa Cruz Theater recently burned

MYTHICAL MILLIONS
An Old Spanish Grant Covering
Florida Lands

NEW YORK, Jan. SIN the Maspeth
section of Newton, Long Island, lives
Antonio Segui, who has a wife and three
children, who believe that he is the sole
heir to an estate in Florida, the value
of which is estimated at So, 900, 900. Segu
asserts that he is a descendant of the
Rev. Father Segui, Catholic priest
Father SeGui settled in Florida in the
early part of the present century, hav-
ing emigrated from Spain with seventy
other natives of the Balearic isles. Rec
ords which were shown yesterday testi-
fly to the fact that one Antonio Segui was
born at Mahon, in Minorca, in 1870, and
that he was ordained as a Catholic priest
in 1871. Nine years after the records
further show that young Segui embark
ed on vessel with a party of twenty
venturesome gold hunters and landed
at st. Augustine, Fla, where he estab-
lished church and mission. Segui said
last night:

DUTY ON SUGAR
Forces Germany to Ask For a Reel
procity Treaty

NEW YORK, Jan. S.-Germany has
indicated to the United States govern
ment her willingness to negotiate
treaty of reciprocity, says Washington
correspondent of the World. The Ger
man government has taken the initia-
tive in proposing a conference of repre-
sentatives of all the European powers
to secure the abolition of bounties on
sugar and other products.
When the Dingley bill was under dis
cussion, Baron Won Thielman, the Ger
man Ambassador, made an earnest effort
to have omitted from the bill the pro-
vision which imposes an additional duty
on all goods imported into the United
States upon which an export bounty has
been paid. The provision was intended
especially to cover sugar brought in
from Germany and other European
countries. The effect of this provision
has been to discourage the importa-
ton of German beet sugar into the
United States and it is believed in adj
ministration circles, it is largely upon
this account that the German govern
ment is seeking the abolition of all boun-
ties on common products. Besides Ger
many, France, Belgium, Austria, the
Netherlands. Denmark, Russia and
| Spain, pay bounties, most of them on
| beet sugar.
| 1t is said that Baron Won Holleben, the
new German Ambassador has called at
the State Department and discussed
tariff matters with Mr.. Kasson, the
special reciprocity commissioner 1t is
not likely any concessions will be given
on sugars or on anything until the Ber-
lin government removes the restrictions
on American beef and cattle.

THE BOILER BLEW UP
WRECKING THE VESSEL AND
KILLING THE CREW
Six Men Killed, Four Wounded and
Two Missing-Loss Quarter
of a Million

PITTSBURG, Pa, Jan. S.-The tow
boat Percy Kelsey, owned by X. H.
Brown Sons of this city, blew up while
going down the Ohio river near Glen
field, Pa, about II o'clock this morning,
and six or eight of the crew We're killed
and at least four of the others injured.
The boat was commanded by Captain
Leslie Jones of Shousetown, Pa, and the
crew was made up of two pilots, two en-
gineers, two mates, two firemen, cham
bermaid, cook and the deck hands, in
all about twelve persons.
The Kelsey left Pittsburg about s
o'clock this morning with tow consist
ing of seven barges and two flats of
coal and every thing was apparently all
right until the explosion took place,
when the boat was literally blown to
pieces and the tow scattered and lost.
The hull sank almost Immediately and
| the shattered portion of the upper
works f1oated down the river and COW
| cred the water in the vicinity of the
| wreck. The explosion was most terrific
| and was heard for miles. Hundreds of
| persons ran to the river upon hearing
the noise, and an awful sight met their
gaze. Bodies were floating down the
river and the debris was scattered far
| and wide, but no live person was seen.
A few minutes later Captain Jones and
three others were picked up alive but
badly injured and one body floated
ashore near Neville island The injured
were removed to Captain Crows resi-
dence on Neville island, where every
thing possible was done to alleviate their
sufferings. 1t is believed that the rest
of the crew were killed and parties are
now searching for their bodies.
The list of dead and injured as far as
known at 80 p. m. was: Killed
MILTON WOODS, pilot, Allegheny,
Pa, aged 10 years.
THOMAS FLINN, second engineer.
JOS. LALLEY second mate.
LEE WEBSTER, fireman.
LEE BECHTOLD, fireman.
Another fireman is still missing.
Injured-Leslie Jones, captain, badly
| burned and hurt about the body, con-
dition serious; P. Woods, apprentice,
will die; Walter Davis, fireman, serious;
Adolph Wendell, steward, serious.
| 1t is not known at present what caused
the explosion. The boats boilers were
recently tested and found to be in good
condition. The boat was considered one
of the best and staunchest on the river
1t was valued at s25O,0OO.
A dispatch from Glenf1eld says:
when the boat blew up Pilot Woods
was asleep in the pilot house, only a few
feet from Captain Jones. Others of the
crew We're also asleep. The pilot was
thrown high in the air and fell right
where a few minutes before the pilot
house was. He was dead when found
and a pitiable sight was his son, only a
few feet away, injured very badly. He
was pleading to help his father. Cap
tain Leslie Jones was injured by a bad
cut in the head and his back badly
sprained. The body of the fireman was
blown ashore near the scene of the ex-
plosion. Only three of the crew escaped
uninjured.

when he arrived in Florida, but in q
short time he became great friend Of
the Seminole Indians, as some Of my doc
uments prove.
THE Spanish government gave grant
of land which embraced fully 100000
| acres. This land on the old record books
is designated as the Segui grant, and is
now in the possession of persons who
assert that they are heirs to the original
grant of the Spanish crown.
Father Segui mysteriously disap-
peared from st. Augustine, but was To-
Gated In Havana in the latter part of
1900. He again disappeared and after
that time there is no record to show
whittier he went.
HE blessed a cross of pearls, which
he gave to one of his brothers, who ac-
companied him from the Balearic islands
to Florida and who returned to Spain
upon the disappearance of the priest.
This brother married and had a son,
who was my father. He died twenty-five
years ago and my mother was buried
the Flatbush cemetery eight years ago.
With the cross of pearls in her right
hand before she died she told me of
riches in store for me, but did not know
what she meant then, as had known lit
tie of the family history until 1 exam
ined some papers after her death.
MY attention to the .Segui property in
Florida was attracted by notice I saw
in newspaper forwarded to me from
Barcelona, asking for information of
the heirs of the deceased Father Segui.
Upon consulting the papers and rec
cords kept by my father l became con-
WINGED that I was the legal heir to the
property and called on the Spanish Con-
sui, to whom stated my case. The lat
ter promised to aid me and am inform
ed that he is now trying to establish my
ownership of the land. The Spanish Con-
sui wrote me few days ago that he had
every reason to believe my claim was
valid"

RAILROAD BONDS
Yavapai County Must Pay For a.
Abandoned Road

PHOENIX, Ariz., Jan. 8.-The suit of
Yavapai county against the Territorial
loan commission, involving the validity
of $219,000 of county bonds, was decided
for defendant by Judge Street in the
district court today. A temporary in
junction granted was dissolved, and the
acts of the commission were adjudged
fully valid. The bonds were issued in
aid of the construction of the Prescott
and Arizona Central railroad, a line
which later was abandoned, and which
today has not a foot Of track. 1t ran
from Seigman, on the Santa Fe-Pacific,
to Prescott, a distance of 70 miles. All
irregularity in the original territorial
act which in 1885 permitted the issuance
of the bonds was adjudged validated
by what is known as the Murphy act
passed by congress in 1896. The bonds

UNITED STATES SQUADRON
CHICAGO, Jan. S.-A special to the
Tribune from Washington, d. c., says:
There is no significance to the orders
sending the Concord and Helena to the
Asiatic squadron, both vessels having
been sent to take the place of the Ma
chias and Yorktown, which have been
ordered home. These orders were issued
last summer, but for various reasons
the vessels have been delayed until now,
when their services appear to be neces-
sary. Advices from Bermuda state that
the Helena left there bound for Fun
chal, December 30th. and the Concord
will probably leave San Francisco for
Yokohama, stopping at Honolulu to take
on coal. When the Concord and Helena
reach their destination the Asiatic
squadron will comprise, beside them.

ton. Monocacy and Petrol. These YES
sells have orders to cruise on the coast of
