TRAITOR IS SHOT.
Volley Fired by Squad of Marines
Ends a Spaniards

Key West, Fla, May 2.-News has
just reached here that Jose Yglesias was
executed on board the monitor Puritan
last evening for treason.
Yglesias was Spaniard, who had been
in the navy so long (seven years. that his
loyalty was considered assured. He was
one Of the most active members of the
crew Of the Puritan, and, barring an oc-
casional eccentricity, did his work faith
fully.
Until the reduction of the forts at Ma
tanzas, by Admiral Sampson, his conduct
was above suspicion, but his family lived
in Matanzas and the bOmbardment made
him moody and sullen. He broOded over
the danger he fancied his family was i'll,
and 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 he had
intended to set fire to the waste and take
his chances on escaping by jumping over
board before the explosion. He was
placed in irons and tried by drumhead
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 Saturday night he
was led out to die 4 file of marines ex-
ecuted the sentence Of the court When
the volley roared Yglesias fell, riddled
with bullets. Death was instantaneous.

A Timely Fable.

tie tale which should be kept in mind in
these days when war is in the air. Two
knights coming from different directions
stopped in sight of a trophy shield one
side of which was gold and the other
silver. Like the disputants about the
color of the chameleon, the knights dis
puted about the metal Of the shield, and
third knight came up at this juncture,
to whom the point of dispute was referred,
and the disputants were informed that the
shield was silver on one side and gold
on the other" There is a fine moral for
the jingoes in this little story-if they
choose to find it.
