THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, TUESDAY, MAY 24, 1898 ARSHIPS | SEVERELY Four Ameri Shocked by an Un- known While Far Out at Sea They Are )Jarred From in a Peculiar Manner. Copyrighted, 188, by James Gordon Bennett. KEY WEST, May 23.—Four Ameri- can ships, lying in a bunch, twenty-five miles from land, yesterday afternoon between 2 and 3 o'clock were shaken from stern to stem by a mighty explo- sion, so mysterious that an earthquake is the only explanation. Of course, the sailors were thrown from their feet, and every man on every ship thought an explosion had taken place directly under him. I am not at liberty to mention the names of the ships nor the location in which they were when the phenomenom occurred. News of it was brought by one of the ships which arrived at Key West this noon to take o~ coal. The sea at the time of the mysterious occurrence was as calm as a tropical sky overhead. Omne of the ships that felt it was steaming in one direction and sighted the three others. They ap- proached, and as they came within speaking distance all the engines were stopped and an exchange of greeting was begun. Suddenly came a report that sho the heavens and knocked flat every man on deck. As soon as the officers and men had regair their feet those on the ships quickly gave their attention to the ot leet, expecting that . ible cala. rom one ship came on aboard 3 v the same instant commanding officer, assured his own ship was intact, made this same In- quiry of his neighbors. Men were sent below on each ship as soon as matters became slightly composed, to make an examination of the magazines and bottoms. Not a thing on any ship was er ships of the eyes would as every SHAKEN can Vessels Force. Stem to Stern | out of place, and not as much as a| cartridge on one of them had been ex ploded. The first thought among the officers was that the magazine had exploded, | and especial attention was directed | toward one of the vessels, which was | known to have a large quantity of | | dynamite on board. When it became | | certain no such accident had hap- | | pened, thoughts turned to a Spanish | mine. But the distance from land was | | so great as to preclude the possibility | of any such agent, while there was not | a craft of any description in sight ex- | cept those in the group of Amerluani vessels. | The surface of the water had not | been disturbed in the slightest degree | by the occurrence. The water was as | calm a second after the defined report | as it was before. I saw the captain of a ship that returned to Key West, and he said the explosion, or whatever it | was, was something that no theory could account for. It might have been an earthquake, he said, although an earthquake would naturally disturb the surface of the water to a consid- erable degree. It would have threwn | a column of water into the air. All the captain could say was that not a particle of damage was done to any ship and that nobody could say what | had happened. The most peculiar feature of the oc- | currence was that every man thought the explosion had been just beneath | where he was standing at’the time. On | one ship two jackies, one of whom was lying on an engine hatchway and the | other standing on the forecastle, had | a dispute about it, each declaring the | explosion had been directly under him. Then, on the other vessels, shouting | back and forth comments of the mys- terious event, all declared the force came from directly below them. The sound was a single deafening detona- tion, and not a rumble, FALL HEIR T0 ARIZONA LAND Fortunes for Two San Franciscans. RICHES FROM THE DEAD. MICHAEL WORMSER ESTATE TO BE DIVIDED. Eight Pérsons to Share Property in Phoenix and Vicinity, Val- ued at a Half-Million Dollars. Spectal Dispatch to The Call. TACOMA, May 2 the Jacob mily in Tacoma have been notified that they and three otheq heirs living in the East will have divided among them an es- tate valued at $500,000, left by Michael Wormser at Phoenix, Ariz. The Pa- cific Coast heirs are Michael Jacob, traveling agent for Carroll' & Carroll, wholesale liquor dealers, and Sarah Jacob, both of San Francisco; Joseph and Meyer Jacob and Miss Florestine Jacob of Tacoma. Charles Goldman of Phoenix has been the administrator of the. Wormser estate, and Joseph Jacob will leave this week for Phoenix to as- sist him in managing it. Wormser died intestate, and under the laws of Arizona the proceeds of his estate will be shared equally by the eight heirs. Wormser had never mar- ried and was 89 years old when he died three weeks ago. He had remarkable success, becoming one of the richest men of Arizona through the cultivation of an immense irrigated farm. Golng to Phoenix in 1875 he gradually increased his holdings until he owned 9000 acres lying south of Salt River. He tapped this river with an irrigation canal twelve miles long, known locally as San Francisco ditch, which watered his ranch. He raised wheat, sugarcane and fruit, but laid the basis of his for- tune by selling wheat at 5 cents a pound in early days, before Arizona was traversed by railroads. He em- ployed between 300 and 400 men. Re- cently his ranch was bonded to Eastern men for $360.000. If the purchase is con- sumated this sum will be distributed among the heirs at once. He owned a large interest in the Tempe canal, (ne or the largest irrigation projects in Ari- zona, and several years ago brougnt about its enlargement from thirteea to fifteen feet in width. He owned prop- erty at Phoenix and Prescott. Meyer and Joseph Jacob, now en- gaged In the shoe business here, for- merely resided in San Francisco. NO CLEARANCE PAPERS FOR MANILA. WASHINGTON, May 23.—Secretary Gage to-day issued an order to cus- toms officers notifying them that the port of Manila, Philippine Islands, is blockaded by the United States fleet under Admiral Dewey and therefore clearance will not be granted to mer- chant vessels for that port. The in- structions also warn owners and mas- ters of vessels that in undertaking voy- ages to Spanish. por‘s not now block- aded they run risk of interruption by {;ltux‘e blockades and military opera- ons. —Five members of n Francf » and e —— Hardtmuth's “Koh-I-Noor” lead pen- cll will outlast three others.

PRESIDENT HAS AUTHORITY TO SO DECREE. | Precedents in the Mexican Wnr\ Which Give Naval and Mili- tary Authorities Power to Act. Call Office, Riggs House, Washington, May 23. | In anticipation of the early occupa- | tion of the Philippine Islands by the | military and naval forces of the United | States, the Treasury Department has | already begun the formulation of regu- | lations and a scheme of customs tariffs which will be collected by the military authorities and turned into the treas- ury of the United States as a “military | contribution.” That the President has | authority to collect the Philippine rev- enues under existing circumstances is | not a matter of doubt. It was several times done during the last war with Mexico, and the authority of the Gov- ernment in the premises was sustained by decisions of the United States Su- | preme Court. | The court, in a case which grew out of the capture and occupation of San | Francisco and all the upper part of the | State of California by the United | States troops, held that the President, under the constitution, as commander- | in-chief of the army and navy, had a | right to exercise the belligerent right of | a conqueror and to gmpose duties on | imports as a military contribution for | the support of the army. This was! the view held by the court in another | case, where it was atso decided the | capture of Tampico, Mexico, by the| United States forces, though sufficient | to cause it to be regarded by other na- tions as part of our territory, did not make it in fact a part of the United | States under our constitution and laws. “It remained,” said the court, “a foi eign country within the revenue laws of the United States.” The tariff rates now being prepared by the Treasury Department will ciose- ly follow the Spanish customs laws in force in the Philippines. Just what revenues they produce is mot known, but the assumption is that inasmuch as the home Government realized from them last year approximately nine mil- | lion doilars, the actual amount collected | was $13,000,000. The Government will assume control of the revenues as soon as the principal seaports are in our possession, and will continue to control them, at least until Congress takes spe- | cific action in the case or until peacs lfis been declared by the two coun- tries. Ordered to Watch Ceal Ships. VANCOUVER, B. C., May 23.—The local shipping registrar has received a notice from Ottawa, pointing out that an attempt may be made by agents of Spain or the United States to purchase Canadian coai-laden ships and send them to sea for war purposes. The of- ficers must, therefore, report any such suspicious movements and changes in the registered ownership of any vessels. This Is following the English pract | held.

If a Price Cannot Be Agreed Upon the Monopoly is Ready to Resort to Arbi- tration, Spectal Dispatch to The Call. L.OS ANGELES, May 23.—At last the Los Angeles City Water Company has made a fair and open statement to the City Council as to what it will do in the matter of releasing its improvements to the city’s water distributing plant pre- paratory to municipal operation. The communication is a lengthy one, and contains many points which have never before been admitted by the water company. It is specific in the facts set forth. The communication opens with a de- claration of the entire willingness to sell to the city. Then follows a twelve- page typewritten description of the water company’s franchise, easements, rights of way and titles to lands, reser- voir sites, ete. The communication says: Properties claimed by the Crystal Springs Land and Water Company, in- cluding developed water, we do not claim are included within the groperty which the city is to purchase and pay for under the contract of July 22, 1868. The conclusion is as follows: ‘We have kept before the Council all the time the fact that, without regard to what is or is not included in the con- tract of July 22, 1868, we are ready and willing to sell the whole property of all the companies to the city, if the city intends to carry out its plan of municipal | ownership of the water system; that the whole property of all of the companies will be available to the city, no matter what plans it may have in view. If the ultimately acquires lands above the al Springs tract and conducts it into headwaters we believe that. it is known to all that it will not obtain all the water moving In that section of the country, which we have designated as San Fernando Basin. If the estimates made by engineers on behalf of the city in the various triais which we have had, should prove correct, the city will not obtain at that point a sufficient supply of water to meet the demands existing at this moment. The developments made by the Crystal Springs Land and Water > and fts conduits and _system would be needed by the city, and could be utilized from the beginning and at all times. These properties taken all together are, of course,of greater value to anybody than the various parts would be separated from one another, and, we hink, would be of greater value to the city, if it finally decides upon municipal omership, than it would be to anybody else. We would suggest, finally, that we should make an effort to agree upon a price to be pald for whatever of this property the ¢ity chooses to take, whether it be that which is included in’ the Los Angeles City Water Company’s contracts or the whole. If we can agree upon a price the companies, or either of them, will agree to accept that price and the city can proceed to raise the money to make the purchase. Attention is called to the fact that the matter is one involving an expense that is beyond the annual revenue of the city. By law, therefore, the city could not enter into a binding agree- ment for the purc _ase of improvements and properties until a bond election is The company say: Any scheme which the city has in view of municipal ownership will require a v greater sum of money than it will ¥ our entire plant at the valuation that we ourselves would fix upon it and be willing to take. We think, therefore, it would be proper for the city to be looking to the question of taking steps to provide for payment. Attention is called to the difficulties of a legal bond issue in this State. We say, finally, that we are prepared to furnish you with all information and data that are within our reach, and agree with you on a price when you are ready to make the payment or meet the award of arbitrators; that we will, if we cannot agree on a orice. arbitraté the matter with you in ihe manner provided by the contract; that if the cify desires we will sell the 'whole property of all the com- panies, If we can agree upon a price. The communication created a sensa- It was entirely unexpected. At the afternoon session it was referred to the Council committee on water supply. MERRITT AND HIS STAFF ARE COMING. CHICAGO, May 23.—Major General | Wesley Merritt was in Chicago to-day on his way to the Philippine Islands. He came direct from Washington, and went to his old quarters at the Audito- rium Hotel.
