The Grcas Campaiwn OF wilma.

The Great Campaign of wind.
Keep your eye square on one PROPOSE
lion, and that is that the biggest game of |
bluff and wind ever recorded on the |
American continent is now on the tapis, |
with Lower California as the objective
point. From the desperation of it's efforts
we should judge that the International
Company is on its last legs, and that it is
making the sporadic struggles that pre-
cede confessed bankruptcy. Only the
most pressing necessities could have
justified the colossal lying that has char
acterized every stage of the monumental
Santa Clara placer mining "fake." Bulb
GUS lies, expanded until there was no
posi- ibility of a soap bubble rivaling them
either in unsubetantiality or color, have
proceeded from the Lower Calitor-
MIA line for weeks past, Even Con-
gressional promoter cannot give form or
verify to efforts to interest the
government in the acquisition of
valueless region. That there are
journals even in San Diego which
decline to be parties to a Jeremy
Diddler programme, is shown by the fol-
lowing, which we take from the San
Diego Sun:
If the New York Sun had known more
of the ins and outs OF Southern California
| journalism it would have been on the
! lookout for Clemens and his flaming
specials, and rejected the bogus news
upon which it bases the following COM
ment:
1t appears that the flibusters have formed a
secret organization, which has military
branch with over 1000 members, and that
their design is to invade the peninsula Of Lower
California and forcibly seize that isolated State
of the Mexican republic Trouble is brewing
| according to our correspon dent, who has been
Watching the maneuvers of the flibusteIs for
We cannot permit it to brew any longer. II
l must be brought to an end at once. Our Gov
| eminent is bound to adopt and enforce per.
emptory measures for the maintenance of the
peace and we have no doubt that the neces.
sary orders will be issued to the commander OF
the troops on the Pacific coast sufficient
military force to restrain the flibusters can be
speedily sent to proper points along the boun.
projected invasion of which our Los Angeles
correspondent has sent us news, will be averted
The Mexican Government may not be pre-
, pared to defend the peninsula against even Q
| small body of invaders; but we are not on thai
account, the less bound to maintain our treaty
engagements with Il; Lower OalifoInia t is :
its seizure would be stealing. 1t has valuable
| position and rich mines, but we have no righ
to them without purchase. we ought to hsvt have
the Mexican war, when we aeQuired anothe
large slice of Mexican territory; but the nego
tietions to that end were changed with our con
| sent.
they attempt an invasion, they will be driver
back by the United States army and punished
in accordance with law.
| No flibusteringl
If the Sun does not pull some OF the
! feathers from the tail of its credulity an6
"stick them in the wings of its judg
, ment," it will become laughing stock
There is no filibustering scheme on foot
nor has there been. 1t is doubtful j
) there ever will be, so far as an OBJECTIVE
point in Lower California is concerned
, The country is valuable enough to temp
! the uneasy spirits Of this coast, but i
cannot be successfully invaded without
basis of supply somewhere in the United
States; and it goes without saying tha
such q basis would not be provided 81
i. long as American troops are at hand h
: preserve neutrality. Perhaps the SUI
does not know that Filibuster Wake
captured" the Peninsula once and wa
obliged to hurry out of it with all posi-
. BILE dispatch to make sure of sQuar
: meal.
e The celebrated "Coloneln J. X. Mul
: key, whose correct name is probabl
t Mulcahey, from his Milesian faculty c
t romancing, is at present in San Diego
! on his way to Lower California. Colone
J Mulcahey is the leader of the army @
) myths who are abodt to invade the lam
, of nothing to eat and nothing to wear
, OF him the New York World lately said
l editorislly:
A sensation-monger, who happens b
} be located in California at this time, i
vexing the press with marvellous stor.
of a filibustering conspiracy upon tn
part of certain Americans to seize Lowe
California and found a dynasty. Thi
> silly story was rejected by The World tw'
r months ago. but we notice that it is beini
foisted upon the suffering public through
channels which ought to be more intel
ligently guarded.
QUITE number of old Les Angelefio
were at the depot last night to biz
good-by to DR.. Joseph Kurtz and hi
family, who started on protracted visi
to Europe. DR.. Kurtz has lived nearly
quarter of a century in this city. and ha
always been a leading and respected
citizen. He has filed the position o
President of the Beard of Education
! number of terms, and has always beer
conspicuous in his efforts to advance tht
interests of our public schools. As {
member of the medical profession ht
has always stood among the foremost
and in all matters pertaining to th,
progress of our city and section he hal
been most liberal and public-spiriteG
promoter. 1t is the wish of the HERAL1
that the Doctor may enjoy his well-earnet
, vacation and have most pleasant trip
A NOTABLE arrival in New York harbol
yesterday was Mr.. Bush's crack schooner
