There is such thing as enter
prise; there is such thing as theft.
In its anxiety to achieve enterprise
the Examiner has drifted naturally
into theft. 1t has even imported
from New York man trained under
Hearst to blk the public. The i'm
portation has his confidence game
in full and noisy blast, but suckers
are few. Soapy Smith worked the
town while on his way to the Klon-
dixie. The Hearstlings, scattering
their bogus "extras" about, will de-
ceive nobody but their employer.
They will swear the "extras" into
their circulation, and he will believe
them, being what is known as a
"good thing" But as to fooling the
people, they have reached the limit,
Yesterday the Examiner announced
that il during the day there had
been an important naval engage
ment rockets would be fred from its
building. There was no important
naval engagement, but the rockets
were fired. Cannot the police, head
ed by that valiant foe OF crime,
Captain Lees, reach these bunko
men?

COMING TO FIGHT.

A British Captain Reports the cadiz
Fleet is on the Way to America.
ST. JoHN's IN, FL, April 29.-The
British cargo steamer Wansbeck ar
rived here to-day from Cadiz. Cap
tain Jones reports that when he left
there on April 18th, the Spaniards
were busily engaged in fitting out a
fleet, the destination of which is the
American coast.
Captain Jones says that it is the
intention of this Spanish feet to
shell cities on the coast and by this
means compel the United States
Government to abandon Cuba in
order to protect her own seaport
cities.
The Captain of the Wansbsck
says that the Spanish feet should
make its appearance of New York
or Boston within the next ten days
and that powerful force will be re-
quired to repel it..
Captain Jones also reports that
the Spanish Government is meeting
with no difficulty in securing men
for the vessels and that wealthy
Spaniards were subscribing large
sums to assist in the proper and
speedy equipment of the squadron.

AS to Indecent Journalism.

The Examiner has long been in
decent. Only of late has it become
30 proud of its infamy as to call at
tention to it by rocket and bomb.
Only since the war with Spain has
it employed band to play its
Rogue's March to the nickel of the
incredulous.
1t is with no feeling Of envy The
Call declares the Examiner dis
grace to the profession of journal
ism. No such feeling would be pos
sible, for this paper has every iacil-
ity for receiving and presenting
news from the front But The Call
takes pride in printing the truth,
and when it prints rumors will label
them as such and let them go for
what they may be worth. 1t is not
always possible at this distance from
the scene of conflict to weigh each
word. 1t is possible to distinguish
between the palpable fake and the
actual news.
The Examiner yesterday publish
ed series OF things it was pleased
to term "extras." Aside from the
information contained in regular
editions of all morning papers, these
"extras" declared that the Iowa had
been fred on from Moro Castle.
The information was false, and the
Examiner was aware Of the fact. 1t
said in largo type that the Paris had
been captured, 1t said this know
ing it to be a lie. 1t declared the
American flag to be flying over Ha-
wall. This was fiction, based on
nothing. 1t set forth the capture OF
the "Bilbao," meaning the Pedro,
the circumstance having already
been detailed. 1t announced the
taking Of the Shenandoah-a mere
rumor which had been made again
and again, and each time denied.

DAY SHEDS LIGHT.

His Reply to the Protest Of Austria
and France as to the lombard
ment of Matanzas.
WASHINGTON, April 20. The State
Department to-day replied to the
protest Of the French and Austrian
Consuls at Matanzas against the
bombardment and Smelling Of that
town on the ground that no noti6ca-
ton was given of the intended bonn
bardment. The reply was to this
effect: The laws of international
warfare were not violated by this
bombardmsnt. The vessels engaged
were first attacked by the shore
batteries. The town was not shelled,
The French and Autrian Consuls
based their protest on the rule of
international law which requires the
commander OF bombarding fleet
to first serve notice that the garrison
must surrender. In case this request
is not complied with, six hours
notice of the intended lombard
ment must be given. The Navy De-
partment was in a position to notify
the State Department that Admiral
Sampson had reported that he had
been fred on first and at such close
range that the silencing of the bat
teries was the only answer possible
or honorable under the circum-
stances.

TERRIFIC HEAT.
Enormous Damage Results from
lfirrS.

Fires.
Vancouver, B. c., January 31.-The
| steamer Warrimo, just arrived from Aus
| traia, brings news of appalling climatic
conditions which have been prevailing in
many sections OF Australia. The prostra-
tions from heat were so numerous that the
condition of affairs in large cities was
alarming. In great many Instances work
is out of the question and sleep impossible,
while in the evening the inhabitants gather
on the streets and sit on the curb stones
drinking the comparatively cool night air.
The same condition prevails all over the
colonies. The Thermometer during the heat
of the day averages about ia in the shade
and in u long list of towns the lowest fig
TIRE was 10. In the sun it Is 100, so 1t is
impossible to work at midday. The heat
has caused numerous fires from spontan-
eous combustion and the houses are so
baked during the day that in the worst sec
ton the residents are sleeping in gardens
and on the roofs. The damage from fire Is
very great. News comes from parts of
Australia of much destruction by the
flames.
Ii would appear from the press reports
that the total damage Will amount TO mill
ions of pounds. In Victoria colony an
enormous acreage of crops have been de-
stroyed In other colonies houses and
barns were burned.
