MILPITAS C0NSTABLE'S PLEA
CLAIMS HE ACTED IN SELF
 DEFENSE,
Strong Contradictory Testimony The Young Man Apparently Shot in the Head Without
 Warning.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

SAN JOSE, June 30.-Constable John F. Matthew of Milpitas, who shot and killed Hinrich Hopken, an 18year-old boy, near this city Monday evening, was held to answer on a charge of mur- der by the Coroner's jury this after noon.
 Matthew claimed that he acted in f-defense, but the testimony at the inquest did not support his statement. The officers buggy had been robbed of a coat and vest, and in looking for the thief he ran across Hopken, who was walking to Berryessa. The testimony showed that the theft was committed by tramp and not by Hopken.
 According to Matthew the young man ran from him and made motion as if to draw a weapon, but it looks as though Matthew drove up alongside him and shot him in the head without warning.
 Hopken> was a young man of excel lent reputation and lived at Big Sur, Monterey County. Matthew had been drinking, and the act Is characterized as that of drunken officer. A murder charge will be sworn to on the arrival of the boys father tomorrow.
 The verdict of the Coroner's. jury was that Matthew was responsible for Hopken's untimely death, and we find 1t a case of murder"

PLUCK AND PATRIOTISM
 OF CAPTAIN PENNEY
Refuses to Transfer His Schooner Load of Coal to a Spanish
 Steamer.

WASHINGTON, June 30.-A second case of an attempt to transfer coal from an American vessel to a Spanish mer- chantman in Mexico has brought out the old-time pluck of an American sea captain. The 600-ton American schooner Clara A Phinney of New Bedford some days ago was authorized to clear with zoo tons of coal from Mobile to Vera Cruz on affldavits of reliable citizens of Mobile that the coal was destined for railroad purposes. On reaching Vera Cruz Captain Phinney was directed by L. Jonblanc his consignee, to place his vessel alongside the Spanish steamer Maria Herrera. In the presence of a group of excited Spanish sympathizers Captain Phinney bluntly refused, de- claring with emphasis that no vessel in his charge should ever lie alongside a ship bearing the flag of his country S enemy, much less supply her with even a pound of coal. The captain with a crowd at his heels marched to the American Consulate and notified the Consul, and wrote at once to General Spaulding. acting secretary of the American Legation, that he had placed himself under American protection. Ex- ports of coal to MT. Jonblanc of Vera Cruz will cease, spnd the department will undertake to fix responsibility and punishment for the deed.

POET ACCUSED OF THEFT
SAID TO HAVE FILCHED FROM
 BOWLING.
Sensational Exposure Follows the Commencement of the Shef- field Scientific
 School.
Special Dispatch to The Call

BOSTON, June 3O.-There is a big commencement sensation at Yale. It turns out that the class song of the Sheffield Scientific School for '9S was not original. The class poet was w. F. Tichborne, now in the Yale Battery. The New London Telegraph accuses him openly of having plagiarized the poem from Bartholomew Bowling, an Irish poet.
 A comparison of the two productions, as far as the first stanza is concerned, will be suggestive. The class poem was: We meet meath the sounding rafter,
 And the walls around are bare;
 As they echo the peals of laughter
 It seems that the dead are there.
 The following is the original version, according to good authority:
 We meet meath the sounding rafter,
 And the walls around are bare;
 As they shout back our peals of laughter
 It seems that our dead are there.

WASHINGTON, June 3O.-No word has come to the Navy Department from Admiral Sampson making the slightest reference to the Spanish story of the sinking of the Brooklyn by a shell from the Santiago harbor de- lenses. As Admiral Sampson is within an hour or two of the cable sta- tion, and his orders would require him to report instantly any such occur renee, the officials of the Navy Depart ment have no hesitation in denouncing the story as a fabrication similar to that got out week ago from Ma drid describing the killing of Captain Evans.
