A Couple of Cranks, New Yor Crrvy, February 19, 1898.— W.R. Hearst of the Journal and J. Pultzer of the World have sent out to world the following startling message: New York, Feb. 18, 1898. To THE AMERICAN PEOPLE: The Government having shown itself weak, vacilitating and inefficient, we have taken the affairs of the nation in charge and have decided to vindicate American honor and eliminate the Spanish ;nation. In order to insure the success of our plans we deem it inexpedient to disclose the nature of the plans at this time. In a few days our sixteen-story colored supplement presses will be running, and then, with adequate facilities for illustrating our views, we will be prepared to tell the people the whole story. (Signed) HEARs?, PULITZER. In less than’ five minates after this telegram was given out for wiring the Evening Journal and Evening World were on the street with the news, and it then transpired that having known “exactly what course they would take at the meeting with the Federal officials, Messrs. Hearst and Pulitzer had gotten their respective extras into. shape and were ready to start their presses at a moment’s notice. The news that Mesers. Hearst and Pulitzer have kindly consented to guard the interests of the nation has relieved the authorities of an awful responsibility and inspired the people with a feeling of confidence hitherto unknown. Congratulatory telegrams are pouring into the World and Journal offices, and as fast as received are being conspicuously. bulletined. From the various navy yards and from the military departments in Washington comes the news that since Messrs. Hearst and, Pulitzer took charge of the affairs of the nation activity wholly without precedent prevails and things are being done that were never done before. _—_— Killed With a Pick. Wetton, Ohio, February Spanish miner working near Glenroy said yesterday in a crowd of other miners that Spain would make short work of the United States in a naval war.

Ordnance Bureau, as to the cause of {torpedo such at is known to modern 19.—A!° inh Did re Cause It. : _ Wasinoron, Feb. 19—The opinion of one of the Jeading experts in the use the explosion, isasfollows: “As to the question of the cause of the Mainée’s explosion we know that no warfare can of itself cause an explosion of the character of that on Anco of the Maine. “We knowiof 1 no instances where the explosion ota torpedo or mine under. a ship’s bottom has exploded the magazine within. It has simply torn a great hole in the ship’s bottom, through which water entered, and in consequence of which the ship sank. Magazine explosions, on the contrary, produce effects exactly similar to the effects of the explosion on board the Maine. _ “When it comes to seeking the cause of the explosion of the Maine’s magazine we should naturally look not. fer improbable or unusual causes, but those against which we have had to guard-in the past. ‘The most common of these is through fire in bunkers. Many of our ships have been in danger several this cause—and not long ago the Cincinnati's bunkers actu: ally set fire to nettings—wooden boxes within the magazine, and had it not been discovered in time it would have resulted ina catastrophe on that ship similar to the one on the Maine. “I shall again emphasize the fact that no torpedo exploded without a ship has ever produced, or, according to our knowledge, can produce an explosion of a magazine within.” The Royal is the highest grade baking powder known. Actual tests show it goes onethied further than any other brand. pOAL BaKing Absolutely Pure ROYAL BAKING POWDER 00., NEW YORK. J. R.

A Couple of Cranks, New Yor Crrvy, February 19, 1898.— W.R. Hearst of the Journal and J. Pultzer of the World have sent out to world the following startling message: New York, Feb. 18, 1898. To THE AMERICAN PEOPLE: The Government having shown itself weak, vacilitating and inefficient, we have taken the affairs of the nation in charge and have decided to vindicate American honor and eliminate the Spanish ;nation. In order to insure the success of our plans we deem it inexpedient to disclose the nature of the plans at this time. In a few days our sixteen-story colored supplement presses will be running, and then, with adequate facilities for illustrating our views, we will be prepared to tell the people the whole story. (Signed) HEARs?, PULITZER. In less than’ five minates after this telegram was given out for wiring the Evening Journal and Evening World were on the street with the news, and it then transpired that having known “exactly what course they would take at the meeting with the Federal officials, Messrs. Hearst and Pulitzer had gotten their respective extras into. shape and were ready to start their presses at a moment’s notice. The news that Mesers. Hearst and Pulitzer have kindly consented to guard the interests of the nation has relieved the authorities of an awful responsibility and inspired the people with a feeling of confidence hitherto unknown. Congratulatory telegrams are pouring into the World and Journal offices, and as fast as received are being conspicuously. bulletined. From the various navy yards and from the military departments in Washington comes the news that since Messrs. Hearst and, Pulitzer took charge of the affairs of the nation activity wholly without precedent prevails and things are being done that were never done before. _—_— Killed With a Pick.

Ordnance Bureau, as to the cause of {torpedo such at is known to modern 19.—A!° inh Did re Cause It. : _ Wasinoron, Feb. 19—The opinion of one of the Jeading experts in the use the explosion, isasfollows: “As to the question of the cause of the Mainée’s explosion we know that no warfare can of itself cause an explosion of the character of that on Anco of the Maine. “We knowiof 1 no instances where the explosion ota torpedo or mine under. a ship’s bottom has exploded the magazine within. It has simply torn a great hole in the ship’s bottom, through which water entered, and in consequence of which the ship sank. Magazine explosions, on the contrary, produce effects exactly similar to the effects of the explosion on board the Maine. _ “When it comes to seeking the cause of the explosion of the Maine’s magazine we should naturally look not. fer improbable or unusual causes, but those against which we have had to guard-in the past. ‘The most common of these is through fire in bunkers. Many of our ships have been in danger several this cause—and not long ago the Cincinnati's bunkers actu: ally set fire to nettings—wooden boxes within the magazine, and had it not been discovered in time it would have resulted ina catastrophe on that ship similar to the one on the Maine. “I shall again emphasize the fact that no torpedo exploded without a ship has ever produced, or, according to our knowledge, can produce an explosion of a magazine within.” The Royal is the highest grade baking powder known.
