Newspaper Yarn Said to Be Fake Pore and Simple. New York, April 16:?Gen Estevar Cantu, Military Governor of Lowei California, today telegraphed Fran cisco ILquidi, consul general here for the Provisional Government ol Mexico, a report of his investigatior of rumor that Mexican neutrality is being violated by Japanese naval forces in Turtle Bay, Lower California. The telegram reads: "According to information I have received the Japanese ships are ir St Bartolome engaged to save the grounded cruiser Asama. The reported mines are nothing but Bmall buoys showing the place of anchors and works of flotation. The encampments reported by the press are fishing camps." The Letter "E." Some one has advanced the opinion that the letter "e" is the most unfortunate character in the English alphabet, because it is never out of I danger and in hell all the time. Foi some reason he overlooked the fortunates of the letter, so we will call his attention to the fact that "e" is never in war and always in peace. It is the beginning of existence, the commencement of ease and the end of trouble. Without it there would be no meat, no life and no heaven. It is the center of honesty, makes love perfect and without it there would be no editors, devils or news .?Exchange.

T1 ' does not mean that all should i, sent in so late in the week,but Tu ; day is the extreme limit. Mono noon would suit us much better, our force is comparatively idle tl day; but rarely does one come to > so early. This week we had, to I ' gin with, several articles and letti from last week. That was all 1 local news copy we had till Tuesd morning, when one letter came. Tu \ day night there came in four lett< j and Wednesday they kept coming 3 till we had a pile of about a doz communications for the paper, " over time. Strange to say, too, nei ' ly all the belated ones ask us a: special favor to "please to be si ? to get it in this issue."
