SIR JULIUS VOGEL'S RETIREMENT A HOAX.
Auckland, April 23. The Star has just issued the following extra :—'' The pirates trapped redhanded The bogus telegram —' Thou shalt not steal.' Finding it impossible to shame the Herald from stealing our costly cable messages, we forwarded by the Zealandia to Sydney to our Australian partners in procuring these messages the following bogus despatch, concocted in the Evening Star office—[The message is given in our article.] The telegram was published in Australia, with other special messages, as a trap, and was of course pirated by the agents of the Herald.' It appears this morning in our contemporary, under large headings, as from " Our own correspondent," and, in a leading article thereon, the Herald says :—" But this time the statement comes to us in such a way that we must give it credit." It is needless to say that the statement is without more substantial foundation than the ingenuity of its author, and. we can picture the astonishment of the Agent-General and Mr. G. M. Reed when they hear of it. Now, what of the repeated denials of the Herald? Full expose in to-night's Star.
