DR.. d. F. COLLINS, of Minneapolis,
Minn., and brother of Jerome Collins, scien-
tist Of the late Jeanette Arctic expedition,
has published a statement made by his brother
/ to the effect that Captain DeLong and Lieu
/ tenant Melville were guilty of great cruelty to
| their men aud that they neglected the duty.
/ Collins further asserts that jealousy existed
| between certain officers OF the expedition the
| trouble first beginning, as he learns, over an
/ order to the effect that all men should
| undergo phys cal examinations monthly
/ Collins and Daneuhauer were neither permit
i ted to assist In The retreat. DIR. Collins adds {:
| We happen to know that Kasmoh requested
Melville to go to De Longs relief himself or
neither. He first gave the order to Danen-
/ hauer to go and then countermanded It.
| Kasmoh and Shagra were fifteen days in
| making the round trip to Bellum from the spot
at which Melville's party was. Two days
each way was ample time for the Journey
/ During the trip these men got drunk, and
/ Melville knew It While they were gone in
search OF DeLong, Melville and those with
him made chessmen and checkerboards, and
amused themselves, leaving the work of
searching for their companions to two igno.
| rant drunken natives" Danenhauer stated
at Washington on the Sd that the above state
/ ment OF DR.. Collins was an exaggeration of
/ facts. He admitted telling Collins, however,
/ that there was no criminal chargss against his
brother. Beyond this Danenhauer declined
| to talk until IL would be brought before the
Examining Boarl. Mrs. DeLonghas engaged
counsel to appear before the Board to repre-
/ sent her husbands memory. This, 1t is
| thought, will have the effect of disclosin the
| relations which existed between DeLong,
Melville and Danenhauer.
