GENERAL HAZEN, OF THE SIGNAL
SERVICE, BEING CRITICISED,
RISES TO EXPLAIN.

of Greenland.

antine to be Established,

WASHINGTON, Julv 19.-General
HaZen is annoyed Ivy C itlcisms which
have been made respecting the nom
establishment of Camp Cape Sabine
on the west coast of the channel, and
has prepared the following memoran-
dunn in respect to the matter:
1t was the plan, from the first, to
place depot upon the east bank of
Greenland, at Littleton Island. This
was Greely's plan, after very careful
and prolonged study of the whole
subject. He not only made the plan
before he started, but very carefully
reiterated it in writing after reaching
Lady Franklin bay, closing his letter
on the subject in these words: mo
deviation from these instructions
should be permitted; latitude of ac-
ton should not be given to the relief
party 1.-THE reasons for this decision
were that there was no coal on the
east side, and none on the west.
1t was in the neighborhood
of friendly EsquimauX who did not
live on the west side. On the east
side there was abundant game, while
there was none on the west; while
numel Gus camps of explorers had
been established on the west side,
both above and below, while they are
never established on the west side
because the west side was little more
than barren rocks. The pledge of the
signal office to support Greedy in eX-
act accord with this arrangement was
the most sacred any man could give.
To have departed from it would have
been base treachery. This was done
in every Dartioular
Retrospectively, one may now see
other plans that might have been bet
ter, but, in making personal judg-
ments, we must place ourselves in
THE POSITION OF GREELEY,
and those who were working with
him. Three years ago, at the time he
left, the signal Office was condemned
by court of inquiry because it did
not depart from this agreement so far
as to establish department going up
instead of coming down, if the eXpe-
dition failed to reach Lady Franklin
bay, as Greeley had directed; but, it
seems now that, had it been done,
Greeley could not have reached it as
explained in his dispatch, for reasons
then not foreseeA."

branch of the order. The bridge,
if it can be called by that, at
Hoke Run is apt to require the
attention of any one who may
have to cross it. 1t is an old and
dilapidated concern, scarcely wide
enough to permit vehicle to
cross. We wondered the direc-
tors of the Williamsport Turnpike
Co, knew that the law requires a
bridge to be at least twelve feet
wide, with railing three feet high
on each side. There is no railing
on the bridge and should horse
shy in crossing it over you would
go into the run, getting a ducking,
