WASHINGTON, Aug. IA horrible story
10 published in the New York Times Of the
sur vivors Of the Greeley party as being
crazed by starvation and having fed on
the dead bodies Of their comrades, and
that written documents are in the posses
sion Of the Navy Department to substsn-
tia.e the terrible narrative. The story
has created q great sensation and Admiral
Nichols, Acting Secretary Of the Navy,
was shortly besieged BY newspaper men
anxious to ascertain something official
concerning the publication. The Ad-
miral says there is absolutely nothing in
the Navy Department confirming the
story and he doubted its truth. /. is pos
sible, however, that 3 report OF this IA
ture may have gone direct TO cretAry
Chandler in New Hampshire, as numer-
GUS documents are forwarded to him
without examination. Here some persons
express the opinion quietly tina. there is
something in the story, and say il Is begin
ming to be known that the Greeley party
were not as harmonious as has been gen.
orally supposed. and that there il 3 story
relating to the expedition which il was in
tended to conceal, but which must come
out in the same way hat the history Of
the Jeannette's unfortunate cruise came TO
be known to the public. The Greeley
party Times story was shown Gen. Hazen,
who was, at first, very noncommittal, but
finally he decided to emphasize. He
said: There are certain facts connected
with the matter that / am not at
liberty TO mention. /. is very probable,
though l don't say so officially, that they
will be made the subject Of Congressional
investigation, next Winter. The story
contains some inaccuracies, notably that
in which reference is made to d~evouring
the smputated limbs of those who suffered
the loss OF legs and arms, in order 10 pre-
serve their lives. Gen. HaZen Was asked
what truth was in the statement that
young Henry had been shot and his body
eaten. "That is q subject" he replied,
upon which / must decline to be inter-
viewed"
