Rives to-day issued statement giving in full the correspondence between the New York Yacht club and the Earl of Dunraven and the Royal Yacht Squad ron as to the alleged surreptitious load ing of the Defender so as 10 increase her load-water line, MT. Rives is one of committee of three appointed by the New York Yacht club on Novem- Der IS to investigate Lord Dunraven's allegations. The two other members are MT Pierpont Morgan and Hon. w. c. Whitney.
 The statement commences with II. Maitland Kersey's letter of October IS to the New York Yacht club stating that he had received a cablegram from the Earl of Dunraven offering to come to New York and place himself at the disposal of the Investigating committee. Then follows a letter from the com mittee to MT Kersey requesting him to communicate to Lord Dunraven that the investigation would be com menced immediately upon his arrival and requesting to be informed of his departure for America. A letter sent to Richard Grant, secretary of the Royal Yacht Squadron at Cowes, fol- lows, in which the committee after set ting forth the resolution of the New York club appointing the committee and providing for the investigation says:
 It appears that Lord Dunraven's statement published in the Field is mainly extracted" from a letter which he sent to the secretary of the Royal Yacht Squadron on September "A last. We, therefore, beg to inquire whether the charges last mentioned have been laid before the Royal Yacht Squad ron and whether any and what action has been taken by the yacht squadron upon the subject. In view of the grave imputation of the representative of the Royal Yacht Squadron in an interna- tional yacht race between the two clubs the New York Yacht club feels that the most searching and complete in- vestigation of the facts and of the charges against the representatives of the New York Yacht club should be promptly begun. It is our purpose to conduct such investigation so as to satisfy every fair minded man on either side of the Atlantic and to that end we have already communicated with the Earl of Dunraven and request ed his presence in accordance with the offer made by him. The result of the investigation with all testimony will be transmitted to you"
 In answer to this the committee ac- cording to the statement received the following December 5:
 'London Dec. 5.--Committee thank you for your cable. Squadron has taken and can take no action, it being purely a personal matter. Lord Dun raven does not request the squadron to interfere. Am writing. (SigneO Grant,
 Continuing the statement says on the following day the committee received, through MT. Kersey, two cables from Lord Dunraven, the first reading:
 Kindly inform committee that I will sail at the earliest moment, 7th or 11th. probably former. Regret delay, but must have statements of shippers, etc, now scattered"
 The second message read: Shall come by Germanic eleventh certain. Kindly inform committee
 In conclusion the committee states that by virtue of the resolution under which it was appointed it has the power to increase it's number and has, therefore, upon receiving Lord Dunra- ven's replies added two new members, Hon. F. J. Phelps, late American min- ister to England and the well known naval authority and officer, Captain Mahan. Both gentlemen have promised to serve.
