Ah sef1ora !: mis- versos
No ruedap, como aristas al acaso.
Unidos dispersos
Entire las muchedumbres Sc abren paso.
feles las ciegas multatudes,
Que padeceu dolores infinitos,
Son himnos para todas las virtudes,
Y yambos para todes los delitos.
Falminan contra todas las maldades
Que fr8gua el servilismo
Cabalgan en- las roncas tempestades
Y cernense en- los pueblos y ciudades
Qae erie en- atalaya ell despotismo.
Son la protesta en- ell doliente ruego
De una legion de heridos gladiadores,
cruzan con su latgo de fuego
FL rostro de insolentes opresores.
Para alentar la f6 de los cautivos
Atraviesan montaflas desiertos,
Oantan v viyen con los heroes vivos,
Viven cantan con los heroes muertos.
lQle ell canto que perdura, es aquel canto
Que consagra ell amorS De amor no hablemos.
Dejad que de mis- ojos seque el llanto,
Que me cubra ell olvido con su manto.
Ipor piedadi callemos.
Coronado de fl pres canta Ofelia;
En- su virtud Desdemona Sc escuda;
iohl sombra eterna en- ell azul del cielo,
Otelo duerme cuando Hamleto duda,
Si Hamleto duerme, Sc despierta Otelo.
Vos conoceis la historic
De la passion que con mi duelo avanza.
Sofie con la fortuna con la gloria,
mir6 al despertar inmunda escoria
Sobre el negro atand de mi esperanza.
No removals cenizas de Ia pira.
Si yo pudiera hab'ar de aquellos lazos....
En- las templadas cuerdas de mi Ira,
Acosado traici6n por-la mentifa,
Vierais mi corazon hecho, pedazos.

NEAR THE POLE.
Nansen Goes Farther North Than
Any Previous Explorer.
Found Open Water In the Far North
Might Have Reached the Pole,
But for Lack of Dogs
and Canoes.

Vardo, Aug. 15.-Dr. hansen, the re-
turned Arctic explorer, says the Fran
drifted with the ice, in westerly direc-
ton, to "a degrees, and he expects the
vessel will eventually arrive at Spitz-
bergen. He adds that wherever they
penetrated they found the ice broken.
Large patches of water were also found,
$500 meters deep. Below the depth of
100 meters the water was appreciably
warmer, probably owing to the gulf
stream. Rocky scars, of which the ex-
plorers had no previous knowledge,
prevented entrance into the Olenek
river for days.
In consequence of the scarcity of dogs
with the expedition, DR.. hansen was
compelled to turn back at 1918. He
adds that if he had been provided with
a sufficient number of dogs and canoes
the pole would have been reached.
Had to Kill His Dogs.
DR.. Nansen adds that during the win
ter when there was no bears flesh to
feed the dogs, he killed the weakest dogs
and fed them to the others until the
whole pack was killed. He and Lieut..
Hansen started on May 10 to try to reach
Spitzenbergen. After travelling for six
weeks on snowshoes, dragging sledges
partly over land and partly over sea ice,
they reached the quarters occupied by
f. G. Jackson, of the Windward expedi-
ton. The members of this expedition
were found to be healthy and DR.. Nan
sen and his companion remained with
them for six weeks until the steamer
Windwcrd arrived with supplies for
Jackson. When the steamer started on
her homeward voyage DR.. hansen and
Lieut.. Hansen accompanied her to this
place.
The land voyage was most arduous,
but extremely valuable scientific re-
suits were obtained.
In 1895 DR.. Nansen' reached the north
coast of Franz Josef Land and built
a stone house, in which he lived the
whole winter.
The Jackson-Farnsworth expedition
arrived at Franz Josef Land the follow
ing spring.
