LONDON, Feb. 1.-(New York World
Cablegram-Special Telegram)-A World rep
resentative, who called at Lord Dunraven's
London residence, 27 Norfolk street, Park
Lane, today, was informed that his lord
ship denied himself to every one.
Mr.. Hamilton, his secretary, who recently
accompanied him to New York, said: I'VE
have had numerous inquiries of this same
purport today from journalists, and have
given the same answer to all. l don't know
whether Lord Dunraven will make any state
ment on the report, but, obviously, II he
does II is not the sort of thing to be done
in hurry. He will probably make none and
he certainly will give no interview. The
World will be promptly informed OF his
ultimate decision"
Mr.. Askwith. Dunraven's counsel at the
inquiry, was also seen at his rooms in Wal
sngham House. He, likewise declined to
say anything on the report at present. "The
report requires" he said, scrutiny and care
before expressing au opinion"
Arthur Glennie is cut Of town.
The Worlds correspondent at Cowes saw
Secretary Grant Of the Royal Yacht squad
ron, who said: 81 consider the report satis-
factory and think Lord Dunraven will
apologize 1t is reported that he admits his
error"
Barring the Times grudglng admission
that the report was thorough and authorita-
tive and its failure to express the opinion
that 1t was also conclusive Of Lord Dun
ravens error, the London press has been
unanimous so far as 1t has yet spoken in
saying that the report Is courteous to de-
gree even Of midness in rebuking Lord Dun
ravens groundless charges. The Chronicle
as the World has already cabled, speaks of
the charges as "monstrcus" and says that
no course is now open to him but "instant
and complete apology"
ONLY ONE WAY LEFT.
The Morning declares there is no course left
for the owner of Valkyrle but to with
draw his allegation. 'The decision Of the
New York Yacht club will, we are sure, be
loyalty accepted by Lord Dunraven and his
fellow yachtsmen here, and the best way
to show this will be to make an early effort
to win back Americas cup"
Even Mr.. Astor's Pail Mall Gazette, no.
tcrous since the beginning of the contro-
vcrsy for thick and thin defense of Dun
raven and abuse of American yachtsmen,
heads it's summary of the report: Lord
Dunraven's Charges Courteousy Refuted"
The Westminster Gazette says: 1--WE have
always given Lord Dunraven credit for good
intentions in this matter and we can't doubt
he will now set himself right by an ample
and graceful apology"
The St. James Gazette does not mince
words. Its column leader says that most
insulting charges were made by Dunraven on
the fmsiest evidence possible and that 1.-THE
New York Yacht club has given his lordship
q severe lesson In fairness and good manners.
No fair minded man can deny that the word
mistake Is the mildest which could be used.'
The Gazette's concluding statement that put
ting everything else aside he owes it to him
self as a gentleman to apologize to those
whom he has accused, without due justifca-
tion.' Is practically the sentiment Of every
English yachtsman. Lord Dunraven's delay
in making this apology, If prolonged beyond
reasonable time, will subject him to the Sc
vere5t criticism among influential English
sportsmen.
IsELIN GOES EAST.
c. Oliver Iselin left London a week ago for
Cairo. The statement cabled here that he
was the bearer of the committees report to
the Royal Yacht Squadron was sent by
news agency, and like much other American
news lately cabled by the same agency, both
from New York to London and from London
to New York, has proven to be not only
false, but extremely mischievous. Its rabid
war news during the past few weeks in con-
nection with Germany and the Transvaal
was almost uniformly preposterous, when
not merely exaggerated, the present situation
amply showing its utter lack of truthful
foundation, as compared with the Worlds
accurate advices.
Lord Dunraven is not taking his new
yacht Cariade to the Mediterranean regattas
this spring, which will be the first season
OF many that he has not been represented
there. Allsa has already left the Solent
for the south and Britannia Is expected to
follow her shortly. Lord Dunravens twenty
rater Audrey would, in the opinion of
yachtsmen, have an excellent chance OF
capturing some CT the best prizes In her
class on the Riviera, but her owner is
evidently out of sorts with his favorite sport
at present.
Mr.. Roses Satanita, bought by him just
before his abortivo challenge for the
Americas cup. has also been sent to the
Mediterranean BALLARD SMITH.
