NO SIGNS OF CANNlBALISM
Lieutenant Peary Denies Sensational Rumon
Regarding Greedy Relics.
The Arctic Explorer Did Not Look
for such Evidence and
Found None.

m an interview with the Ne9 York
Herald yesterday, Lieut.. Peary. the arctic
explorer. answered the alleged statement
of some of the members of his party re-
garding the finding of evidences of canni-
balism at the Greedy camp at Cape Sa-
bine. He said: Il found no evidences of
cannibalism at Camp Clay. on Cape Sabine.
1 have said this repeatedly. ! didn't look
for proofs, or indics lions, or evidence, or
anything which would again open this
terrible episode of arctic adventure. / did
not go to Cape Sabine to obtain proof that
the men with Greedy had their natural
feelings overcome by the agonies of star
walton.
TT seems to me. however, that this talk
Of cannibalism Is unnecessarily revived.
1 think ii has been conceded that the
tragedy Of Cape Sabine forced the men into
conditions which could not have existed
me that the violation Of the laws of nature
would have been to have compelled the
living to perish when their existence might
have been sustained by the food which
to me. only a matter for the individual to
decide-whether he would partake of the
dead or die.
'Tt would he different II lots were drawn
and the unfortunate being made the VIC
tim of the lust OF appetite of his living
murderers- Nothing OF that sort has been
even imagined of the tragedy of Cape Sa-
bine. The living. in order to sustain life,
may have been temDted-in fact, ] believe
1t was decided that they had preserved
their lives in this manner. But, as for TAX
ing any part in any ghoulish search, that
I did not. nor will do So
II discovered that Camp Sabine seems to
be most particularly the key to the adj
vance to the pole While there I Will be
able to determine exactly when it will be
advisable to force the ship beyond the
cape. The earliest moment will be taken
advantage of under the most favorable
conditions. With this aid and with the
help Of the Esduimaux. I believe the fu-
ture will Justify all sorts of encouraging
expectations
Mr.. Peary mentioned casually that he
was the first white man who had entered
Camp Clay since Greedy left it, and said
that the relics were the same in general
character as those which he recovered
from Polaris House, and from the haunts
of Frobisher.
Regarding the disposition of the metorite
which he brought hack with him, Lieut..
Pesry said he did not know yet what would
become of it. 1t may go to the Smith
sonian or to the Museum of Natural His
tory in New York city. 1t will depend
upon which Institution or what citizen will
pay the most.

GRANT TO THE ATLAS co.
Nicaragua Recent Action May Cnus
an Inquiry.


an Inquiry.
The government will probably institute
an inquiry, through the Nicaragua canal
commission or otherwise, of the extent and
effect OF the recent grant by Nicaragua to
the Atlas Steamship Company, a British
corporation. of exclusive rights of naviga-
ton for the next thirty years of the San
Juan river and Lake Nicaragua. These
two waterways are said to form two of the
links of what will ultima ely be The Mica
ragua canal. The State Department re-
Gently received report from Consul
OHara in Nicaragua. giving brief details
OF the concession granted to the British
company. and saying that 1T embraced va
rious exclusive privileges in the Silicon La
COON. the San Juan river and Lake Mica
ragua- Since then additional information
has become available as to the plans of
the Atlas Company. The Silicon Lagoon
is said to be on the route of tine canal and
II is argued that there is no reason why
this should not pass into the exclusive con-
troll of British company. The excava-
tons beginning at Greytown, and running
thence west. unite with the San Juan river,
which In turn leads to Lake Nicaragua.

regard Is not known. An official familiar
with Nicaragua caaal affairs says that the
concession WOULD have TO be construed as
subsequent 10 tfss to the canal company,
aze the latter's rights in the San Juan
river and Lake Nicaragua he believed
would be fully iecogniZed by Nicaragua.
But the danger, az added. was that when
the American ccnapany's concession ex-
pire1, two years nence. then the British
corporation would succeed, under the terms
of the recent concession, to all exclusive
righSs of nivffation in these two links of

that the government or the canal company
will take steps to learn definitely if this
