FINDS NEW ARCTIC LANDS.
Walter Wellman's Expedition RETURN
to NORWAY

Tromsoe, Island of Tromsoe, Nor
way. Aug. 1s.--Walter Wellman and
the survivors. of his polar expedition
arrived last evening on the Capella,
having successfully completed their
exploration in Franz Josef Land.
Mr.. Wellman has discovered impor-
tant new lands and many islands. The
expedition brings grim story of Arc
tic tragedy. In the autumn of 1898 an
outpost called Fort Mckinley was es-
tablished in latitude 81 degrees. 1t
was house built of rocks and rooted
over with walrus hide. Two Norwe-
gians, Paul Biorvig and Bert Bentsen,
the latter of whom was with Nansen
on TIE Fran, remained there. The
main party wlntered in canvass
covered hut called Harmsworth House
at Cape Tegethoff, on the southern
point of Halls Island, latitude so de-
grees.
In the middle of February, before
the rise of the sun to its winter
height. Mr.. Wellman, with three Nor
wegians and forty-fiye dogs, started
north. 1t was the earliest sledge
journey on record in that high lati-
tude.
On reaching Fort Mckinley Mr..
Wellman found Bentsen dead, but
Bjorvig, according to promise. had
kept the body in the house sleeping
beside it through two months of Are
tic darkness. Notwithstanding his
terrible experience the susvipor was
safe and cheerful.
Pushing northward through rough
ice and severe storms, with continu-
Gus temperature for ten days between
forty degrees and fifty degrees below
zero. the party found new lands north
of Freedom Island, where Nansen
landed in 1895.
BY the middle of March all hands
were confident of reaching latitude 81
Or SO degrees, if not the pole itself.
Then began a succession of disasters.
Mr.. Wellman, while Leading the party,
fell into a snow-covered crevasse, seri-
ously injuring one of his legs, and
compelling retreat.
Two days later the party was arous-
ed at midnight by an icequake under
ments many dogs were crushed and
the sledges destroyed. The members
of the expedition narrowly escaped
with their lives, though they managed
to save their sleeping bugs, and some
dogs and provisions.
On Mr.. Weliman's condition becom-
ing alarming, as inflammation set in,
the brave Norwegians dragged him on
a sledge, by forced marches. nearly 200
miles to headquarters, arriving there
early last April.
Mr.. Wellman is still unable to walk

cellent English, but conversation was
principally polite Interchange of
commonplaces. Luna himself was.
however, less guarded. He spoke with
great bitterness of many things, par-
ticuiarly of our arms, emphatically de-
GLAZING that we We're violating the laws
of war by using explosive projectiles
from small arms. This was truthfully
denied, and couhter-charge as to the
same violation by the insurgents was
made by the two surgeons, but it was
finally agreed upon that both sides had
mistaken the peculiar double report.
"Pac-ow," of the Mauser and Krag
for an after explosion of the proiec-
tile. "The night was fairly long.
thank you," the officers said, when
they returned to us next morning, and
yet the numerous fleas in their sleeping
quarters seemed to have worried them
more greatly than had their stay with
in the lines of a semi-ba barous army
for a long, dark night.
We frequently hear taunts and gibes
In excellent English from the enemy's
trenches, and regret to say that there
are two scoundrels, formerly members
of our army, now serving in the insur-
gent ranks. That is, there were two;
one was riddled by the fire from his old
regiment at San Pedro Macati. Both
were men who had contracted nisera-
BILE marriages with native women and
were discharged from the service in
consequence. 1t is not rash surmise
that should that fine regiment, the
Third United States artillery, meet the
survivor, their late comrade, now oppos-
ed to them, they would cause certain
advocates of the ''rose-water'' method
OF warfare to make n charge of tinau-
thoriZed cruelty to prisoners-an i'm
.putation against our troops hitherto
absolutely without foundation,as abun-
dant testimony has shown.
Well-founded reports are at hand
concerning some important changes
in the grade of the higher officers of
the insurgent forces in front of
this place. A number, of those deemed
lacking in daring and leadership have
been replaced by some new men and 1t
is possible thnt some rather more e.
ergetic fighting than has hitherto oc-
Cured will result, hut it is not believ-
ed that another Luna will be discover
ed. We hope not.
There are three things considered
necessary by those of us here serving.
First in Importance is the need Of adj
ditional surgeons; second, machine
guns. and the third is the establish
ment of the depot battalion system of
replenishing regiments. Within two
years and six months from this date
the term of enlistment of rs per cent
of the men composing the eighteen
regiments now. in or enroute to these
islands will have expired, and l ven
ture to predict. that 40 per cent of the
above number will be discharged be-
tween Sept.1 and December /, 1901.
Such a wholesale depletion can not be
replaced by recruits without rendering
the entire force absolutely inefficient.
We will need soldiers I'd replace dis
charged soldiers. and the fourth, or
depot, battalion system alone seems to
promise them TO us.

plish what he could otherwise have
done in a week. Mr. Robinson left
with consulate in Hong Kong a hand
full of placer gold varying in sizes from
pin head to a large pea; also, 100
pounds of first rate gold ore.
The consul general ut Hong Kong
says in his letter to the department
that John w. Taylor, well-known
mine owner and prospector of Califor-
MIA, who was on his way to Manila.
made rough assay from the quartz
and found it ran about $50 United
States dollars to the ton. The consul
general says he takes it for granted
that these We're selected specimens.
Mr.. Robinson claims that the assays
of his ore give results of from one
third to one and one-quarter ounces of
free gold to the ton, and nearly double
his amount of gold from concentrated;
that is, about $25 to the ton of free
gold, and from $40 to $40 worth of
concentrated.
Under a recent date, Frank Karuth,
of the Philippine Mineral Syndicate,
London, England. writes, among other
things, to Henry White. American En-
bassy. London, that gold is being won
in the auriferous districts of Mambu-
lao and in Luzon by the natives. and
calls attention to a previous letter, in
which he suggested that United
States gunboat be sent to Mnmbnlao
bay. Mr.. Karuth says that the syndi-
cate which he represents owns a mine
there, in which a great deal of free
gold occurred. so much that when the
mine was being worked In 1897 up
ward of 100 ounces of clear gold was
secured from about 500 pounds of
stone. When the rebellion broke out
and the mine was shut up about $4,000
worth of gold was then in sight.
