NYE TELLS GOOD STORY.
Relates a Narrative of Remarkable
Things in Galapagos Islands.

San Francisco, August 11.-Captain
Richard Nye. who was one of those on
the steamer w. s. Phelps. tells of many
wonders of Galapagos Islands. which
that vessel recently visited. In an inter-
view he said:
1.-THE islands are as full of minerals
as shad of bones. On Albemarle there Is
an extinct crater, miles in diameter, In
which there is In sight 100000 tons
of pure sulphur. The crater is about ten
miles inland and a tramway will be nee
essary for transportation to the coast,
but this should be small matter con-
sldering the possible profit.
zone Of the queer things in Albemarle
is land that is overrun with wild dogs.
The animals are a mongrel breed and
were left on the island by whalers The
dogs have become wild and are extre-.
meiy vicious. They are wolf-like in their
habits and run In droves''
Captain Nye also tells OF a remarkable
lake on the island of Chatham at an
elevation of 5000 feet above the sea
level. This lake, according TO the cap
tain, rises and falls with the tide and
no sounding line has ever reached its
bottom Many relics of an ancient race
were found

CHARGES OF CRUELTY DENIED.
Russian Duke Says Siberia Is Not a
"HelI on Earth"

San Francisco, August 11.-"Those
charges are all humbug," said the Grand
Duke Boris, of Russia, when questioned
in an interview here as to statements
made by Harry Dewindt, the explorer,
concerning alleged cruelties practiced
upon exiles in some of the Siberian out
posts. "One station in particular the
explorer described as "a hell upon earth,
and said of all the men and women there
are only two accused of actual crime.
The others are political agitators'
81 don't know Mr.. Dewindt," said the
grand duke. "Of course, Russian dis
cipline is strict In Siberia England and
France have treated prisoners more Sc
verely than have the Russian authori-
ties the exiles to Siberia, though.
"Why there should be such thing as
an exile system in any country is an
other question. Once In Siberia for what
ever cause the prisoners, or exiles, If
you please, are not subjected to inhuman
treatment. There may be and doubtless
is isolated cases of undue severitx, as In
the prisons and asylums of the United
States and every country The RESPONSE
BILE Russian authorities always see that
justice is done In these cases. 1t is a
fact that thousands of exiles, when par
doned and free return to Russia. elect
to stay In Siberia. Thousands of them
are prosperous and happy in that far
away land today
