States suddenly had become factor
in the eastern situation and must be
consulted in any steps which might be
taken concerning the Polandizing OF
China. We We're, SO to speak; a new
division in the equation, with the prob
ability which later proved to be q
reality-that we would check the land
grabbing ambition of certain powers.
"Under these circumstances was
asked if the United States would
agree, provided freedom was granted
to Cuba, Porto Rico coded to the Unit
ed States and coaling station was
granted in the Philippines, that Dewey
should withdraw from the Philippines
and all claim to the archipelago be sur
rendered. l was told that if this pro
gramme was not accepted by the Unit
ed States the continental powers would
provide assistance to Spain so that the
war would be, prolonged at least two
years, thus involving the United States
in an expense of several hundred mil
lion dollars. even though the outcome
of the war necessarily would be a COM
plete American victory.
cat that time Ceryera's fleet was still
upon the seas and the American army
in Cuba was not in the most satisfac-
tory situation. The proposition was
made to me by an agent of the Spanish
government who represented that he
acted after consultation with the rep
resentatives of other powers, because
] was well known in London and, in
fact, was accredited with having closer
relations to the American administra-
ton and with congress than actually
enjoyed.
81 know for a fact that the PROPOSE
ton in all its entirety was laid before
Lord Salisbury, and he was asked to
give his assent to it. He replied that
he would not indorse it in any particu-
lar, although willing to lay it before
our government simply. as a medium
of uansmittal. His declination to
agree to the scheme and the perfume
tory attitude which he assumed in re-
gard to it had fatal effect. The sub
ject, I believe, was communicated in
formally to ambassador Choate. who
replied that the war had progressed
too far and was too certain of an i'm
mediate and successful end to permit
the United States to entertain any
proposition which involved future ac-
ton regarding the Philippines.
''The publication of the other day
has recalled wildly the details which
] have now related for the first time
and which even now I would not make
public were it not for the fact that
general outline of the story has found
its way into print"

from the rest Of the world on "a bleak
continent, wind swept and devoid of
vegetation and animal life, he is even
now planning for a return to the far
south, not to break record, but to OBJ
tain information which he believes will
be Of great value to the scientific world.
When seen by reporter of the New
York Herald, Mr.. Borchgrevink was
comfortably at home at the Everett
House. Although only a few hours
ashore, he had unpacked his pictures
and was surrounded by the trophies of
his long trip. Gazing at photograph
of a Imitless reach Of snow and ice, he
said:
''Not even those adventurous souls
who have forced their way close to the
north pole can conceive the dreariness
of that great and unexplorable CONT
nent that stretches away through the
solid seas of the far south. 1t is fact
that the cold is much greater in the
south than in the north. l will not at
tempt to explain why, although I have
theory of my own.
''It was almost four years ago that l
completed preparations for the voyage
south. We arrived at the ice banks in
February, 1899. Ten of us landed our
stores and supplies and then sent the
ship Southern Cross back to remain a
year in the waters about Australia.
When we took to our sledges we We're
1000 miles southeast of the Australian
archipelago. The Roaring Forties,"
the most terrible seas known to the
mariner, had been safely naVigated,
and we had then the frozen sea to
cross before reaching that mysterious
continent that has been named South
Victorialand.
sour party was made up of my sci
entific staff Of six, two Laplanders and
a Norwegian sailor. Our ninety sledge
dogs were all in good condition, and
we had food enough to last an. indef-
mite period, so that ! never thought of
failure. There could be no failure, for
the reason that I did not seek a record.
No thought was given to previous eff
forts We were after results, and it
made no difference to US whether we
went farther south than any other men
had done or not. AS it happened, we
did beat all records, but that was the
least of our achievements. We OBJ
tanned information that more than
paid for the hardships that attended
the trip.
'tOf course it has been known for
sixty years that great continent is at |
The south pole, but of its physical char
acteristics not thing is known. We |
found that no mammals live there and |
that the only form Of vegetable life is
a lichen of the same variety and |
species that is found in the far north.
t'Seals are often found on the coast

animal life inland. Penguins and |
few other migratory birds appear In I

months. Some of the harder varieties

BRITISH "No' FRUSTRATED IT.

Senator Furnishes Details of a
Scheme to Keep Our flag OF Phil

EngIand's Refusal to Act With the
Powers. .
The details OF the conspiracy on the
part Of certain powers to prevent the
landing Of American forces in the Phil
tppines during the war with Spain have
just been furnished by Senator De
pew, who confirms the information
which was recently announced in the
New York Press by it's Washington

friendly attitude Of Germany to the
United States when the war with
Spain actually began was brought out
In statement made by Admiral Dew
ey to several senators of how the Ger
pan admiral showed hostility at the
battle of Manila. The statement was
brought out on account of the German
British controversy over neutrality Of
Inc powers DeIOre the war.
The German ships followed the
American vessels about until warned
by Dewey not to get in line Of his fire.
The British commander drew his ships

addition to this stirring incident it is
related that certain of the powers
again, at the alleged instigation of
Austria, tried to make up a combina-
ton to prevent, the landing Of the
American forces in Manila.
When the proposition to keep the
Americans from raising the American
flag over the Philippines was made
known in London, the British foreign
office promptly rejected the suggestion,
and the plot Immediately fell through.
The rejection of the proposal, said to
have come through Austrian channels
resulted in the ordering of Admiral

from the Philippines, leaving the Unit

plans of occupation without any fur

Ry's victory at Manila" says Mr.. De-
pew. 81 remember that in France the
feeling of hostility to Americans was
pronounced, 1t being unpleasant, for in;
stance, for American women to go
shopping in Paris. The same anti
American sentiment was prevalent In
Berlin and Vienna.
'4While was in London in the latter
part Of May or the first week or two of

with proposition which involved a
