Explorer on His Way to Denmark Sends Mes sage to CountrYmen of Success in the Far North.
Esquimaux Accompanied Him and Every Indication is That the Goal of Scientists Has Been Located, Although Doubt is Cast on the News by Some Men With Knowledge of the Situation.

Copenhagen, Sept. IA brief message received here today that Dr. Frederick A. Cook, the American explorer, reached the North Pole in his expedi- ton, which has just ended, Is given full credence here. although details are lacking Of the intrepid dash across the lcs.
 The message was received at the Co., ionial Ofhce here this morning via Ler- wick, shetland Islands. announcing that Dr. Cook had reached the pole, April 21. 1908. This dispatch was sent by a Greenland official on board the Danish government steamer Hans Egede. which passed Lerwicx at noon today en route for Denmark, and read as follows:
 "We have on board the American traveller, Dr. Cook, who reached tho North Pole, April 21, 1908. Dr. Cook arrived at Upernavik in May of 1908. from Cape York. The Esquimaux of Cape York, confirm pr. Cooks story ot his journey"
 It is understood that the Danish Con- sul at Lerwick. where the Hans Egsde remained for two hours, was officially notified of pr. Cooks success in his at. tempt to reach the pole, put that he was bound to secrecy as 70 particulars and the extent of his discovery.
 Dr. Ryeberg. head of the Greenland fnta fan kYaP a0fA fnmfaslxA that he did not expect to receive any further details of pr. Cooks achieve- ment before the arrival of the Hans Eeeds As this port. which probably will be Saturday afternoon The vessel win make no stops on ths voyage from Ler~ wick to Copenhagen.
 Director Ryeherg proceeded to the American Legation and informed the Minister, pr. Maurice F. Egan. that pr. Cook had reached the North Pole. The announcement caused the greatest en. thusiasm throughout the city and many Americans called at the legation to con- gratulate the Minister. Among these was Alexander Kouta, Of New York. a warm personal friend of Dr. Cook, who said he had believed the explorer had perished long ago. The legation was overcrowded with visitors tonight.
 The noted explorer, Commander Nav Gaard, leader of various North Pole expeditions. was convinced that the message was true, but remarked that it was strange that no mention was made in the cable as to whether or not there is land at the pole.
 It is the intention of the people of Copenhagen on pr. Cooks arrival here 10 give him 6 most enthusiastic recep- tion.
