Italian Scientists and Explorers Be.
Iieve American Won North Pole.

Rome, Sept. S.-The question
whether DR. Frederick A. Cook, the
American explorer, did or did not
reach the north pole brought out
statements today from Italian scien-
lists and Arctic explorers including
Piedmont and the guides who accom-
panied the Duke Of Abruzzi on his po-
lar expedition of 1900.
These expressions all are TO the eff
feet that DR. Cook could not possibly
have been misled into believing he
had reached the pole had he not ac-
tually done so. He must have car
ried instruments, 1t is argued and
made observations which will demon
strate scientifically the correctness Of
his assertion.
Reception Planned.
New York, Sept s.-The expected
arrival Of DIR. Frederick S. Cook at
Copenhagen from his epoch making
trip to the north pole, which prob
ably win be chronicled tomorrow, Is
the most important news item on the
horizon. 1t was confidently expected
by his friends and supporters that he
would then produce uncontrovertible
proof that he reached the north pole
thus allaying the talg of skepticism
which has been manifested, in the
opinions OF many of his fellow scien-
lists. both here and abroad.
The Danish government. which liz
showing remarkable activity In it's
preparations to receive the explorer,
has dispatched a torpedo boat to
meet the steamer on which he is
passenger on high seas and act as
convoy OF honor into Copenhagen.

parture for America.

GENERAL Regret
IS EXPRESSED
THE U. s. GOVERNMENT WOULD
WITHHOLD CRITICISM or
ITALIAN COMMANDERS
ACTION At NAVAL
PRACTICE.

Washington, Sept 3.--General re-
gret is expressed In administration
circles over the publication ascrfbing
improper motives to the commander
OF the italian cruiser Aetna which.
on Saturday morning last. Is reported
to have steamed between the ships OF
the Atlantic battleship fleet engaged
In target practice off Virginia Capes.
Naval officers in authority in WASH
ington expressed the opinion that any
criticism OF the action of the com
mander OF the vessel should be with
held until substantial evidence lis AT
hand that he in any way violated in
ternationaI propriety in an effort to
observe the operations and results Of
the gunners work aboard the ves-
sells.
Guest of the Nation.
The Aetna they say, Is the guest Of
the nation and 1t would be highly I'm
probable that her commander wos,sd
be guilty Of affront to our people.
The officers said that the ship was
on her way TO an American port and
that II she slowed up as reported
when approaching the fleet IL was in
all probability because of her inten-
ton 10 pass in the capes and make
the port. IL any affront was given the
naval officers say it was entirely nm
intentional and not a studied effort on
the part Of the Italian commander.
