DENNARK FAVORS COOK.
Causes Of Prejudice against Com
mandfr Pedyu.

Copenhagen. Sept n-Denmark apparently re-
mains faithful in supporting Dr. Cook. All tho
Copenhagen newspapers to-day reiterate their be
lief in him Sentiment doubtless is a factor in this
feeling, the Danes being proud that the explorer
visited their country first Moreover there is a
noticeable prejudice against Commander Peary on
account of the reports from the Danish colony in
Greenland of his treatment of the Esquimaus and
allegations on the part of Captain Otto Sverdrup
friends that Peary treated Sverdrup shabbily when
the two expeditions met In the Arctic
Regarding the alleged i'll treatment of the Esqu-
maus, 1t has not been possible to secure any def
mite specifications here supporting this story ONLY
assertions are made that such belief is current in
Greenland
To-days newspaper discussion brings To light
only one new fact The London Daily Chronicle -
which is attempting 10 prove DIR. Cook i'm
poStor, published an Interview which its CORE
spondent here had with Mrs. Rasmussen, in which
Mrs. Rasmussen is quoted saying that her hus-
band had Informed her by letter that his talks
with the Esquimaus had caused him to doubt Dr.
Cooks story. The interpreter. who translated Mrs.
Rasmussen's words for The Chronicle" CORE
spondent has letter TO the paper expressing
regret that his imperfect knowledge of English had
caused him Ia represent Mrs. Rasmussen as eX-
pressing views directly opposite to those which Site
gave.
London newspapers have been received here con
tanning reports of DR. Cooks talk when he saw
the correspondents soon after he landed at Copen-
hagen These reports are fun Of inaccuracies as
their memories comparison of the accounts in
these papers makes it appear if Or Cook lad
uttered contradictions He did not
Director Ryberg, head IF the Greenland ad-
ministration, asked to-day If DR.. Cook was
in earnest in his attempts to send ship after his
Esqunau companions He replied 'Dr. Cook has
asked US do everything in power TO send out
a ship for that purpose. I advised him that it
would be useless and foolish to send expedition
this season"
Herr Ryberg added: y believe that Dr.. Cook is
entirely reliable and earnest. His reputation in
Greenland Is the best possible, and i would
alire the strongest contrary evidence 10 shake our
faith IN his word
Hundreds Of kilograms arc arriving here for the
explorer. and the members " the American lega-
tion are almost buried under correspondence, re-
sulting from Dr. Cooks visit. When the ex-
plorer was told that some of the newspapers had
questioned his sanity. he remarked: Il hope l am
nor crazy but from the hysterical and foolish
teIegrams I getting I should Judge there are
plenty of lunatics at large"
