ROALD AMUNOSEN
FINDS SOUTH POLE.
Denies TeIegraphing Anything
Regarding Scott.
Amundsen the Only One of the Fram's
Crew to Land at Hobart-No
One Allowed to Go on
Board the Vessel.

Two of the Christiania, Norway,
local newspapers received dispatches
from Captain ROAD Amundsen, an
nouncing that he reached the south
pole on Dec IA, 1911. The dispatches
were sent from Hobart, Tasmania,
and read:
pole reached fourteenth-seven-
teenth December"
This evidently means that he re-
NAMED three days in the vicinity of
the pole, probably for tine purpose OF
taking accurate observations as to his
position A .cablegram received from
Hobart, Tasmania, says:
Captain Amundsen denies having
telegraphed anything regarding Cap
tain Robert F. Scott or the British ex-
petition.
Captain Amundsen, up to the pres
ent, is the only member of the ant
arctic expedition who has landed from
the Fran No one is allowed to go on
board the vessel under any preteXt
whatever. The explorer says he is
dition, but otherwise maintains silence
on the subject.
Captain Amundsen intends to stay
at Hobart for few days. He will
then go to Australia and give a few
lectures there, afterward departing
for Europe by the circuitous route Of
Buenos Aires, then round Cape Horn,
up the Boring straits and through the
Northwest passage and the Arctic
ocean"
The confirmation of Captain Amund,
sens attainment of the south pole on
Dec. IA, 1911, received from the ex-
plorer himself at Hobart, Tasmania,
sets at rest the conflicting reports cur
rent on the subject.
A dispatch published by the Daily
Express in London dated Wellington,
New Zealand, declared that Amundsen
had stated that Scott had reached the
south pole
It was assumed that this declaration
indicated that Amundsen himself had
not succeeded in attaining the object
Of his expedition, and credit was gen
orally given to the British explorer
Nothing has hitherto been heard
from Scott and Amundsen now denies
that he telegraphed anything referring
to his British rival.
The honor for the achievement of
reaching the south pole must now be
given to the Norwegian explorer until
Captain Scott announces the result Of
his expedition.

below. He died almost instantly.
The burning building was but few

lice hurriedly handcuffed the prison
ers and rushed them out of the build
ing to places of safety.
