Mr.. Wyatt. the London manager OF
the equipment of the expedition,
gives details of the oil fuel consign-
ment, which he says was checked and
reehecked by Captain Scott, himself
at New Zealand. He says ne has a
letter from Captain Scott from the
Antarctic, dated October 81, 1911. In
which the commander said that every
item of the supply had been found to
be perfect. He says he has no doubt
that Captain Scott, who was master
of details, personally superintendent
the distribution to the depots by the
advance party at the end Of 1911.
The latter, as already known, was
commanded by Lieutenant Evans,
who awaited SCOTS arrival. and APP
pointed a rendezvous at 80. Az
Captain Scott passed the depots on his
way to the pole. 1t is assumed that

GERARD CONSIDERED

WASHINGTON, Feb. 8, THE inaar
guration of two separate and distinct
movements to bring about an adjust
ment of the Mexican situation with
out resort to intervention by the
United States was the feature of to-
days developments in Washington.
Both of these movements were set
on foot independently of President
Taft, who remains steadfast in his de-
termination not to take such action
in Mexico as viii involve the United
States in long and costly war in that
country.
John Barrett, director of the Pan
American union, tonight proposed a
plan of mediation upon the part OF
the United States government. In
addition to this plan proposed by
Mr. Barrett it was learned tonight
that influences are at work in an en-
deavor to induce Justice James w
Gerard, of the Supreme Court Of the
State of New York. TO go to Mexico
at. once to ascertain il any peaceable
solution of the Mexican situation can
be reached.
Senator Overman Approves.
Senator Overman, of North Caro-
lima, tonight said the idea was good
one. Justice Gerard" said the SEN
ator. lis splendid man. and he
might accomplish great deal OF good
by gathering Independent information
for the use of President Wilson and
the Democrats"
Mr.. Barrett's novel proposition Is
apparently destined to meet a chilling
reception. 1t was pointed out tonight
that the present contest In Mexico
City holds more promise OF bringing
about an adjustment Of tho Mexican
situation than has any other event In

WASHINGTON. Feb. 13.--In &C
cordance with the determination of
the responsible officers of the army
and navy to leave nothing undone
which would facilitate matters in case
they are called on to move against
Mexico. a conference was held today
by Admiral Dewey and the joint army
and naval board
While the meeting was declared to
be merely a routine matter, it is
we'll understood that tentative plans
for a movement to Mexico were dis
cussed.
Maior-General Wood, Major GEN.
eral Witherspoon, Brigader-General
Weaver. Brigadier- General Crozier and
Rear Admirals Osterhaus and Free-
land, and Captain Potts. were among
those attending the conference.
Plans drawn up months ago in pre-
paration for an emergency in Mexico
were discussed. Officers of both ser
ton that while nothing is being done
toward the actual movement of troops
or the despatching of more warships
TO Mexican waters. they intend to be
ready for a call upon them by the
president.
Waiting For Results.
The failure of the contesting forces
in Mexico City to achieve decisive
result in the fighting today leaves tFe
situation absolutely unchanged, with
regard to the course of the admins
tration toward the Mexican question
No further action on the real issue:
of the situation was taken by any
branch of the government today, and
pending decisive outcome of thu
contest within the main capital, nj
such action will be taken.
The president still considers the
Gust omary measures put into effect al
his direction in the early hours OF
yesterday morning are all that the
situation requires. He intends to dc
nothing further until there rs another
turn to events in Mexico City.

the day in writing a special message
to congress, in which he is said te
have put the whole situation up tc

LONDON, Feb. IA dispatch
from Christ Church to the Daily Mail
gives further details of the death of
Scott and the other members OF his
party. The correspondent says that
every ounce of food had been used
long before death came to Scott, Will
son and Bowers. and only small
quantity OF tea was found in the tent.
The relieving force found the bodies
in a sitting posture, with his back
to the tent pole. Between his head
and the pole he had placed his diary
with the apparent intention of using
it's broader surface TO provide an
easter support than the pole Itself.
Wilson and Bowers were lying in
their sleeping bags.
If possible an expedition will go
to the Antarctic next summer to re-
cover the bodies
Amundsen's Feat Disheartening.
The members of the expedition in
interviews here Indicate that there is
possibility that disappointment over
the fact that Captain Amundsen had
reached the pole ahead of them, had
taken the backbone out of Captain
SCOTS party on the return journey.
The ice of the Boardmore glacier
was terribly rough, and many OBJ
structions ten to twelve feet in height
had to be climbed daily. AS a result
of this very rough going. the explorers
were all badly bruised and strained.
1t was while crossing this bad stretch
of ice that Seaman Evans fell and
struck his head. which eventually
caused his death.

Turkey Opens Way for Negotiations
Looking TO Peace Of the
Balkans.

London, Aug. 26.-Pierre Lott. the
French writer, draws an appalling in.
dictment of the Bulgarians in Turkey.
Among other things, he says: THE
Bulgarians have made of Thrace q
desert, surprising in abomination ev.
erything l had been told and all that
I imagined. With what fury have
these Christian liberators worked in
order to accomplish so much destruc-
ton in few months!"
M. Lott confirms the story of several
thousand Turkish prisoners being
herded on an island and there allowed
to starve to death bby the Bulgarians,
those who survived starvation being
massacred, and protests in the strong
est terms against Europe permitting
AdrianOple to be handed back to the
Bulgarians.
He says to do 30 would be crime
and expresses the belief that the Rus
slams have been mislead and that when
they know all the monstrous truth
they will realize that to take up the
cause "of this small, decietful and Zero
cious people of the Slav family would
be to soil their history with indelible
STAIN"
The Vienna correspondent of the
Daily Mail declares that the powers
! have been unable to agree on any
plan to coerce Turkey. France op-
poses any financial pressure, while
Germany objects to moral pressure.
| Neither Austria nor Russia appears
inclined % assist Bulgaria and there

fore he can inaugurate the state bond
