Seek Additional information.

To get some additional information re-
garding the plight Of the Roosevelt party
the American Museum of Natural History
sent q cable message 10 the American
Consul at Para. Brazil, yesterday. The
message was as follows:
american Consul. Para, Brazil: Can
you obtain any Information concerning

by telegraph at the earliest possible"
While Professor Henry Fairfield Osborn,
president OF the museum, felt no appre-

Chapman. who recently received lengthy
letter from Colonel Roosevelt, which was
published in The Tribune as was one to

from Fiala most unsatisfactory and not
definite enough to relieve apprehension.
But Dr. Chapman believes that Colonel
Roosevelt had himself sent dispatch
which has been lost in transit.
1T Is my opinion that Colonel Roose-
welt would have sent a message at the
same time" said DR.. Chapman. He
would not have consented to having the
one fldla sent without StUOlnS "OrQ MINI

In a few days we shall probably hear
more details.

DIR. Chapman made public cable
message he received recently from Leo
