COL. CHA|[LE-LONG
ON FINAL VOYAGE
Noted Soldier, Explorer, Dip
Iomat and Author Dead in
Seventy-Sixth Year.
HAD ROMANTIC CAREER

Col. Charles Chaille-Long, soldier,
explorer. diplomat and author. died at
Virginia Beach, Va, yesterday in his
seventy sixth year.
Col. Chaille-Long. known to the read
ers of The Star for many years through
his articles relating to the innermost
policies and diplomatic secrets OF Eu-
ropean nations, was well known in the
capitals concerning whose governments
he wrote. Few men have had so ro7
mantle career nor so wide and excit-
ing experiences; nor have many men
been SO honored by governments and
institutions for so many things.
Native of Maryland.
Born in 1912 at Princess Anne. Som
erset county, Nd, he had the blood of
many distinguished ancestors in his
veins His family had been famous in
France and in the early days of the
Maryland colony. and it was small won
der that he enlisted in the 1st Mary
land u. S. Volunteers in 1852. not long
after he's had >heeas as4sGzaduated from
washington Academy. Before the war
was over he had become a captain, In
y
land Infantry. and served until the end
of the hostilities.
At the close of the conflict he en-
gagged in literary studies Tor three
years. However. soldering appealed
to him, and in 1870 he was appointed
lieutenant colonel in the Egyptian
army, and in the same year became It's
chief of staff. His Egyptian experience
covered a wide range, and In three
years he was appointed chief of staff to
Gen. Gordon. who was the governor
general of the equatorial provinces Of
Egypt.
Important Diplomatic Missions.
He had several important diplomatic
missions to attend at that time. In one
of them he negotiated the treaty by
which the Nile basin was annexed to
Egypt He navigated the unknown
part of tine Nile. and is given credit for
the final solution of the problem
which in those days vexed geographers,
namely, the source of the mysterious
river. He was wounded in that expedi-
ton. and in general conducted himself
with such bravery as to be decorated by
the Egyptian government.
In January, 1875, he led an expedition
for the conquest of certain neighboring
territory. In September he led a SINH
lar expedition to the east coast of
Africa and explored territory up to
that time utterly unknown to civiliza-
ton. His services were SO strenuous
that he contracted infirmities which
forced him to retire from the army in
1877. The Geographic Society of Paris,
through NJ. Maunoir. secretary general,
places Col. Chaille-Longs work in con-
nection with the source of the Nile
among the important discoveries of
African explorers.

\ Took Up Law.

After seven years in Egypt he re-
turned to the United States and within
four years had mastered law. He went
back to Egypt in 1881 to practice this
profession and arrived there in time to
assume the duties of the consul gen.
eral from the United States, that officer
having fed from the massacre Of Alex
andria in June, 1882. -,
Col. Chaille-Longs presence was the
means of saving hundreds of refugees.
He was the last to quit his post and
was the first to re-enter the burning
city At his request American sailors
and marines, who were in those waters,
were placed in his charge, with good eff
feet 1t is probable that the energy of
Col Chaille-Long and the work of these
American sailors and marines saved the
city from total destruction and likewise
prevented insurgent Arabs from over
powering the tottering government.
For this he was decorated by the khe-
dive. Col. Chaille-Long also received
the thanks of the American State De-
partment for assuming and carrying
out the duties of the consuls without
pay.
Honored by President Cleveland.
President Cleveland appointed him
consul general and secretary of legation to
Korea in 1887, and while there he con-
Quoted a scientific expedition to Quelpaert
Island. He relinquished the Korean post
in 1889, and for eight years was occupied
in literary work in Egypt and France. In
1897 he was secretary for the United
States at the Universal Postal Congress
in this city. In the same year he was
made secretary to the United States COM
mission to the universal international ex-
position in Paris.
OF late years he had been engaged in
literary work; publishing many scientific
works, as well as making political contri-
buttons to periodicals. He was a member
of many scientific and geographic organi-
cations.

ASSERTIONS GROWING
Complete Freedom Will Probably Be Given to German DeSerterS
 in Holland.

ROTTERDAM, Netherland, Sept. 4.-( Correspondence of The Asso- ciated Press) The period of grace pired All such who had fled to Holland and other neutral coun- tries, and who returned during the stipulated period, were by procla- nation assured of clemency. ln- stead of the extreme penalty pre- scribed by the severe Germany mil itary code, they were promised a chance to wipe out their offence by service at the front. All who had not returned by July 15, for felt their German citizenship, and, according to the Army order, may never return to their fatherland or hope for pardon.
 There is no evidence that any substantial number of the many hundreds, probably thousands of martial life On the other hand, the latest news from the frontier says the continued stream of de- serters and escaped prisoners-of- war in the reverse direction has led to the reinforcement of the Ger man sentries. At night a sentry is now posted almost every hun dred yards along the border.
 Clemency was not extended to men guilty of deserting to the ene- my in the period of grace just closed. The latest measure testi- fies to the strenuous endeavors be- ing made in Germany to round up every available man to fill the gaps in the far-stretching line of gun, rife and bayonet in East and West.
 A camp for German and Austrian deserters is to be opened shortly at Bergen, in the province of North Holland. In ordinary circum- stances, any such men have only to prove that they are genuine de- serters to obtain complete freedom in Holland. This policy of extend ing open arms to all corners has been found to be attended by grave inconveniences and dangers There has been an increase of crime and anxiety is felt in regard to the pub lie health. The camp is being in- stituted for deserters who have of tended against public order and safety, or who are considered on good grounds likely to commit such offences; men whose condition is considered to constitute a danger to the public health will likewise be interned there. All such will be given the choice of entering the camp or returning whence they came.
