LIEUT. GREELY DEFENDED. An Officer of the Relief Party Talks. LONG THE STRONGEST OF THR PARTY WHEN FOUND— CANNIBALISM ADMITTED—A LOST DIARY—GREELY'S PLUCK AND MANAGEMENT. A Star reporter last evening met a naval officer ‘who was on board one of the Greely relief vessels, Dut whose presence here was generally unknown. He was about to leave town when interviewed. In answer to the reporter's questions in regard to the expedition he sald: “I saw the THE Srax’s Inter- views with an army officer, and think a great in- Justice is being done to Sergeant Brainerd. One look at that man Would be sufficient to sauisiy_ you that the statements made regarding him are un true, and Brainerd ts rightin denying them. In the first place he did not go aboard the Bear until Several weeks after the party was rescued, neither ‘was he the strongest man in the party.” LONG, THE HUNTER, THE STRONGEST MAN OF THE PARTY WHEN RESCUED, “Who wast” asked the reporter. “Why, Long was decidedly the strongest. He met the rescuing party, and was able to walk when taken aboard the Bear, while Brainerd had to be carried.” “Perhaps Brainerd’s name has been confused with Long's,” suzgested the reporter, “hat may be,” was the reply, “for I fancy that Long would be much more likeiy to say such things than Brainerd. Why, Brainerd was practically the head of the expedition ater Greely became incapacitated for duty, and he showed nimseit pos sessed of ability far above his station, Long Was the hunter for “the party, and_he was a dead shot. ‘There ts no douvt tmmy mund but that_he kept more than his share of the game killed.

When the survivors were found they were ail under one tent: that ts, all were camped in the tent but three, who Were Just outside a flap of the tent. Even Lieuts.

He hus never said ax criticised Garlington cache of provisions at Payer lurbor as directed.

At Cape Sabine Dr. Pavy and one of themen came into his teut- and insisted upon an immediate divi- sion of the supplies on hand. Greely emphatically reiused, and when they further insisted he ordered thein ott of his tent, weak as he was, threatening to shoot them on the spot if they didn’t go. and they went. Every officer of the reltet expedition has expressed admiration for Greely’s pluck and management, aud if there ts any fgut about the | matter you may rest assured tat Greely will noid | his own. He's no fool. He will undoubtedly be promoted unless there iS irony oppostuion In high | pope quariers But that story about Bratnerd I will bet anything is not true. Ihe iad yone quletly to his nm @ farin, they couldn't help making him a lieutenant. He deserves tt if ever a man did. Long might have been the man meant, but not Brainerd.” THE STORY OF THE ERSCCE RETOLD. “I see by Tue Stan to-night,” continued the om- hat some one Is again quoted as saying that all the survivors were taken aboard the Bear, and that the Thetis was not present. That's a mis take. I will tell you fust_ how twas. ‘The Theus arrived at Littieton Island first on the 221 of June, and the Bear arrived about 2:8) In the afternoon! Both vescels started for Payer Harbor together. The Theusarrived first and was inade fast to an ice tue. Capt. Schiey immediately sent out two search parties under Lieut. Taunt and Ensign Har- low, and another was sent out by the Bearus sbon asshe urrived, Lieut Taunt’s party f und the re cords of the Greeiy party on top or Brevoort Island, | and immediately returned to the Thetis with them! ‘These records tld where the survivors were camped. ‘Thesteam launch of the’ Thetls was broken, 80 that | of the Bear Ws at once sent with people from both | ships to the cainp, Which was only about tour miles | distant, The Bear not being fastened, a8 was the ‘Thetis, was boarded by Capt.

The Thets picked up the other two | sear h parties, Harlow vaving found the instru- | ments th another cache, and urrived at Camp Ciay about 10 minutes after the Bear. Boats, officers and men Were immediately sent ashore to render istance. Three of the survivors were taken on board the Bear- Fredericks. The four other survivors sind all the dead bodies were | taken aboard the Thetis. Six of the bodies were So you see Dott vessels Were present at the rescue, and Brain end was right Iu denying that he was taken aboard the Bear. “There have been lots of misiakes pub- Ushed in this connection. but Ihave given you the correct story, as you will see when Capt. report is made pubic.” : a The Situation in Ohio, ALL SORTS OF OPINIONS, An Ohlo democrat sald to-day that he believed his party would carry that statein October, but lose it in November. Me added: “The liquor ques- tion wiil help us in the state fight tn October, but it will not cut any figure in the national election in November.” Such meager advices as come to party men here in Washington from Ohio indicate that the demo- crats have more money than the republicars, but the latter, except in certaln localities, where they are hundicapped with internal dissensions, are doing the most effective work. The saloon keep- ers aire dissatisfied with the democrats because the latter did not redeem thelr pledge to repeal the Scott law. This law became so popular that the democritt3 hesitated to openiy antagonize it. ‘The wool-growers abuse both parties, DUL seem to think that. Whey can expeet more from _ the repub- leans than the democrats. The situation in Ohio 4s, from all accounts, very much mixed and itis hard to tell who has the advantage, but upon. the ‘whole. the prospects. seem to rather tavor te republicans. ‘The party managers on the republi- can side, however. apparently realize that they have noeasy victory ahead. They are making ‘strenuous appeals for money, while the democrats, thanks to the big fortunes'and lberality of the Paynes, McLeans, Bookwalters and several others, have a pretty full treasury.
