J., Nov. 9.—Dr. T. S. Dedrick, who accompanied the Peary arctic expedition and who left it while in the North, has made a statement. It 1s in part as follows: The misconstruction that the press put upon Dr. F. A. Cook’s opinion as to the effects of the Arctic night upon the possibility of men living amiably together led to the false state- ment that I authorized Dr. Cook to explain the causes of my troubles with Mr. Peary. Dr. Cook did state that he never had any question as to my sanity and that he never | examined me in the least. He has deplored to me the rumors which grew current, and has said emphatically that he wished to do all in his power to stamp out any false lmpnlsl\)ns. I shall not go over the circumstances of my resignation, any more than to touch on those phases which will correct the impressions that | I acted inconsiderately. { _In giving Mr. Peary my verbal resignation, { and upon offering my voluntary services, I told {him that If my presence was not acceptable at his headquarters I certainly should land | &t the nearest possible point. I sald I was | aware that I might be defeating my purpose in thus giving bim information which he might | use to thwart my plan, but that I wantéd him to know my strong feeling in the matter, and also that I wanted to act openly in thus giving { him notice of my intentions. On August 21 at the rendezvous of the two ships at Olrlks Bay 1 gave my verbal resig- nation and proffer of volunteer sgrvices. Mr. Peary accepted the former, but wanted to de- | liberate over the matter. As in both instances of previous engagements (which were dropped at his request) he had accepted my voluntary services, 1 supposed he would now. The ships separated to meet up the shore toward Etah at Nerkee. I was directed to continue on the | Windward in charge of the Eskimos, he being on the Erfk. On the 24th the ships met, stores were transferred and, the Windward remain- | ing, all of us proceeded on the Erik toward | Cape Sabine, supposed to be reached by even- ing, atter making a call at Etah before cross- ing the channel. My written resignation now | given Mr. Peary embodied the following: ou will never by any voluntary act of | mine be deprived of my medical services, nor ;of a helping hand so long as you remaln in |the Arctic. If I am not to remain at your head- | quarters, you can devend upon my being at the nearest possible point that I can effect a landing and maintain life. My salary, of course, ceases from date. My full salary, $1500 per year being due me, you will please give | me an order on the Peary Arctic Club. I shall | refruin from making any public comment and any orivate comment on the chain of circum- | stances leading to the rupture in our relations { until we return to the States, when I shall justify my course, for the sake of my family and my honor, if I deem it necessary. | “T. S. DEDRICK, { “Assistant and Surgeon.” [ REFUSED PROVISIONS. Within a few hours of reaching Etah T r quested an answer, which was as_ follows “Your resignation of the 2lst is at hand, and | 1= accented, to take effect on your arrival in New York, whither you will proceed gn the re- turning Erik.

This was the only opportunity for the land- in er was eaten and I had time to collect my dairies, etc., and ask permission of Mr. Peary 1o go ashore to shoot a_hare, On ehore I changed my mind and sent the following to the shiv: “I stated in my resignation that I would remain at nearest point possible to your heac- quarters so ss to be within your reach in case my medical services are needed. I would willingly stay at Sabine, but if I were not the ship might frustrate my n the settlements. This place Anoritok. At that place I can come ine after the middle of November.

My motives for remaining north were as pure noble as God ever gave to man. simply that I would not leave men in Arctic without a chance for medical aid. The animosity exhibited in the endeavor to brand me and bring me into disrepute, the | refusing of my unpald ealary on such technical grounds, Mr. Peary’'s almost Inhuman treat- men of me without provocation during the fifth year on the side of the channel uninhabit- ed by Eskimos, make reasons for my resigna- tion unnecessary.

General Santo Domingo arrived here {1ast month bearing peace proposals from | the Colombian Government to General | Vargas-Santos. He said the purpose of | his Government in calling the peace con- | ference was to establish an effective and | lasting peace which would harmonize the interests of the several political parties | concerned in the revolation. The matter was discussed between General Vargas- Santos and the Colombian representative, who exchanged a number of cablegrams with the Colombian authorities at Pana- ma, with the result that General Vargas- Santos accepted the proposals made by General Santo Domingo and promised to attend the conference at Panama with Generals Perdomo and Salazar of the Co- lombian Government and Generzl Hera of the revolutionists. At this point of the negotiations General Vargas-Santos received advices to the ef- fect that, notwithstanding the proposals jef the Colombian Government made through its representative here, Colombia purposed limiting the conferees to the acceptance of the decrec of amnsty. Gen- eral Vargas-Santos thereupon refused to ) ettt entet e g RMED LADRONES GROWING BOLOER Government Adopts Vig= orous Measures to Suppress Them. MANILA, Nov. 9.—The Government is adopting vigorous measures to suppress ladronism in the provinces of Cavite, Ri- | zal and Bulacan. A zone embracing these provinces and surrounding ‘Manila is the scene of constant petty and some- | times serious disorder. ‘Several armed { bands, some of them numbering 200 or 300 men, are operating in the described dis- | tricts and have committed various depre- | dations. They find a safe refuge in the | mountains. ¥ | The plan of the Government contem- | plates securing the assistance of the mili- tary, which has been inactive since the end of the insurrection. The extent of | the army’'s participation in the work of | suppression depends upon developments. It is probable that the military authori- ties will request the garrisons to protect the more important towns, while the con- stabulary conduct the field operations. It is thought that martial law, in a modified form, will be declared and the privilege of the writ of habeas corpus suspended in Cavite Province, which has been the home of the ladrones for ages. Military control of Cavite Province is not contemplated. It is intended that the military and civil authorities shall work in conjunction. The belief is held that advantage has been taken In some parts | of the island of the complete inactivity of the soldiers and it is thought that the use of the army by the civil authorities will have a beneficial effect. The vigorous campaign against the la- drones conducted by volunteers in Bula- can Province has resulted in driving many refugee bandits into Rizal, where the campaign is now opening. General Davis Is co-operating with Gov- ernor Taft. He has strengthened the garrisons in Rizal and is supporting and assisting the native constabulary, which is now afield.

At the same time the military director of the Colombian revolution learned that the Colombian Government had issued orders to General Tovar to imprison the revolutionary * General Uribe-Uribe and sentence him to death without merey. This order was given :n spite of General Uribe-Uribe's capitulation to the Govern- ment forces, which occurred at Rio Frio, Colombia, last month. The receipt of this news, which is considered in Colombian revolutiorary circles here to be a shame- ful violation of public faith, further de- cided General Vargas-Santes not to at- tend the peace confecence at Panama, and he issued orders to the Colombian revolutionary army to continue its war- fare. MINER LOCATES OLD MONUMENTS Additional Information of Boundary Marks Reported. Special Corresvondence of The Call. TACOMA, Nov. 9.—The actlon of the State Department at Washington in re- ferring Lieutenant Emmons’ report re- garding the Alaska boundary monuments to a high joint commission has result- ed in an additional statement being made by J. H. de Blondeau, a Porcupine dis- trict miner, who has spent two years in securing detalls regarding these monu- ments from the Chilkat Indlans. The Indians who piloted Emmons and Jack Dailton did not show them all of the monuments, so they told De Biondeau, but instead went from the first monument on the Chilkat Mountains to the remains of a stone house adjacent to the Three Guardsmen Mountain by way of the po- lice trail, which runs through the valley several miles down the mountain side. De Blondeau says that this prevented Emmons from seeing the intervening monuments, two of which have cut gran- ite posts, together with one flve-sided monolith which has a base of seven by eight feet. The Indians declare that these posts were not cut by the Indians, but were erected by Russians for the special pur- pose of marking the boundary. De Blon- deau feels that an immediate investiga- tion should be made to verify his state- ments and thus secure important evi- dence to supplement that of Emmons. De Blondeau laughs at the explanation of Archibald Cameron of Vancouver, who says the monuments are simply remains of stone huts built by Indlan tribes on a neutral line for the purposes of trade. He insists that the Indians would construct such trading posts on a trail in the val- ley below rather than on the rough crest of a mountain range. Pigeon 8iarts the Flames.

NOMINEES PLEND FOR LEPER OTE Close of Hot Campaign on the Hawaiian Islands. HONOLULU, Nov. l1.—Lastnight saw the end of the last week of the most earn- estly contested political campaign Ha- wail has seen. There are practically only two parties in the fleld—the Home Rulers, headed by Delegate to Congress R. W. ‘Wilcox, who is a candidate for re-election and Is indorsed by the Democrats, and the Republicans, led by Prince Cupid Kala- nianaole, nominee for Delegate to Con- gress. Both candidates, accompanied by those who are running for places in the Legis- lature from the varicus d!stricts, have toured the islands with great diligence. The platforms of the two parties are very much the same, demanding that city and county Government be instituted at once, and the principal issue for discus- sfon during the canvass has been a pro- posal by Wilcox to place the leper settle- ment under Federal control. Wilcox sup- ported a bill for this purpose during the last session of Congress, but it is highly the Republicans here have made it an issue. As a result of the introduction of this issue into the campaign, the leper set- tlement vote has been warmly contested for. Both parties have sent delegates to. the settlement, where orators have spoken to the lepers from a piatform within the corral which visitors are com- ! pelled to remain in. The lepers appear to greatly object to the plan of Federal control, feating more stringent regula- tions than the Hawalian Government has imposed upon them. There are about 300 votes at the settlement. Arrangements have been made for the reporting of results to the Re- publican headquarters in Honolulu by | wireless telegraph from the vari- ous f{slands, and the result will be known this time quicker than ever before in Hawail. Instead of having to wait a week or more for final returns, as in the past, it is expected that the people of Hawail will know the results this time in a few hours after the polis close. BOYD MUST FACE SERIOUS CHARGE Hawaiian Superinten- dent of Public Works - Under Arrest. He Is Accused of Embez- gling Money Paid Into His Department. HONOLULU, T. H., Nov. 1.—James H. Boyd, Territorial Superintendent of Pub- lic Works, has been arrested on a warran! charging him with the embezzlement of $1650 of public,funds, making one more scandal added to the series growing out of the defalcations of high officials. The ousting of Boyd makes vacant a third important Territorial office, and has in- volved Governor Dole in another legal tangle as to his power to suspend offi- clals. Boyd was In San Francisco when his chief clerk, B. H. Wright, was arrested on account of alleged embezzlements ag- gregating more than $8000, and when Treasurer Wright absconded with $18,000 of public money, and Auditor Austin was suspended under grave charges. He re- turned here on October 22 and was handed a letter from the Governor notifying him that Secretary Cooper would remain in charge of the works department until certain irregularities had been explained. Boyd’s explanations were the payment of $6307 into the department, which had not been accounted for. Governor Dole advised Boyd by that his explanation where the money had been and how it had been used during the interval when it was not in the public treasury, was “highly unsatisfactory” and asked for an immediate resignation. The Superinténdent's reply was a note stating that he would resume charge of his office. As in the case of Auditor Austin, Gov- ernor Dole placed police on guard to keep Boyd out of his office. On the 23d Boyd appeared at the Capitol building and attempted to enter his office. An officer kept him out and later he returned with his attorney and witnesses and re- newed the effort. There was a violent struggle in the corridor of the building, and then Boyd gave up. He will ask the courts for a writ of mandamus to compel the Governor to allow him to resume charge of the office, claiming that the Governor has mo power to suspend him without the consent of the Senate. The Public Works Department is the most important under the Territorial Gov- ernment, carrying on large contracts and employing many persons. It has several sub-departments under the general su- perintendent, and has general charge of all city work and all public improvements of every sort throughout the islands. Boyd was appointed by Governor Dole during the last session of the Legisla- ture, the Governor's own choice for the position being denied confirmation by the Senate. He had been chief clerk of the department for many years. He is a colonel in the National Guard and is haif Hawaiian. The embezzlement alleged against Boyd is of cash said to have been paid to him on a transaction by which the depart- ment effected an, exchange of lands in Honolulu with Dr. C. B. Cooper, and the latter gave his personal check for $1650 for a difference in values. This was in June last, and the money has not been pald in, according to Deputy Auditor Meyers. Next Monday the November term of the First Circuit Court opens, and the Grand Jury is expected to begin a gen- eral Investigation of all the departments. There are reports of still other defalca- tions to be brought out, and more sensa- tional disclosures are expected. The departmental difficulties leave the administration greatly embarrassed, ow- ing to the doubt as to Governor Dole's power to suspend an official. It s claimed that the act creating a Gov- ernment for the islands is gravely de- fective in this respect. Last Friday Gov- ernor Dole called a number of leading citizens of Honolulu in consultation to discuss the crisis. The appointment of a successor to Willam H. Wright, the absent Treasurer, was discussed. It is understood that the Governor has laid the situation before President Rcosevelt and may receive some instructions as to how to proceed. In the meantime Secre- tary Cooper is in charge of the Depart- ment of Public Works, and the Auditor's office is managed by Deputy Meyers.

High Wave Dashes a Launch Against the Quarters Occu- pied by the Warrior’s | Wife. - Special Correspondence of The Call. HONOLULU, No 1.—The transport Sumner arrived here on’ October 39, en route to San Francisco, with General Adna R. Chaffee and Vice Governor Luke E. Wright of the Philippines on board. The steamer passed through a terrible experience in a typhoon soon after leav- ing Manila. She lost one of her boats and had several damaged, and for a num- ber of hours was in grave danger. Captain Lyman and his officers were unable to stand on the bridge, so terrible was the force of the wind. They handled the ship from the wheelhouse just abaft the bridge. Three of the houses on the deck had their walls on the starboard side stove in by the lifeboats and the steam launch, which were torn from their beds by the fury of the storm and smashed against the houses. Even. the pilot house, highly elevated above the surface of the water as it is, bears the marks of the storm. Numerous - cabin doors were smashed in. The damage done to the hauses has been repaired dur- ing the voyage, but the marks left on the boats are yet in evidence. Captain E. V. Lyman, in his private log, gives a vivid description of the storm, in which he says: 1 wish I could describe the awful scene around the ship. A full moon prevented the pall which covered our world from being of inky hue. We could not see the ship's length away in any direction. The sea rose in mounds of roaring, rushing water, which hurled themselves against the ship as though their only alm was her destruction. As the ship overcame each angry wave which charged upon her from unseen space beyond our worl and went like raving furies in quest of othe victims, hundreds rushed from those unnum- bered ranks bent upon the same mission, to be as euccessfully overcome by the noble ship doing battle for herself and for those she car- ried. During the worst of the gale a sea boarded the ship, striking on the starboard side, smashing No. 7 lifeboat, throwing the steam Jaunch out of her chocks, carrying away chain lashings, tearing beds out of the deck and throwing the launch on her beam ends afoul the side of quartermaster captain's quarters, in which Mrs. Chaffee had been lodged since she came on board. The launch was quite bad- ly stove; so was the starboard quarter boat. The launch and quarter boat can be repaired, but No. 7 lifeboat is past cure, as she is a metal boat. After noon of the 1Sth the wind died out and the confused sea became better. Later light breeze southeast, beautiful weather with a moonlight sea and happy people. In an interview here Governor Wright had the following to say of the conditions in the.Philippines, and their future: } The development following the inauguration of the civil government of the islands have | been most satisfactory. We have now civil government almost everywhere. and the Deo- ple seem to be learning its advantages. The system of provincial and municipal government has worked well. During the past year thers has not been a single defalcation proper and very few thefts. The Government is strictly one of civil service. There is a degree bf peace and safety in the Philippines now that was never reached under the Spanish rule. The Spaniards used to pay the brigands to keep the peace, and we have refused to continue this system. After the passage of the Philippine bill last year we established the insular constabulary, and we now have €000 of these police. We'find that they are the best men for the business and they bave cleared provinces of law .breakers with great rapidity. The service is one which ap- peals to the natives, for the police are chosen from the tribes where they must serve. The future of the islands will be a great ome. What are needed most are rallroads, and these may be built soon by American capital. There is a trunk line on the island of Luzon now under consideration and its buflding will help matters greatly, Governor Wright said also that he con- sidered that the return of the friars was the best thing for the islands, and he expected that the Pope would send a representative to aporaise thé church lands in the Philippines. Probably the most important things in the werld are those that never happen. «“The Perfect Foocl™ For BRAIN and MUSGLE MALTA-VITA, the perfect food for old and young, sick or well.
