Own Explanation Fixed. One of the party who made the trip with Cook to Hamilton, Mont., when he had a dubious meeting with the guide, Barrill, who denied that the doctor had ever completed the ascent of Mount McKinley, said today: “On the way back to the East I asked the doctor what he would do if the University of Copenhagen iuund against him.” “I haven’t thought of that," answered the doctor. "But you must think of it,” said the friend. “Well," answered the doctor, “if the University should find against me, I believe I should go back among the Eskimos of Southern Greenland and try to carry on there such a medical mission as Dr. Grenfell has made famous.” Fortune Already Made. Bluefields, Dec. 2 2.—Estrada won a complete victory over the govern- ment troops at Rama, a total of six hundred of both armies being killed or wounded. Nineteen hundred of Zelaya's men have surrendered, in cluding General Gonzales, who was •in command. Two Americans ara reported killed. Yesterday the forward movement began, detachments being sent out under Generals Uis Mena, Fornos Diaz, Alfredo Diaz, Chamorro and Mntutty. It was General Mena's task, to out flank Gonzales, who directed the de fense of the great body of the Gov ernment troops. These were in Urge numbers and well-entrenched, but Estrada’s followers were armed with the latest equipment and ma chine guns were brought Into play to clear the trenches. Casualties on the Government side were high, the greatest execution being done at Recreo, which the revolutionists finally took by assault. Among those in the revolutionary army were Captain Godfrey Fowler, formerly of the Thirty-third Infantry, U. S. A., who was in command on the firing line. Care for Wounded. Commander Shipley has landed surgeons from the Des Moines to care for the wounded. Commander Shipley has estab lished a hospital on the shore, but has landed no forces, according to later advices. Henry Wellington Wack. ___ Dr. Cook’s lawyer, and the friend who lsauthority fo.r the statement. were asked tonight how much money they thought Dr. Cook had made from the sale of his narrative to news papers in this country and abroad and from his lectures. “Mere than $80000,” said Mr. SPRINGFIELD MAN AND Wack.
