Malloy, United Otates Consul KEIIAIIKAHLE STATEMENT OF DU. HAYES. New Yokk, May 11.- Dr. I. I. Hayos, the Arctic explorer, in an interview relativo to tho failura of the Hall expedition, expressed tho opinión that the Pülaris was uniit tbr tue service, and that the injury to the vessi;! was eaused by defeota in her build. Oapt. Hail, sniil the Ductor, was 48-1 miles trom the North Pole. He, Hall, has proven what I have predicted long ago - that Siuüh's Sound was navigable, and was the true passage into the open Polar sea, whieh he seems to huve reached. Why he was driven back I Cannot teil - probably by drit'ting iceiii'lds or gales of wind. But I havo no doubt that he had reached the Polar sea. There is one remark.ible fict about liis explorations. He had constant sunshine all tho time, and the survivors who were driving down the soutli waters were all the i me without a ray of sunshine. I cun't understand why the ship, when it was so near Norlhumberland Island, wouid draw up befora the ice and discharge its cargo ou it. I think there was dissepsion i,n board, and it ooks to me as though this party had been deteri.'iined to leave the ship. There is n mystery about tliis p.trt of the report that I cannot fathoin. I tliink Oapt. Hall has done a glorieus thing. lie has gone farther north with bis sliip thaii any human being did befora htm, although otheie have goue as far in sledgSB. Gapt. Hall deerns to have broken the icebergs of Smitb's Sound, which baifled both previ"■■ i'ilMiíii)üj. i:;k! SU L"-1 ' vi fa mg a pomt wbere both Kane and I eUiimed to have seuu tiie open Polar Sea, in latitude N2 deg. 10 min., the most uortherly latitude ever reached by any ship. liis ship was 21!) miles further north than Kan e's ship. I ean't understand why the survivors were lelt to the uiereiea of the rloc, unless there was diffi cultyon board the goip. Al the outset, at Disco, there was some diffk-uHy between Hall and Buddington. This was setlled by the captain of the Cudktpss. ihero was somotlnr.g veiy niysteiious in üupt. ÏI lil's death. I woaldn't lika to say tliat he was killed by om; of his men in a muliuy, bot it would ahnost look so. L havo nevel kuown of any ono dying in tliat S(.'ctioi), of apoplaxy, nnd Captain Hall eertiiinly did not look like an upoplectic man. I thiuk there is a strong probability tbat thn peopla on board the Polar are safé, and that the vesscl will be back heru by September. The men who deeerted the ship probably did so after Hall's deaih. Ho was a brave and resolute man, and set out with the détermination to reaoh tho North Polo if it. would take Juni live years to do it. He was mie of' the pluckiest men 1 ever saw, ind would certainly have sta ved tw'o yeais to accomplish h"is purpose if detli iiad apared him- death ormurder, Idou't mow whieh.
