The Survey for Submarine Cable BE.
tween the United states and Japan.
Commander George E. Belknap. commanding
the United States steamer Tuscarora, reports to
the Navy Department, under date OF August 80,
that he expected to proceed TO sea from San Fran
cisco on September 2, on the special service OF sur
veyng a route for a submarine cable from the west
coast OF the United States to China and Japan.
The survey will commence from some point in the
vicinity of Puget Sound, From that place the Tus-
carora will proceed to the Aeutan Islands, and 1.
Is expected she will reach the island OF Atcha 1t
Ia not probable that much progress will
be made in the survey this season,
as the weather will soon be unIavorable Tor it. In
that case the vessel will be employed until spring
in getting the continental outline between San
Francisco anu the end OF the California Peninsula,
sounding on and on shore until she ascertains the
true ocean bed. An experience will thus be OBJ
tanned which will enable her to execute her orders
with more certainty. An oficial report from Com
mander Belknap states that ne has new sound
ing apparatus, made the plan of Sir william
Thompsons, and he has no doubt OF the success OF
the survey. At Pugets Sound he Will first ascer-
tain the most favorable spot to land the cable,
his efforts being TO secure one where the
water is deepest and where vessels do not anchor.
Late advices received at the War Department re-
port the United States ste amer Canandaigua still
at Kingston, Jamaica the health OF the crew not
having improved by the change as satisfactorily as
was expected She will be relieved and ordered
TO some Northern port, instead OF being sent back
