The Search for the Missing jeanette.

A RECENT San Francisco telegram says:
The naval officers composing the Jeanette
Relief Board have completed their work and
submitted their report to the Secretary of the
Navy. 1t is expected that the instructions by
the Navy Department to Lieutenant Berry, Of
the relief steamer Mary and Helen, will vary
little, If any, from the recommendations of
the report. After reviewing the course
which it was known the Jeanette intended
to pursue and the circum stances under
which she was last seen, the report reconl-
mends that the Mary and Helen should leave
San francisco about June l, to arrive at Her
aid Island the middle Of August. She
should visit on the way Petropaulovsky for
arctic clothing. dog sleds and dog food;
thence to st. Michaels, to St. Lawrence
Bay, to East Cape, to Cape Serge Car.
rim, to JOHNSON Bay, to Herald lslS
and; thence to the southeast coast of
Wrangle's Land to seek for cairns or other no
tices from the Jeanette and examine the
coast Of Siberia near the Theuktsch villages.
If necessary the steamer should winter at some
harbor on the southern or southeastern end of
Wrangles Land, or on the Siberian coast as
near as possible to Wrangle's Land, so as to
make slcdge journeys to the east coastlof
Wrangies Land. They should not remain in
the Arctic more than one winter. The instfuc-
lions should be given subject to the discretion
of the commander. The relief vessel Mary and
Helen is described in the report as new and
strong, with a speed of eight knots under
steam and fast under canvas. She is the only
vessel that could be procured for the purpose.
was specially built for Arctic navigation and,
with some necessary strengthening, is the best
means in reach of the Government. The re-
port closes with an expression Of belief that
the Jeanette should be considered safe until

CHARLES HEATH has made an add.

CHARLES HEATH has made an addi-
tional statement to the Boston papers, re-
garding the burning Of his plantation build
ings in Caldwell Parish, La, referred to by
Senator Dawes .in his recent speech. He
says Judge Bridger, who isquoted as discred.
iting his (Heath's) statement, is in sympa-
thy with his enemies, and that Woolew, the
man selected to appfaise the property,
is a half-brother to one of his
most relentless persecutors. Per contra,
the New Orleans Democrat publishes
Judge Bridger's statement, which is
Endorsed and corroborated by parish
officials, and also by prominent citizens said
to be of both political parties. 1t is alleged
that the Heath place was assessed at only
s., 500 and was mortgaged for Sill 900. The
improvements destroyed by fire were APP
praised at only $1,4O0, but insured for s, 900.
The opinion is said to be general that the
place was burned to recover the insurance
poney.
