WASHINGTON, December 23.-Ths State
Department has received the following
from James Gordon Bennett with regard
10 the survivors OF the Jeanette:
PARIS, December 23.-Hon. F. j. Free
linehuysen: I have just received the fol.
lowing telegram from my correspondent
at St. Petersburg concerning the party:
General Isnatieff has given orders to
send two new expeditions from Yakuts-
ka in search OF the shipwrecked crew.
and has directed that every available
means be employed to find boat No. 2.
On the 9th OF September, as has already
been told. Melville and ten men were
met by three Yakuts. The Yakuts are
good.natured nomsds, very skilliul IN
caring for disorders and maladies caused
by cold. The party could not have fallen
into better hands. It must be remem-
bered that from Barohoi, where they
were discovered, to Yakutsk. the distance
In 1000 versts, or 400 miles. With no
regular means OF transportation, 1t will
take twenty days to 60 60 there; but az
those who went to the rescue started
three days ago, the time necessary to
find the party and bring them back to
Yakutsk will be about two months. Nor
should II be forgotten that the wherea-
bouts Of Melville and his party is pretty
well known. and that OF DsLong. who
sent forward Nenemendo and Norris, out
OF his party Of thirteen. 10 not known,
and for q succoring expedition to reach
him will take o long time over the coun-
try where there are no roads. The dis
lance from Yakutsk to Iskutsk Is 2SlS
vsrsts, or 1900 miles, with hampersd
postal, which will require at least fifteen
days to transport t%wenty.four persons.
The Governor OF Yakoutsk. General
Ischaernisff, not General Tehernief. OF
Servia, will receive the instructions oil
the government and orders for fresh sI-
petitions in eight days by courier, the
extraordinary travelling Of $50 miles Q
day. There will be nothing further then
from the Jeanette party themselves In
less than three months, az the telegraph
wires do not extend further than lrkutsk.
From Irkutsk 10 st. Petersburg will take
them probably q month, travelling as
rapidly as possible. although they will
probably DO in st. Petersburg by April
and in New York by May. This is oil
the information I have received to date.
In case the government should wish to
communicate directly with the Jean.
nstte, / beg to say that General Onout-
chine, Governor OF Eastern Siberia, 10
not in st. Petersburg. but that his rep.
resentative during his absence 10 Gen.
sral P~edonsenksky. with whom you can
correspond direct. In case any further
news 10 received / shall inform you.
