THE LOST JEANETTE.
The March Across the Ice.

WASHINGTON, October "a - Lieutenant
Danenhower, before the Jeanette court Of
inquiry to-day, resumed his narrative of the
retreat across the fee after the sinking of
the Jeanette. Dunbar, the ice pilot, was
detailed to go ahead, select a road and plant
black flags to show the line of march, and
the proposed arrsr cement was to advance
the boats and provision sleds by short
stages, and as many of them at a time as
practicable. A detail of officers and men
for the start was made September, 1879, and
the final detail at Bennett Island about
August Oh, 1881.
After answering questions as to the
amount the party We're able to carry, what
became OF the two boats saved from the
wreck, and not taken along on the retreat,
and as to the strength OF the boats, ETC., he
was asked:
"Wss your opinion at the time of leaving
the ship that the preparations made for the
retreat were the best that could be madeP
II not, In what respect 10 your Judgment
were the plans inefficient, and what are
your reasons for so thinkine?"
my opinion and judgment at the time was

Were the articles you have mentioned in
the Jeanette, and was their absence from

oversight ?''

LONDON, October 24.-The Standard be-
lieVes the evidence against Arab Pasha is
very strong, and says his correspondence
with the Sultan is highly compromising.
The correspondent of the Daily Neaos at
alexandria telegraphs that he has received
information from Mansourah that there is
much anxiety In many parts of the interior
among the Europeans, owing to the reap
polntment OF several Of Aiabi's officers on
government missions.
The Times has the following from its Cairo
correspondent: 'Arsbi says events have
proved to him the folly of hoping In anv
further national movement, or of trusting
the sultan and that the happiness of Egypt
necessitates the virtusl government of the
country by the English"

cases of yellow fever and five deaths are re-
ported to-day. Total to date 2,O5S cases and
16S deaths. The cool wave which has lasted
several days is passing off without giving us
the coveted frost. The demands of
want and woe for relief increases as the
sickness is prolonged. The fever has crossed
Little 3ayou, two miles from the CITY. A
visit to-day of MIR. Brent, OF the Board of
Health, Major Waltham, and Messrs
1neistra and Leonard to that neighborhood
and some of the slums of the city, revealed
many scenes of misery and suffering
