The Jeanette Survivors

WASHINGTON, Feb. 20.-Secretary Hunt to-
day received a letter from Mr.. Hoffman, at st.
Petersburg, acknowledging the receipt of his
telegram in reference to measures to be taken
for the relief of the survivors of the Jeanette,
and for tho continuance of the search for others
and giving more in detail the particulars here
tofore received by telegraph in reference to the
condition of Lieut.. Danenhower and his party,
at Irkutsk, from which it appears that the
reason why engineer Melville is now placed in
command of the party was because of physical
incapacity of Lieut.. Danenhower to perform
the duties of the office as in addition to having
lost his eye sight, his terrible stfiicton had
caused temporary alteration of mind. 1t is
now believed that Danenhower has fully recov-
cred his reason and that his general health
as well as that of other members of his party
is being gradually restored.
