ESPECIAL TO THE SENTINEL.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 6.-Nearly 100 navy
officers have made application by letter or
telegraph, or by the help of influential
friends. to the Secretary Of the Navy, to be
ordered to go in search Of belong and the
missing boats Of the Jeanette. Many ap-
plicants are officers on active duty, or on
leave, and the general zeal to go to the
rescue of the Jeanette is highly creditable
10 the spirit Of the Navy. The Secretary
Of the Navy has received the following
cable from James Gordon Bennett at Paris:
Permit me to suggest in reference to the
request Of Lieutenant D~anenhower. to go
back and continue the search, that in view
Of his condition he should be ordered
home. II he returns to the north, there
is a strong possibility Of his losing his eye
sight entirely, but on his way home he
could have the best medical attention,
and regain the use Of both Of his eyes.
Nor does it seem to me necessary to send
line officers from America. It would only
put the Government to unnecessary ex-
pense. As I have already tent q man, who
ia now on his way to Irkutsk, and Siberia
koff having kindly placed his steamer, the
Lena, at my disposal, the search for De-
Long and Chip can, with the assistance
OF the Russian authorities and natives, be
continued with all possible energy and ef-
| iciency at the earliest possible moment.
II Danenhower and the invalids under his
| charge are ordered home. / will see that
they have all possible care and the best Of
medical advice on the way. l make this
suggestion entirely without Danenhower's
knowledge.
(Signed) JAMES GORDON BENNETT.
The Secretary of the Navy cabled Ben
nett in reply that he had sent orders for
the return home of Lieutenant Danen-
hover, in accordance with Benefits sug-
gestion, and that he had already ordered
two off GERS to Europe to take part in the
search for Commander belong and Lieu
tenant Chip, and that he thinks this
necessary in case Of accident to Engineer
| Melville, and as a matter Of duty from the
navy to its officers and men in distress.
Lieutenant HARDER and Master Schietze,
detailed to search for the survivors Of the
lost Jeanette. sailed from New York on
Saturday for Europe.

A Liberal or Antf.Bourbon Party
I'm the south.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 6.-The indications
are that the Administration believes in the
policy Of putting Federal officers where
they will do the most good for the party.
None but Republicans Of good standing
are getting appointments now, even for
minor Postofices. From every Southern
State there ia q small clique Of Republic
cans here. manipulating the appointments
OF those States respectively, with the ex-
ception OF Virginia. Mahone's influence
with the Administration is too potent for
any Republican to compete successfully
with him. Indeed, Mahone's influence ID
not confined to Virginia. The stalwart
Republicans from other Southern States
are glad to secure his assistance In their
efforts to get offices. The President seems
very much impressed with the necessity
for q liberal or snti-Bourbon party In the
South. and the ofice-seekers from that
section are all advocates OF that policy.
It is the purpose Of the Republican party
to make coalitions wherever they can to
advantage in the approaching Congress.
sional elections in the South, and the Ad-
ministration favors this plan. They
expect in this way to offset possible
Democratic gains in the South.
