TIE LOSS or THE RODGERs.

| THE IROQUOIS TO BE SENT To BRING BACK THE
OFFICERS AND CREW.
| WASHINGTON, April l9-Ihe Navy Department
has been informed OF the loss of tho United States
| steamer ROigers by James Gordon Bennett who fur
nishes "a copy of the cable message received from
| Mr. Jackson The HcraM commissioner, dated at
Irkutsk, Siberia, April Is. This is the only infor-
nation so far as received at the Department in ref
erence to the Rodgers. 1t has been decided to send
the United States steamer lrOquois, at Mare
Island California to the relief of the officers and
crew of the Rodgers at once, and to that end Secre
tary Chandler has telcgraphed to the commandant of
the Mare Island Yard to ascertain how soon the
| Iroquois can be started for the Arctic Sea. The
Iroquois has just been fitted out for sea. and was
only put in commission last week She was to join
the Pacific Sunadron. and would have started for
Panama in short time.
From records at the Navy Department it appears
that the Rodgers entered the Arctic Ocean on the
2Oth of August last. and explored Wrangell Land
and Herald Island without finding any trace of the
missing Jeanette A. Trapka, near Cape Serdze,
which is on the extreme northeast coast of Siberia
very near Behring Strait, house was built. and a
party of six, under Master e. +. Putnam, was left

visions and clothing and dogs, sledges, etc., for
searching TIC coast. The Rodgers returned to st.
Lawrence Bay on tue 10TH OF October for the WIN
ter 1t was there she was destroyed by fire.
The officers and crew naturally went across the
country to Cape Serdze, to the camp of their com
rades, where they would find ample shelter and pro
visions Charts of the polar regions
show a number Of settlements in the vicinity of
Trapka. which is only short distance from Cape
SeIdZp. There way of cOmmuni ca tpn with
this country other than by the route taken by the
courier across to Russia Behring Strait was i'm
passable
1t is not known when the Rodgers was lost. but it
must have been early IN the winter Judging from
the distance travelled by The UcrGH correspondent
Glider. from Cape Scrdzr ncary LOO miles to
Verchojansk on the lena River. east OF the Lena
River. NcrchOansk IS about 400 miles north of
