TERsBuKG-sTATE or THEIR HEALTH.
LoNpoN, MAY "A dispatch 30 th'
STANDARD from 50. Petersburg says will
reference 10 Lieutenant Dancnhower's ar
rival: "Allfhe party appear in good bodily
health but Cole, who Is completely out OF
his mind. At times he had 10 be kept
from attacking Dancnhowor and his com
rades by the cXertiOns OF n Cossack
who accompanied the party all the
way from Irkutsk. Lieutenant Danen-
hover suffers from weakness OF sight,
and has to keep himself as much as posi-
bic in the dark. lie hopes, however, that
his sight will return and that he will regain
his usual strength A. soon rs he gets into
warmer chimes and can receive the a;tcn-
tion Of \ skilled oculist. According 10
Lieutenant Dauenhower's opinion, Captain
DE Long and his comrades must have
landed within a very few miles OF inhabited
settlements. and were probably misled by
inaccurate maps into taking a direction
INTO the wilderness, where they are now
being sought for"
sUFFERNGs OF THE EXPLORES.
"The story Of the sunerincs OF Danen-
hover and his comrades before and after
leaving the Jeanette is too long TO relate
here. When they landed their legs were so
swollen and frost-btten That they were
obliged almost 10 crawl on their hands and
knees untilthe could get fuelto light fires.
roth DanenhOwcr and Cole were noted
among the party for strength and yig0r.
lieutenant Danenhower thinks of reading
paper before the Geographical Society on
the subject Of the possibilities OF trade
ON the northern coast Of Siberia, rs he
thinks the seas have been much miSun-
dersfood. He i loud in his praises Of the
excellent treatment which he received from
oil the Russians. both officials and civilians,
and has evidently not been weaned from
his ambition for Arctic exploration by the
Lardships and priyations which he has had
10 undergo
pANENuOwER'S EYESIGHT.
The Times correspondent telegraphs:
.nanenbower i still suffering i'm his ewes,
otherwise he is in good health. lie has
had no less than five operations performed
on his left eve. Both are now so weak
that even with blue glasses and Il green
shade he cannot remain long in either sun
or gas-light.'
JACK COLES INSANITY.
"Tbe most distressing ease is that Of
Cole. who had to be watched narrowly day
and night ever since landing at the mouth
of the Lena. 4 CosSack has kept watch
over him all the way from Irkutsk. Mental
arrangement first showed itself while in
the boat leaving the ship. At times he
becomes violent and threatens the Lieu
tenant. At MasichanSk lac dashed at Lieu
tenant Eisenhower with knife, and he
fore he could be secured wounded the
Lieutenant slightly in the hand. 1t is
bopcd. however that the influences OF
F,,.ft 4 fo-
ward his recovery. The Chinese steward
is apparently in robust health"
TIE NATURALIST.
The fourth member of the parry, the
naturalist NeWcomb, who has also success
fully withstood 30 many hardships and pri-
yation,. remained one day longer at Mos
COW. Lieutenant Dnenhower gives no
hope that DE Long and his men will be
found alive in the wilderness east of the
Obi. where Engineer Melville and parties
are now on search. not more than twenty
miles from the spot where De Long and
his comrades are believed to have landed.
