WASHINGTON, May l6.-[Speciail-
After weeks waiting some tangible
news was to-day received at tho NAVY
Department from the Charleston. First
camo dispatch from Acapulco stating
that the Gillian insurgent cruiser
Esmeralda had put out of Acapulco har-
Dor yesterday and returned to port to-
day. Later on through tho State De-
partment dispatch came saying that
the Charleston had arrived at Acapulco
and that the Esmeralda was still in
port, but giving no news of the Itata.
what tho next step is to be, no one at
the Department knows or feels free to
tell. Tho Charleston is to take on coal,
as her supply has probably nearly run
out during the weeks chase Whether
tho Esmeralda is to havc tho privilege
of taking coal aboard can not be learned
here, as it is Il matter entirely within
the control OF the Mexican government,

The theory at tho Navy Department.
is that the Charleston, whose comman-
der, Captain Rcmy, has orders admitting
OF large discretionary movements. will
new lilo at or near Acapulco for time,
trusting that the Itata, which is Il slow
seven knot ship, has not yet passed
down tho coast and will try to coal in
that neighborhood. If she is sighted
the Charleston will doubtless try to
seize her. She cannot do this in Mexi-
can waters. so that it would DO neces-
sary to head her Off outside the three
mile limo or IL unsuccessful in that to
follow her to sea when she goes out.
What the Esmeralda will do in tho
meantime is problematical. The gem
cral impression is that tho officers Of
the vessel Will rely moro upon strategy
than force to obtain tho supplies carried
by the ltata and some officers believe
that shc is trying to lure the Charles

Relics of the 1ll-fated "Jeannette.

More remarkable than tho drift Of the
"Jeannettc" itself is the fact that num-
Der Of objects belonging to her or her
crew, were found on an icc-hoe near Ju-
lianshaab, on the southwest coast of
Greenland, just three years after she had
sunk June IS, 1884. Among these
objects the following may be mentioned
here: 1, a list of provisions with the sig
nature of De Long, tho leader Of the
"Jeannette" expedition, written in his
own handwriting; 2, written list Of the
boats Of the "Jeannette;" 3, q pair of
trousers made OF oiled linen, marked
"Louis Noros," which is the name Of one
Of the men saved from the "Jeannette''
and still living
When it was first made known that
these objects had been found, some peo-
pie in America were rather sceptical,
and it was even pretended in American
papers that the whole story was lie.
But how could it be so? What could
the poor Eskilnos of Greenland know
about the "Jeannette" and her fate?
The above mentioned facts speak for
themselves, and need no further test
mony. These objects must have
been left on the foe either near the
place where the "Jeannette" sank OF
somewhere on the route Of her crew
toward the Lena delta. From this re-
gion the foe must have been hoated by
sea currents to tho southwest coast OF
Greenland where it was found.-[ Forum
