GREELY AND HIS PARTY SUPPOSED TO HAVE SUPPLIES ENOUGH TO LAST TILL NEXT SUMMER—OFFRRS OF LIEUT. DANENHOWER ASD CAPT. TYSON TO GO TO THEIR RELIEF, The supplemental orders given by Gen. Hazen to Lieut. Garlington, just before the departure of the relief expedition from St. Johns last summer, dl- recting that the Proteus should land her stores, except supplies for more northerly depots, at Lit- tleton island, on her way north, were published in THE STaR yesterday. From all the information thus far received it would appear that Licut. Gar- lington either disregarded or found it tmpractica- ble to obey these supplemental orders, GREELY’S FOOD SUPPLIES. Gen. Hazen’s orders to Lieut. Garlington stated that the food supply of Lteut. Greely’s party would all be exhausted during the present fall, but it ts said at;the signal office that this was. an ex-. treme statement based upon the most unfavorable supposition as to the amount of consumption, Waste, loss, etc., and did not allow for any care or economy in the use of food or any increase of the available supply by means of hunting and fishing. It was a statement of the worst possible aspect of the case, Intended to emphasize the necessity of relieving Lieut. Greely’s party at once. It is posl- tively asserted, therefore, by the acting signal Officer that, notwithstanding the contrary state. ments in Gen, Hazen’s order to Lieut. Garlincton, Lieut. Greely has provisions enough at Lady Frank. lin Bay station tolast him uotil the summer of 1884 I he remains there until that time, If, how- ever, aS seems more probable to the authorities here, he should have abandoned his station on the first of September and retreated down the coast of Gunnell Lanito the mouth of Smith’s sound, expecting to find there a relief party and a depot of stores, his situation may shortly become critical WHAT SECRETARY LINCOLN SAY3, Secretary Lincoln sali last night that the ques- tion how best to get rellef to the Greely party had been discussed at the department yesterday. He, however, had little hope that anything could be done this year. He thought it would be useless to senda party up this fall with the certainty of their having to winter several hundred miles from Greely’sstation without means of traverst ng that intervening distance, when by waiting until next summer. a party could be sept that would make just a8 00d progre;s, He, sald, however, that if it were shown that reliéf could be sent to the Greely mo @xpense nor pains would be spared to relieve them. . CAPT. TYSON'S OFFER. Capt. Geo. E. Tyson, who has offered hisservices to command ane xpedition to the northern seas for the relief of the Greely party, as stated In yes- terday’s Star, has had a long and trying expe- Tience in arctic navigation, as his letter to Sec- Tetary Lincoln will show, He was assistant sall- ing master of the Polaris, sent out by this govern- ment, and which met her doom amid the icebergs, He, with ntneteen others, drifted on an iceberg, at the mercy of the wind and tide for 196 days, traveling 1,800 miles.

Mr. Taggart asked that the defendant be held for bail forthe action of the grand Jury, stating that by his own admissions there was a case against him.
