London cable: The Times’ special from Cannes gives an interview with Stanley, who declares that the statements made by Father Schinze in regard to Stanley’s maneuvering to betray his employers, steal ivory, found an independent kidgdom. etc., could emanate only from a depraved mind. Stanley says Emin was friendly enough until the Germans managed to get control of him. Emin s action. Stanley remarks, is similar to that of De Brazza, who obtained the money for his expedition from King Leopold, and then turned oyer to Franco the results of his labors, made possible by Leopold’s generosity. Stanley is surprised that England should allow the Wissman enterprise to be carried on without making a protest. The North German Gazette devotes considerable space to the Stanley-Emln dispute. The article condemns Stanley and highly praises Emin. The French Geographical society opposes the idea of a public reception to Stanley. The grounds of the objection are that Stanley’s recent enterprises have been of a purely commercial character and that he treated with disdain the more scientific aims of De Brazza. Emin Pasha starts for the interior of Africa next week. He has openly declared that the principal reasons for his entering the German service are his disappointment at his treatment by his former supporters and his resentment of the manner In which he has been misrepresented In Stanley’s s~»«ches.
