FROM STANLEY DIRECT. An Interesting Letter From the Greet African Explorer. Detain or HU Xarak Thronglt the Dark Continent—Hostile Natives, Famtae. aa4 other TMmHwIm •f It* Trams*

Losnos, Appil 3.—-Sir Francis da Win* ton, chairman of the Emin , Bey relief committee, has made public the letter which he receiTed Monday from Henry M. Stanley. It is dated Bungaugeta Island, on the Arnwhimi, August 28, 1888. After confirming his short dispatch of August 37, already l-eceived, he says he has established a palisade camp at Yambuya on the Lower Arnwhimi. just below the first rapids, and appointed Barttelot commandant, with Jamieson associated with him. On the arrival of the men and goods from Stanley IPOol and Bolobo. the officers were to rejiort to Bartellott for duty, but no important aetion was to be taken without consulting Messrs. Jamieson, Troup and Ward. The officers admitted that the instructions were explicit and clear. Bartellott had 375 men. He was to stay until the steamer arrived from Stanley Falls with men and goods, and if Tippoo Tib furnished the carriers promised, he was to march, following the track biased out by Stanley's advance column. If the carriers did not arrive, Bartellott was to disregard these directions and begin short journeys until Stanley should come down to his relief. Stanley’s column set out June 38, 1887, from Yambuya with 389 officers and men. On the first day the natives they met fired their villages and began fighting. The skirmish lasted only fifteen minutes. The natives continued for five days along the march to impede the advance in every way they knew of, but not a man of Stanley's party was lost The party reached the river again on July 5, and from that time till October 18, followed the left bank. After seventeen day1 s continuous marching, they halted one day for rest On the twenty-fourth day they lost two meu by desertion. They made only four halts in July. On August 1 the first death occurred. It was from dysentery. They now entered a wilderness which it took nine days to march through. Their sufferings began to increase, and several deaths occurred. The river helped them, as the canoes relieved the men of much of their burdens. On the 13th, on arriving at Airsibba, the natives attacked them, and five men were killed by poisoned arrows. Lieutenant Stairs was wounded near the heart, aud suffered greatly for a month before re

covering. On August 15, Mr. Jepson, commanding the land party, got too far inland, and was lost. His contingent rejoined the main party on the fist On the 15th they arrived in the district of Airjeli, and camped for a while opposite the month of of the tributary >'epoko. On August 51 the -party fell in with a caf$fean of Manyema nuder Uledy-Baly us. Ttip was most unfortunate, as Stanley had taken the route he did in order to avoid the Arabs. As expected, several of his men were tampered with by the Arabs, and within three days twenty-six had deserted. On September 15, Stanley arrived at the tamp, opposite TTgarrowwas. He could not rely on friend),y relations with the chief, and Anally made a trade with him, leaving fifty-six sick men with him, and five dollars apiece was to be paid the chief for taking care of them. Three days later Stanley left, and on October IS reached a settlement belonging to Kilingalonga, a Zanzibarese slave of Abed Ben Salim, the fierce old Arab who has made so much trouble in the •Congo Free State. Stanley says: “This proved an awful mouth to us. Sot one member of our expedition, white or black, will forget it. Out of the SS) meu with whom we had started, we lost sixty-six by desertion and death between Yambuya and Ugarrowwas, and left fifty-six sick at the Arab station. On reaching KiUngalonga, we found we had lost fiftyfive more men by starvation and desertion. We had lived principally on wild fruit and nuts. Abed Ben Salim's slaves did their utmost, short of open hostilities, to ruin the expedition. They induced the meu to sell rifles and clothing, so that when we left we were beggared, and the men nearly naked. We were too weak to carry the boat and seventy loads pf goods, and we left them at Kilingalonga, under Surgeon Parke and Captain Nelson, the latter of whom was unable to march. After marching twelve days we reached lbwirt. The Arabs had devastated the whole country, so that not a native hot was standing at Ibwlri. What had not been destroyed by slaves of Abed Ben Salim the elephants ruined, so that the whole region was turned into a horrible wilderness. But at Abwlri we were beyond the teach of the destroyers, in a populous region abounding with food. Our sufferings from hunger, which began Ahgnst 31, terminated November IS. Ourselves and men were skeletons. Out of the 3t» men we numbered 171, and several of these had no hope of life left. A halt was ordered for the people to recuperate. Hitherto they were skeptical of what we had told them. Their suffering had been so awful, the forests so endless, that they refused to believe that by and by we would see plains, and cattle, and the Nyania. and the white man, Emin Pasha. We felt as though we were dragging them along with a chain around our necks. “Beyond these hardships,” said we. “the country is untouched, where food is abundant, nod where you will forget your miseries; so cheer up, hoys, be men! press on a little faster!” They were deaf to our prayers and entreaties, for, driven by hunger and suffering. they sold their rifles and equipments, for a few ears of Indian corn, deserted with the ammunition, and were altogether demoralized. Perceiving that prayers and entreaties and mild punishments were of no avail, 1 then resorted to visiting upon the wretches the death penalty. Two of the worst cases were accordingly taken and hanged in the presrace of olL We halted thirteen days in Ibwiri and reveled on fowls, goats, bananas, corn, sweet potatoes, yams, beans, etc. The supplies were inexhaustible. The people glutted themselves. The result was that 1 had 173 sleek and mostly robust men when I set out tor Albert Nyanaa on November 34. (One man had been killed by an arrow.) We were still Iff) miles from tike lake, but with food the distance seemed nothing. On December 1 we sighted the open country from the top of the ridge, which was named Mt. Pisgah because it was our flrst view of the land of promise and plenty. December 5 we emerged on the plains, and the gloomy, deadly forest was behind us. After MO days gloom we saw the tight of day, i every thing beautiful. We had never seen grass ao green or country so lovely. The men leaped for joy, and ran with their burdens to KUongasougas. On December » we cams to the country of Chief Maxomboai. The natives sighted us, and were prepared. We seized a kill as soon as we arrived in the center of amaaa of villages about 4 pm, December % occupied it end built a mari- _ mi fast as we ft. The hill to hill People gathered by hu

The night passed peacefully. In the morning we opened » parley. The natives were anxious to know who we were, and we were equally anxious to glean news. They said Maaamboni only held the country for Kabbarega, who was their real King. They finally accepted cloth and brass rods to show Maxamboni, and hostilities were suspended until morning, when Maaamboni sent word that we must be drfren from the land. The proclamation was greeted in the valley with deafening cheers. Their word Kanwana signifies peace, and Kunrana war. We hoped we had heard wrongly, therefore, ^md sent our interpreter to inquire. Twey responded “Kurwona,” and emphasised it with two arrows fired at him. Our hill was between two Talleys. I sent forty men under Lieutenant Stairs to attack the natives in one valley, and llilj under Mr. Jepson into tho other valley. Stairs crossed a deep river in the face of the natives, assaulted the first village and took it. The sharp-shooters did effective work and drove the natives back up the opposite slope until the fight became general. Jepson also drove the natives in front of him. We marched straight up the valley, driving back the people and taking villages as we went At 3 p, m. not a native was visible anywhere except on one small hill a mile and a half west On the morning of the 19th we eontiutinned our march. Curing the day we had four little fights. On the 13th we marched straight east, and were attacked by new forces every hour until noon, when we halted for refreshments. At 1 p. m. we resumed our march, and fifteen minutes later I cried: ‘‘Prepare for a sight of the Syauxat” The men murmured and doubted me, and said: “Why does master continually talk this way? JJvansa indeed! Is -not this a plain, and can we not see the mountains?” But fifteen minutes later, and after our four days’ march, the Albert Nyanza was below them. All came to kiss my hands in recognition of my prophesy. Our position was S.30O, feet above the sea—the lake 9,950 feet below os. We were in latitude 1:20. The south end of Jiyauza lay mapped out south of this position. Bight across to the eastern shore was the tributary, Lanilika, flowing from the southwest As we descended, the nativM^^kundred feet below poured in on us, biSWfeir primitive style of fighting did not delay ns. The rear guard fought them till we were within a hundred feet of the plain where we camped. We were attacked during the night but we drove the attaokers away. At nine o’clock next morning we reached the Tillage of Kakongo, but were unable to make friends with the inhabitants. They wouldn’t be friendly because, hav- | ing never heard of a white man. they feared we would scare their cattle away, j They wouldn’t accept any presents or indeed have any thing to do with ns, though they were perfectly civil. They gave ns water, but nothing else. They showed ns the path, and we camped half a mile from the lake. My couriers from Zanaiber evidently had not arrived, or Emin Pasha would have arrived at the southeast shore of the lake. My boat was one hundred miles distant, and there, was no tree in sight targe enough to make a canoe. We had used nearly all of our remaining ammunition in the five days’ fight on the plain, and a long fight must exhaust our stock. There w»s no feasible plan except to retreat to Ibwiri. build a fort, and send for stores and ammunition, sending the boat to search for Emin. This plan, after a long discussion, was resolved upon.

On the 15th we marohe^Wo K»nli, on the west side of the ltts In theufternpou the Kakongo natives shot arrows Into oar bivouac. We resumed the iharch by night, and by 10 a. m. the Ittth wS^d gained the crest of the plateau, the natives following us until they became tired. We lost one man killed, and one wounded. On January ? we were in Ibwiri again. Lieutenant Stairs being sent to Kilongalongas to bring stores. Only eleven men were brought into the fort out of thirtyeight sick, the rest having died or deserted. Soon after Stairs' departure, I was attacked with gastritis and an abscess on the arm. I recovered, and after fortyseven days set out for Albert Nyanxa on April A Captain Nelson was left in command of Fort Beddo. April as we again arrived in Mosambine's country. Moxambiae's example was taken by the other chiefs, and we had little further difficulty, so that| we lived royally. One day's march from Nyanxa the natives came from Kavali saying that a white man named Malejja had given . their chief a black packet to give to Stanley and asking him to follow them. They remained that night telling wonderful stories, which convinced Stanley that this white man was Emin Pasha. The next day they met Chief Kavali and he handed Stapley a note from Emin Pasha, which was to the effect that there had bean a rumor that a white man had been seen at the south end of the lake. Be had gone in his steamer to make inquiries, but had been unable to obtain any reliable information. However, he had heard that Stanley was in Mosam bine’s country, and he begged him to remain where he was until he could communicate with him. the note was signed “Dr. Emin," and dated March 26. The next day, April 2B, a strong force took a boat to the Nyanxa, and, on the 26th, they sighted Mawa station, the southernmost station belonging to Emin Pasha, and were hospitably received by the Egyptian garrison. They were hailed as brothers. Stanley then continues: “April 29 we once again reached the bivouac ground occupied by us on December 16, aad at 6 p. m. of that date I saw the Khedive's steamer steaming toward us. At 7 p. m. Ernie Pasha arrived at out camp where he was heartily welcomed by us. We were together until May 25. On that day 1 left him. Fourteen days later I was at Fort Bodo, where were Captain Nelson and Lieutenant Stairs. The latter had returned from Ugarrowwas twen-ty-two days after I had set out for the lakes, bringing with him only sixteen men out of fifty-tin. All the rest were dead. My twenty couriers whom 1 had sent with letters to Major Bartellott had safely left Cgarrawwas for Tambuya on March 16. Fort Bodo was flourishing—forty acres under cultivation. Jans 161 left Fort Bodo with 111 Zanaibarese aad 101 of Emin's people. Lieutenant Stairs had been appointed commandant of the fork Nelson was second in command, aad Surgeon Parke medical officer. The garrison consisted of fif ty-cine rifles. I had thus deprived myself of all my officers In order that I should not be encumbered with baggage and provisions and medicines, which would have to be taken or accompanied by Europeans, and every oarrier was necessary tor the vast stores which had been left with Bartellott June 34 we reached Cgarrowwas. The latter station was deserted. Baring gathered as much ivory as he could obtain from that district, Bartellott had proceeded down the river three months before. On leaving Bodo I had loaded every carrier with about sixty pounds of corn, and we went through the wilderness ntsscatchsd, passing down the river, aad daily expecting to meet carriers who had -v, str' j&BsSy&j ■’-V- ^

August n wo mot the roar column of the expedition at Bauallya. Mr. Bonner met me and told me of Bartellott’s death, and that Jamieson had gone to Stanley Palls for more men, and Mr. Troop had gone home sick. I found the rear column a terrific wreck. Out of 857 men only sev-enty-one remained, and of these only fif-ty-three were fit for service, and these were mostly scarecrows. According to Bonner, during the fourteen months since I left, the record had been one of disaster, desertion and death. Many of the details seem incredible. There remain still far more stores than C can carry, at the same time articles needfhl are missing. Deserters had spread the report that I was dead, and the officers accepted the report and agreed to cancel my instructions. They accordingly sent my personal kit, medicines, soap, candles and provisions down the Congo as superfluities. Thus, after my immense sacrifices to relieve others, 1 find myself naked and deprived of even necessaries. But, strange to say, I have kept two hats, four pe*r of boots, a flannel jacket, and t propose to go back to Emin Pasha and across Africa with this truly African kit. On returning here we lost only three men, one by desertion. Ont of the 357 men! left, only seventy-one remain, and one of these will die. This great loss shows that, despite the sufferings on the march, the mortality was not so great as in camp. The survivors of the march are all robust, while the survivors of the rear column are thin and most unhealthy looking.

xne party passeu »w/ tiays guiug uuyugu one continuous forest. Stanley estimates its area at 518,000 square mites. Between Yambuya and Nyanxa fire distinct tan* guages were spoken by the natives. Fifty miles before reaching Nyanxa they saw a "mountain about 18.000 feet high, its summit covered with snow. Referring to Emin Pasha, Stanley says the Pasha has two battalions, one of 750 men, and the other 610. He is keeping up a line of commun ieation along die Nyaax» and the Kile, about 180 miles in length. In the interior, west of the Nile, he retains three or four small stations. Alto* gether he has with him about 8,000 people^ _ including women and chileren. On May 1,1888, Emin Pasha came ashore from his steamer and had a long talk with Stanley. Emin said he had decided that it was best that his party should retire from where they were. The Egyptians were willing to leave. But of the regulars composing the two battalions, Emin had some doubt as to their willingness t® leave. They had led such a happy Ufe. and would demur at leaving a country where they hare enjoyed luxuries the^ can not command in Egypt. The soldiers are married and severed have harems. Emin feared that if left behind all discipline among them would end; the more ambitious among them would aspire to become chiefs by force, and from these rivalries would spring hate aud slaughter until none were left. Stanley's letter concluding follows: The Pmma proposed to visit Fort Bodo, taking Mr. Jepson with him. At Fork Bodo I hare left instructions to the offl- j cers to destroy the fort and accompany the Pasha to Nyanxa. 1 hope to meet them all again on the Nyanxa, as I intend to make a short cat to Nyanxa.

ORDERED TO SAMOA. Th« German Vnmla Sent «• Take the rum of Thom Keeeutljr I.ost at Apia. Washington, April A—The German ships Alexandrine and Sperber, which have been ordered to Samoa to take the places of the wrecked vessels, are both new war-ships. The Alexandrine was built in 183. She has a displacement of 2.3T3 tons; is 233 feet lone, 43 feet beam, draws IS feet 4 inches of water, and has an indicated horse-power of 2,400, , giving her a speed of fifteen knots per hour. Her armament is all modern, and consists of twelve 15-centimeter breechloading rifles of three and one-half tons each; two S'i-inch nine-hundred weight, and four small guns and one Fish torpe-do-discharger. She is rigged as a torvettc. The Sperber has just been finished. She _ ^ is a cruiser of 1,120 tons, with a speed of fourteen and one-half knots per hour, and, ___ an armament of eight 4.13-inch Krupp “ rifles; four Hotchkiss revolving guns, and two torpedo-dischargers. While the German vessels are far superior to the United States ships ordeied to Samoa, so far as speed and armament are concerned, they do not compare in size with the latter. At close range the American vessels might be able to cope successfully with the Alexandrine and tho Sperber. _ _ __ , FEARS FOR THE CALLIOPE. The British War Ship Calliope Tkat ■*- •ape* the Apia Typhoou I*»t Tet Meant From, and Sou. Anxiety Felt. Washington, April A—If aval officers are somewhat surprised that nothing has yet been heard of the British war-ship Calliope, which left the harbor of Apia during the hurricane that destroyed the American and German vessels. The Calliope has had ample time to reach Sydney, her supposed destination, hut her arrival has not yet been announced; so ft is fair to presume that she has i*»t reached that port The dispatch sent to the State Department from Berlin by Minister Pendleton stated that the Calliope was badly damaged, and if this bo true, there is a probability that she may have gone down or been seriously disabled by the hurrieane. Naval officers think that the Calliope would not have sailed to Sydney on such short notice, particularly when her presence was needed at Samoa to protect British interests there. They think, too, that if she escaped the storm in safety, she would have gone hack to Apia, to see if assistance was needed by the other vessels there { and that if, on the other hand, she had been disabled, she would hardly have gone to Sydney for repairs when Apia was so near.
