Stanley seems to contain SPECIFIC charges against
these for the present we viii say nothing because
the alleged statement requires to be verified, put
objection can be raised TO evidence offered by Dr. Kirk
himself ana there are one or two passages in his
letters to the Rev. Charles New, the missionary OF
which seem to us to lend weight to the disagree,
able suspicious referred to. In informing Mr.. New
that Lieutenant Dawson nad made up his mind to

From the Diario dc 10 Marine, Havana August Al
The misunderstanding expedition fitted out and
organized by the NEW YORK HERALD to search for
the celebrated DR.. Livingstone has given results
that may well be considered marvellous. Mr..
Stanley, under whose management the perilous
journey was accomplished, Is now in Europe, and
has commenced the publication of several letters
nom Dr. Livingstone OF which he was the bearer.
The HERALD promises that they shall be published
In London simultaneously with their appearance In
New York, as transmitted by cable With the desire
kfolu
enects Of this truly marvellous undertaking, which,
according to the truthful expression Of Edinburg
journal, reminds one forcibly Of the famous travels
Of Marco Polo and vasco de Cana, we will mention
only the last events which eliminated in the inter-
view Of the valiant Stanley with Dr. Livingstone.
On leaving Unyanyembe on the 23d Of June, 1871
with the determination Of pressing on to the north
Stanley encountered Mirambe Of Nyassa to whom
s Ser caravans nn might Allowed p rs
through his territory, Stanley resolved to make
mics Of Mirambo. and tho chief seeing this, had
subsequently to retire, leaving the field in the pos
session Of the allied travellers This dfaculty over
could do to close his ears to the ter
rible representations in which the Arabs per-
sisted In order to dissuade him from his
journey to Ujiji but on the Sd OF November, four
months after his departure from Unyanyembe,
after Drawing thousand dangers and undergoing
great hardship, he saw his efforts crowned with
success, tnOugn not without having 10 appeal 10
other means to enjoy 1t. When the huts Of Ujii ap-
peared In the distance IL was deemed expedient to
announce his arrival, like successful commander,
with something that should prove impressive to
the natives, and to that end he formed procession,
fired a salute Of musketry and making demon
stratton which awakened the inhabitants, who i'm
mediatey came out to receive him in great num-
bers, filling the air with the deafening sounds and
disgusting noise OF their internal musical instru-
ments. This was the great moment Of real danger
to the traveller, Stanley and proved the &C.
verest test OF his sdnGf,'otd for among
race, pale, and with gray beard whose attitude
contrasted strangely with the queer-visaged in
dividuals surrounding him. 1t was DR.. Living
stone; and a. Stanley approached and satisfied
himself Of his identity we can well understand his
difficulty In REFRESHING the Joy that at this moment
animated him after the exchange OF a few phrases.
Such Is the history OF the famous meeting. The
NEW YORK HERALD and, portion OF the European
press have presented this undertaking in the most
romantic terms in order to satisfy the emotions OF
modern society but the facts, without denying the
Importance or the great work, with the tran
scendence Of the discoveries OF DR.. Livingstone,
and In which he has been so long engaged, scarcely
merit all the noise made. Dr. Livingstone, 1t Is
said, will remain two years longer in Africa.
