The New York herald., 1872-08-20

cedlng number the details OF the meeting OF Mr.
publication of the circumstances in the
English Journals is an amplined repro,
that MIR. Stanley says that on arriving before the
town OF Ujiji, he had no doubt that his mission
| would there terminate The truth concerning the
eccentrcity charged upon DR.. Livingstone Is ex-
planned by Mr.. Stanley by the fact OF q disagree
BY a ns
apathy to this functionary, and In the support OF
his assertion he recounts the following remarkable
fact:-In nine months the representative OF the
NEW YORK HERALD in London, by the courtesy and
assistance of Mr.. Webb, the American Consul at
addressed to Stanley All these letters reached
him at Ujiji, where he also received telegram
which had been only four m months coming rom the the
received letter from Zanzibar. 1t Is possible that
the British Consul may he able to give satisfactory
| explanations as to this fact, but appearances are
not in his favor This fact easily explains the con-
dition in which DR.. Livingstone was found.
| lie Figaro, August 7, again refers to the exped-
| tion editorially. 1t says:-
letter from Earl Granville to Mr. Stanley and an
attestaton from the son OF DR.. Livingstone appear
give definite proof Ofthe accuracy Ofthe American
Journalist; notwithstanding. we lind In the Jou1aa1
which throws the most grave doubts upon the au-
thenticity of the letters from Livingstone cOmmu-
the name Of the Geographical Society OF Paris OF
which he Is Secretary. How shall we reconcile
such contradictory assertions They may suppose
has written imaginary letters for Livingstone, but
there evidences that he really met him at Ujii
The Journal des Debats of the 7th instant quietly
observes:-
Yesterday the family of Dr. Livingstone resid-
ing at Hamilton, received letters from DIR. Living
stone, but their contents not known, owing to
his personal desire that they should be considered
as confidential. There were thirteen letters In all.
They have doubt as to their authenticity.
L'Opinton Rationale Of August T. while publish
ing the whole Of the correspondence, wishes to say
a word relative to the various statements floating
about in reference thereto. 1t says:-
We have published the first part Of the second
letter from Dr. Livingstone. We reproduce today
the last OF this document; but we ought to warn
readers that grave suspicious have been raised
as to the authenticity OF these letters Az Paris as
the style the manner of the lustrious traveller.
They profess to iind besides, some formal contra
| dictions with the opinions and some facts pre-
vi0Hsly explained by DIR. Livingstone
But, on the other hand DR.. Livingstone's son has
received from Mr.. Stanley the diary that his father
has written up day by day, with instructions to
| him by the Doctor bearing his signature, and he
declares that these documents are not open to the
letter to Mr.. Stanley, in which he could not even
admit the doubts which had been raised relative to
the genuineness Of the letters from DIR. Livingstone.
Such Is the state OF things at present.
An Official Russian organ the Journal de 81.
Petersb0urg, says:-''We all know with what satis-
faction the whole civilized world received the news
that Mr. Stanley, correspondent OF the NEW YORK
HERALD, had not only gone in search OF and found
oand the great explorer himself with S whom he as
had an interview at Ujiji However, as soon as the
first sentiment OF joy has passed we md men
commence to raise doubts concerning the asser-
tons of Stanley" From the extracts from Kiepert's
communication which follows 1t is certain the writer
had no doubt existing in his mind
The Wiener Abend Post, in translating DIR. Living
stones second letter, comments In high terms on
the courage OF Stanley and on the enterprise OF the
proprietor OF the HERALD In sending the expedition
In the way he did.
The Neue PreussiSche ZeitIYg also gives the
second letter from Livingstone, and quotes its
authority for the matter as though suddenly
awakening TO true sense OF the Importance OF the
question.
The Ne,e Frete Presse appears to halt between
from Africa 1t gives no indication that 1t either be-
leves or dscredits 1t, and, on the principle that
''yOu pays your money and have right to choose"
leaves the discussion to its readers. The Press
will awaken when 1t receives Kiepert's letter.
The Weser Zeft1ng publishes the Livingstone cor
respondence, and in introducing the subject to its
readers, generously credits the HERALD for supply
facts, 1t concludes by eulOgZinR the proprietor OF
That well known journal in sending such an eXpedi-
tion and cOngratulates him on Its success"
The Hdmburgische BGrSen- Halle, despite its
dozens Qf columns OF figures representing the fnan-
cial centres Of the whole Of Europe, makes room
for LivingstOnes letters to the HERALD and, unlike
certain contemporary at Berlin, does not agree
with NJ. Kiepert, and marvels how such statement
as his could be furnished on receipt OF the first news
from Africa.
The H0nlbtsrytSc1er Correspondent takes the same
course as the BUrSen-H Halle and while presenting
the HERALD-Livingstcne correspondence to the
public of the ''free city," does not degn to recog
1t claims, should have waited until he was certain
of his subject.
