HENRY III. STANLEY.


The Intrepid African Explorer Heard
From Again-HighIy Interesting Letters
from the Great Traveller.
News has been received from Henry
NJ. Stanley, the African explorer, sent
out Jointly by the New York He2atd
and London Telegraph. These journals
are in receipt of five interesting letters
from the intrepid traveller. The first
letter bears date of July %, 1875, and
was written at Mayhyga island, Lake
Victoria Nlyanza, and describes the yoy-
age from King Mtesa's territory, at the
northern end of Lake Victoria Niyanza.
In the course of this voyage Stanley and
party narrowly escaped massacre by the
savage and treacherous natives Of Bum
birch, large island on the western side
of the lake. The natives were beaten
off after severe fight, and the party
arrived safely at camp after encounter
ing heavy storms.
| The second letter was written from
Dunno, In Uganda, dated August 10,
camp OF the main land, within access of
the lake. From Mayhyga Stanley made
an expedition across the lake to Ukereme
island, at its southern extremity, from
whence he recrossed the lake again
toward the region of Uganda. while the
expedition was being transported in
canoes. During the return voyage Stan
! ley inflicted severe punishment upon the
| treacherous savages of Bumbirch for
the attack made upon his expedition,
mentioned in first letter.
The third letter is from Kawanga, on
the frontiers of Unyoro, dated Jan. Is,
| 1876. The letter describes the march OF
the gallant explorer from King Mtesa's
capital across the country to the eastern
shore of the Albert Niyanza. The
march was made at the head of large
army, composed of StanIey's force and
spearman of Uganda. The three letters
contain particulars of the highest geo
graphical and chronological value. Stan
ley twice traversed the country OF kab
barega and visited Niyanza. This lane
exploration explains why Gessi,
Gordon's force, who sailed on the Al
bert Niyanza in April last, heard nothing
of the expedition. In the heretofor
unknown regions lying between Lake
Victoria and Albert Niyanza, is re
markable mountain, Gambaragar'
which Stanley thoroughly explored, an
discovered among its high uplands
pale-face tribe forming different ra(
of people to the black-skinned denizel
of the plains. Stanley christens tt
large inlet of Lake Niyanza, on whiC
he encamped with his army, Beatrit
Gulf, in honor of the Princess of En-
land.
The fourth letter, dated March 26,
from Kanfurro, and relates the story az
final departure from Uganda and the e
ploration of Kageera river, which fov
into the lake on it's west side. 1t furth'
describes the exploration of Cap
Speke's lake, Windermore, and the h'
springs of Karagwe. Stanley forward
sketch map showing the hitherto u
mapped portion of Victoria Niyanza.
The fifth letter is dated from Ubagw'
in Unyamwe, April "a, fifteen day
march from Ujiji, and gives turtle
details of explorations of the Inter-L
custrine region, and Stanley's southwa1
march to Ujlji. From Ujiji, Stanle
proposed to revisit the Albert Niyanz
by the way of Lake Tanganyika, an
make thorough exploration Of IL
former basin. He is amply supple
with men and means sufficient to enab
him to solve the problem still left ope
by his undaunted courage, and splendi
gifts as a traveller His white frienC
Frank Pocock, is well, and his ow
health unimpaired.
