STANLEY RETURNS.
Gives His Views on Gordon's
Chance of Escape.

Chance Oh ESCAPE.
London, 2S.-Henry NJ. Stanley,
African explorer, arrived at Ply
mouth this evening. In an inter
view with an Associated Press re.
porter Stanley said he had returned
to England considering he had COM
pleted the work of establishing ga
tisfactory trading stations along
the Congo river from Its
mouth right on to Stanley
Pool, 400 miles by river. When he
left the Congo country he was sui
fering badly from bronchitis but
wss much benefited by the sea Voy.
age; he eulojized the trading pros
poets in the vicinity of the Congo
river. He considers Gen. Gordon
can escape from Khartoum whether
by way of Zanzibar on the east or
down the Congo to the west coast, il
the N lie is black. Stanley considers
General Gordon can during the pres
ent season ascend the Nile from
Khartoum IT, G0ndskar,a distance Of
500 miles in s days. Thence proceed
to Bohsr and Elgshlzeai and join
Luplon Bey, who commands 400
troops, having in their possession
100000 worth of money. Gordon
could then proceed with this adii-
ton to his force to Zanzibar.
Should soldiers refuse to take this
journey, or should some other
cause prevent the plan, Cor
don could Icross TO Uganda, reach
Stanley stations and proceed down
the Congo. Stanley considers the
routes traversed by Schweinfurth,
Samuel, Lady Baker and Italian and
Austrian missionaries, cannot be
insurmountable to Gordon, a
soldier, traveller, and ex-
plorer. Should the garrison
at intermediate points along the
Nile be endangered Gordon could
take them along with him. II they
refused to accompany him at first
they wouli be SURE to follow after
he had gone. He believes the send
ing OF large English force to extri-
cate General Gordon would be
a most disastrous undertaking
and would likely be attended with
great loss and expense. English
troops would be unable to stand the
climate. Stanley commenting on
abandoning OF Congo treaty says he
considers the leaving of the Congo
in the hands Of Portuguese, very
inim!cal to English interest.
The population of Madeira pre-
pared an ovation for Stanley when
his steamer arrived there, but he
was unable to land owing 20 quar-
antiDe regulations.
