by Arabs trading between Lakes Vie

These Arabs met Stanley's rear guard
at n point west of Albert Nyanza,
sout heast OF Ianga. Just as the expe-
ditiOn was preparing to cross swamps

that abound in that country. The
Arabs did not see Stanley. The lie
tachment seen consisted OF thirty men.
They stated that Stanley was two
days ahead. The expedition had suf-
fered greatly on the march through "a
thick forest, where it was impossible
to advance more than mile and n
quarter daily. They had also suffered
in the marshes. where many had dis
appeared or died. Forty drowned

east to west. One white man had died
Stanley was Obliged to fight some
tribes that refused tO supply him with
provisions. The expedition had often
halted, in the expectation of receiving
reinforcement from the Congo. The
rear guard, at the time met had only
been on the march five days, after u
halt oi three weeks. due to he illness
Of Stanley and a great part of the es-
cort, vino had been attacked with
fever. The Arabs estimate the total
strength Of the expedition alter all
losses at 25O men. The health of
Stanley was then good. The rear
guard. which consisted of natives of
Zanzibar, stated that STANLEY had de-
cided that he would no longer advance
in IA nOrthea st erly direction, but would
strike toward the north, hoping to
avoid the swamps. Aiterpett ing n GER

an oblique line to ths east ward and 90
straight to WadelaI, where il was
thought he would arrive fifty days
later-abOut the middle Of January,

that the expedition was still strong
enough to reach Wadelab
Note-lt will be- remembered that on

from Zanzibar that two messengers
had arrived there who had lett the IN
terror about the beginning oi April.
and who reported that STANLEY had
not arrived at Wadrlai up To that

the month of March Emin Pasha did
receive some vag,,eand unle,'isive news
of the expedition. which had filtered
through from tribe To tribe, hut that
the reports were very conflicting
Some declared that Stanley, after los
ing II number of men and n large por

hostile tribes between the Maboia

other rumors were to the effect that he
