Zanzibar, Nov. 2.-Courers from Tabora bring
direct news from the Stanley Expedition, por-
ton Of which was met at the end of November,
1887 by Arabs trading between Lakes Victoria
Nyanza and Nzige and Tabofa These Arabs
met Stanley's rear guard at point west of AL
bert Nyanza, southeast of Sanga, Just the En-
pedition was preparing to cross swamps caused
By the radiation of the streams that abound in
that country.
The Arabs did not see Stanley. The detach-
mont seen consisted of thirty men. They stated
that Stanley was two days ahead The Expe-
dtion had suffered greatly on the march through
thick forest, where it impossible to advance
more than mile and quarter daily. They
had also suffered in the marshes, where many had
disappeared or died. Forty were drowned in
crossing a great river flowing from East to West.
One white man had eiod Stanley was obliged
with provisions.
The expedition had often halted, in the ex-
pectation of receiving reinforcements from the
Congo. The rear guard. at the time met, had
only been on the march five days after halt of
three weeks, due TO the illness of Stanley and q
great part OF the escort, who had been attacked
with fever
The Arabs estimate the total strength of the
expedition. after all losses, at $50 men. The
health of Stanley then good.
The guard, which consisted of natives of
Zanzibar stated that Stanley had decided that
he would longer advance in northeastery
direction, but would strike toward the north,
hoping to avoid the swamps After getting
certain distance north he intended to take an
oblique line to the the eastward and 60 straight
to Wadelai, where it was thought he would ar
rive fifty days later-about the middle of Janu-
ary, 1888. The Arabs were of the opinion that
the expedition still strong enough to reach
Wndelai.
1t will be remembered that on August l in
formation was received from Zanzibar that two
messengers had arrived there who had left the
interior about the beginning of April, and who
reported that Stanley had not arrived at Wade
lai up to that time. The messengers stated
that in the month of March Emin Pacha did re-
ceive some vague and indecisive news of the ex-
plorer, which had filtered through from tribe to
tribe but that the reports were very conflicting
Some declared that Stanley, after losing a num-
Der of men and large portion of his supplies was
hemmed in by hostile tribes between the Maboda
country and the Albert Nyanza, while other rumors
were to the effect that he had been attacked by |
the tribes in the Matongora-Mino district, and |
after several conflicts, had diverted his course
Ia an unknown direction
