ZANZIBAR december ZZ.-OQo SpeClal
messenger sent into the interior in Oc-
tober in the hope of obtaining news OF
Emin and Stanley from the Caravans,
has sent dispatch announcing that he
met Arab traders from Modeiai who
positively affirmed that Sanley met
Emin Their, about January 20. Stanley
the traders said, bad $50 men and plenty
of stores. He had endured great priVa
tiOns, but he and all his party were
we'll, although extremely exhausted.
The delay in reaching Wadelai was due
to difficulties encountered on the route.
Smin was in a fairly good position,
ilthOugh some of his Egyption officers
we're grumbling, and many of his SOL
diers had deserted. The Kings of
Uganda and Unyaro were
HOSTILE To EM1N,
who was obliged in November to repel
predatory incursions from the east.
His general health was good. A fort
night after Stanley's arrival Emin re-
ceived message from the Mahdi, POM
pously intimating the intention to sub ,
due the whole country as far as the
great lake, and promising good treat
ment if Emin submitted. Emin
replied that before evacuating he
must wait for the Mahdi to
prove the legitimacy of his claim to
the province. Emin told Stanley that
be did not desire to leave Wadelai.
The entire route to the east coast was
most dangerous on account of the great
agitation among the tribes and the hos
tility of M. Wanga. Towards the mid
die of April, hearing that a force of
Mahdists was coming, Emin ordered
his advance posts between Dufle and
Lado to retire to Madelia. and Stanley
sent messengers to the Kings off Me-
gonda and Ungoro. About the end of
April, when the traders left Wadelai,
Stanley was anxious, owing to
ABsEncE OF NEWS
from the rear guard on the Aruwhimi
and was arranging to send a strong
detachment in search of them alone the
route which he himself had followed.
Stanley also again urged Emin to leave
Madelai with him and regain the
coast. Stanley sent out several couriers
with news for Europe. One was q
courier who was sent by foreign con-
suls at Zanzibar TO apprise Emin of the
departure of the relief expedition.
This courier had remained at Madelai
and was sent back to the east coast
after the arrival OF Stanley. Another
courier was sent in the direction of
Aruwhimi.
