CHILE LETTER.


the tln!n Rellet ASSOCIATION give more
credence to the reported arrival of Henry
NJ. Stanley on the Aruwini than they did
to Osman Digna 5 story of Emn Pasha 3
capture, but they have decided to con-
tlnue preparations for sending out the
Weisman expedition for Emin S relief
until the news is verified. Some of the
members of the committee i'll discussing
contradictions between the dispatches re-
ceived from Zanzibar which reports
Stanley had reached the Aruwini and the
one that come from the Congo re-
porting the arrival on the Aruwini
of both Stanley and Emin, concluded
that Stanley had reached the Aruwini,
intending TO return TO Emin Pasha, but
hold that the safety of the latter remains
in doubt.
The departure of Lieutenant Weisman
will now be retarded until early in Feb
ruary. This delay is partly due to the
Representatives, of obtaining the passage of
the East African bill by the reichstag be-
fore February. Although the release of
Emin Pasha will be one object of the eX-
petition, it will also act in support of
anti-slave operations, obtaining on his
return from the interior. 1t will be
pressed i'll the reichstag that part of the
money voted by the bill shall be used for
raising force of colonial troops, even if
it happens that
ENIIN PASTIA Is SAFE.
Lieutenant WeiSman 5 plans, already
formed, will be the probable basis of the
expedition into the interior. Weisman
expects, whatever happens, to lead the
cOloniZing force. Weisman's brother
officers i'll the second regiment of the
Cr1DrlS will rive him 81 farewell dinner at
the end of January.
In discussion of the route to be taken
and the number of men COM
posing the expedition letter
from Cardinal Lavigerie to the German
minister at Brussels attracts attention.
Cardinal Layigerie uses his knowledge of
the interior of Africa to support the
statement that 500 troops marching
through German territory by the way Of
Unganyembe to Ukiji, on Lake Tan
ganyka, could crush the slave trade and
disarm and forever disable the Arab
slave merchants. The East Africa bill is
understood to demand q sum of money
sufficient for larger scheme, involving
permanent coast garrisons and several
inland garrisons.
The newspapers here, in their criti-
cisms of
RECENT EVENTS AT SUAkIM
concur in associating English action there
with the German policy on the Zanzibar
coast. The North German Gazette says
the victory ut Suakim will have direct
effect upon anti-slave movements, and
will probably help to liberate Emin Bey.
The paper recommends that force of
Egyptians commanded by British officers
prosecute operations in Suakim. The
National Gazette holds that the German
energetic policy on the Zanzibar coast has
determined England IS action on the Red
Sea, and it hopes that the Salisbury
cabinet will now take strong
measures regarding the Soudan. The
Vienna papers, looking at the business
side of the subject, expect reopening of
Suakim trade, Austria having prior
claim to the profitable dealings with the
Soudanese, chiefly in cutlery.
Lord Salisbury's declarations that the
British will not 90 further than Suakin
are given little attention, official circles
having reasons to expect large develop
ment of English policy on the Red sea
coast simultaneous with German action
in Zanzibar.
THE ENPEROR's HEALTH.
Emperor William has fairly recruited
his health, and has resumed his jour-
neys. To-day he went to Stettin to in
spect the Frederick William Grendiner
regiment. The people of Stettln gave
him hearty reception. He went direct
from the railway station to Koenig' 8
plaza, where he presented four new rib
bOns to the colOrs of the regiment.
Afterwards, in short speech, he said he
trusted the officers and men would main
tain the high character of their order for
bravery.
He next visited the Vulcan Shipbuilding
Works at Brecow This evening he dined
with officers of the garrison at their
club. His weeks work has displayed
the same expenditure of nervous energy
as that which he did before his illness,
and it has been in the same direction
toward the military. The emperor has
been arranging for some grand military
maneuvers in Silesia in 1889. He has had
conferences with the commission on de-
feilse OF Cuxhaven and the Northern Sea
canal. He spent several hours on Thurs :
day at the artillery range outside of Ber-
lin where he reviewed two battalions Of
rfhe. guards in going through a series of
maneuSers under the new drill reguta1.

day and had an interview with the en-
peror without delay.
The Berliners would like 10 see
some of this energy used in encouraging
trade. There is general complaint of
dullness. Christmas buyingsis limited
and the festal spirit is under gloom.
