THE MAHDfs WARNING

celved a message from the Mahdi pompously in
tlmatlng MS intention to subdue the whole
country as far as the great lake and promising
good treatment if he submitted Emin replied
that before eyacuating he must wait for the
Mahdl 10 prove the legitimacy of his claim 10
the province. Emin told Stanley that he did
not desire TO leave Wadelai. The entire route
to the east coast was most dangerous on account
OF lncessant agitation among the tribes and the
hostility of Mevanga.
THE SITUATION AT wADELAL
Toward the middle of April, hearing that a
force OF Mahdists were coming, Enin ordered
his advance posts, between Dufile and Lado to
retire TO Wadelai and Stanley sent messages to
the Kings OF Ugunda and Unyoro. About the
end OF April, when the traders left Wadelai
Stanley was anxious, owing 10 the absence Of
news from his rear guard on the Aruwimi and
was arranging to send strong detachment in
search OF them along the route which he him
self had followed. Stanley also again urged
Emin to leave Wadelai with him and regain the
coast. Stanley sent out several couriers with
news for Europe. One was the courier who
was sent by the foreign consuls at Zanzibar In
apprlse Emin OF the departure of the relief ex-
pedition. The courier had remained at Wadelaf
and was sent back to the east coast after Stan
ley. Another courier was sent in the direction
OF Aruwimi.
