British foreign Office said this afternoon
that the government had just received
information which left very little doubt
that the "white pasha" in the Bahr-El-
Ghazel was none other than Henry NJ.
Stanley, the explorer. and that Emin
Pasha was with him. When the Stanley
expedition proceeded up the Aruwmi
in June, 1887, Stanley hoped to join
Emin PaSha at Wadelai in August. The
next direct news from the expedition
was dated July II. 1887. and it was to
the effect that having found the Aruwimi
turning southwark, the courageous eX-
plorer had resisted the temptation to
settle at once and for all the problem
of its source, and had started appar-
emily in northeasterly direction.
IN other words, Stanley was max
ing as nearly as possible bee line
towards the original destination of the
expedition. News up to April last has
been received from Emin, and as Stan
ley had not then joined him, anxiety
for his safety seemed to be justified,
especially when this fact was taken in
conjunction with the previous reports
of disaster. But it seemed probable that
if disaster had overtaken the eXpedi-
ton, it would have occurred during the
two or three months Immediately fol-
lowing SANKEY'S departure from the
Aruwimi. Deprived of supplies from
its base in an absolutely unknown
country, the critical period for the eX-
petition undoubtedly appeared to be
the months Of August and September,
1887, for it was during these months
that all SANKEY'S calculations failed.
The news recently received shows,
however, that
STANLEY WAS ALIVE AND WE'LL
and pressing forward as late as the end
of November last. and it fully accounts
for the delay which had occurred. Halt
ing for the reinforcementS which never
arrived, and DELAYED by fever, which
was no new experience with Stanley,
and with which he we'll knew how to
deal, the expedition hal even then sue
ceeded in overcoming all difficulties
and in pressing directly forward toward
Wadelai for a period Of nearly five
months. The rest of the information
confirmed the vague rumorS which
reached Emin in March of this year and
strengthened the surmises which At
rican explorers based upon them. Ac-
c0rding to those reports Stanley, find
Ing progress in the direction of the
Albert Nyanza impraeticable, had
at last abandoned the attempt
and started ''in an unknown
direction" 1t was then pon ted out
that the new direction taken could only
be nOrthward towards the Wellemakua,
and the country Of the Zandehs. Then
again news was received that the rear
guard of the expedition was actually
met marching due north, Stanley hav-
ing definitely decided to take that
course in order to avoid the Swamps to

was undoubtedly continued to the
Wellemakua without finding an oppor-
tunity of again turning east, as the way
was barred by mountainous region
forming the watershed of the north
eastern Congo and the Nile systems,
and this fully accounts for the eXplor-
er's nnn-arrivaI at Wadelai in January
last. Two months later, in March, Emin
had received
A SUMMONS FROM THE MAHDI
to surrender, and had decided to march
against him along the western bank of
the Nile. At the same time mysteri-
GUS white pasha" was heard of on the
hr-El-Ghazel at the head of large
force. When SANKEY'S followers were
seen marching northward they were
still robust and they may well have
formed the nucleus of force recruited
previously supplied Emin with his hest
soldiers. The news that the white
pasta" had great battle with the
mahdi's forces and was victorious las
greatly encouraged all who cling to
their faith that SANKEY'S good fortune
has not deserted him. Now comes in
formation from Pere Lourdel, Roman
Catholic missionary stationed at
Uganda, to the effect that in June last
he had received news which indicated
that Stanley had changed his original
course: that large force had been re-
ported in the vicinity of the Wellema-
kua. and that this had led to the belief
in Uganda that the explorer would at
tempt not only the
RESCUE OF EMIN PASHA,
but also the prisoners at Khartoum.
The reason that no news has recently
been received from Stanley himself is
obvious from the fact that all reports
state that the Arab slave dealers are
making determined effort to establish
great Arab empire in Central Africa,
and have drawn a Gordon of hostile
chiefs across the country to the south
of Wadelai. AS result, it is hardly
possible for a messenger to get through
with news. Hence there is no need
for immediate anxiety for Mr.. Stan
ley'S safety. The difficulty still
remains for him. however. of getting
back again, but those who know Mr..
Stanley best seem to have faith in his
capacity to surmount all difficulties. At
meeting of the German Colonial COM
pany held in Berlin yesterday, Lieut..
Wissman insisted upon the immediate
relief of Emin Pasha at any cost, his re-
marks being in direct opposition to the
advice of DR. Peters who advocated the
postponement of relief expedition. 1t
was made evident by the language of
Lieut.. Wissman that pure humanity is
by no means the object of the so-cailed
relief expedition, but at the close of the
discussion the fiery and humane lieu
tenants resolution, affirming the sense
of the meeting that immediate relief
was necessary, was adopted. The fund
for the equipment of the expedition
