LONDON. July 14.-An attache Of the
British foreign Office said to-day that
the government had positive informa-
ton that the white pasha reported in
the province of Bahr-El-GhaZel, march
ing on Khartoum, is undoubtedly the
explorer, Henry NJ. Stanley. The for
eign office, he states, has had knowl-
edge all along of some such intention
rs this ON Stanley's part, and that the
real object of the expedition at the last
moment was not the relief of Emin Bey,
who needed no immediate aid, but the
rescue of Lupton Bey, Slatin Bey, Neu-
field, German, and several other Euro
peans, whose terrible sufferings at
Khartoum were made known to the
government at that time. Absolute
secrecy was necessary for the success of
the undertaking, hence the reason for
Withholding the news of the degrada-
ton and suffering to which the mahdi
subjected his unfortunate
PRISONERS AT KHARTOUN.
1t appears that one geographical
problem that awaited solution has al
ready been settled by the expedition.
Stanley had himself believed that the
Aruwimi river flowed from Lake AL
bert NyanZa, and that it would be pos
sible to make the return journey from
the lake to Yambunga in canoes. This
has been found to be mistake, and the
river is now believed to take its rise in
some high table lands in the Mabode
country. This river, Aruwimi, with the
exception of its lower course from YAM
bunga to the Congo, and of the portion
Of its upper coarse explored by DIR.
Junker, has hitherto been uneXplOred,
and Stanley will, no doubt, do much to
fill up the map of this part of Africu
The hills, too, forming the watershed
between the Nile basin and the Aru-
Wimi or Congo basin, must have been
crossed by him if he has really come out
In the Bahr-El-G -GhaZel, and this Is
NEW AND INTERESTING GROUND.
1t will, however, be disappointment
to geographers if Stanley has failed to
explore the country between the upper
Aruwimi lake and Albert Nyanza, and
If he has left altogether untouched the
great mysterious lake-the Muta-NZige
Lying still further to the south. For
It is important to know If the Albert
&yanza communicates with the Muta-
Nzige. The latter is believed to COM
municate with Lake Tanganyika. on
WHICH Silldll EllSllSu-DullI SIcdulclS dl-
ready ply; and if these connections
actually exist and are practicable, there
Is an almost unbroken water highway
from the mouth of the Zambesi to that
lake region, which, though not in the
center, Is the real heart of Africa. Per-
haps, however, even if Stanley has
turned his steps from this region for
The present, he will explore it later,
after he has Joined Emin Bey at Wade
lai, which he intends doing after he
has rescued the prisoners at Khartoum.
1t is unlikely that man of Stanley's
stamp will content himself with going
straight back from Wadelai by the way
he came without a serious effort to util
ize his exceptional resources in some
brilliant explorations, and the neXt
news of the ''White Pasha" is awaited
with the keenest interest in every por
lion of the civilized world.
