The Egyptian government had approved the
sending of rcinforcements to Suakiln. 1t is
rnmored that Osman Digna in Ills letter ex-
pressed o willingness to surrender Emin
paslia and his white companion, provided
this proposal is not accepted, it is believed
that both captives will be killed. Along with
his letter Osman Digna sent several Snider
cartridges, which he allcdged were taken
from the travellers. The Zanzibaris in
stantley's exPedition were armed with Snider
rifles, but theTe were none in the possession
Of the dervishes. Gen. Grenfell recognized
the letter which Osman Digna had enclosed
Us the original one which he had drafted for
the khedive. Thus Stanley's capture is
virtually beyond a doubt. The Congo
State officials have not been informed OF the
matter.
Oaman Digna's letter was reply to Maj
Bundles request Of last August for news OF
Emn Pasha. The letter asserts that the
Mahdi hns conquered the whole Of tho equa-
torial provinces. The Lado letters stated
that one white man escaped. 1t is reported
that the wounds of Osman Naib, the rebel
commander, are serious. Heavy firing con-
tinues.
The Emin relief expedition committee are
doubtful Of the genuincncss of the Osman
Digna letter. They suggest that the kledive's
letter may be copy stolen ut Cairo, but
they think it more likely that Stanley sent
on runners to Emin with letters, md that
these runners were captured. In any case,
they are hopeful that even if Emn is o cap.
tive Stanley is free.

THE BATTLE.

When the negroes were called upon to sur
render they refused to pay any attention to
the officer or his warrant, and defied the law
and the authorities, saying Maury should
not be arrested. Notsntisied with defying
the law, they attacked the officer and beat
him until he was more dead than alive
before they would allow him to 20. He re-
turned to the town and summoned posse
of twelve white men, who proceeded at once
to the point where the negroes were fortified,
to demand the surrender of Maury. The ne.
groes, however, had abandoned their house
and srcreted in the woods nearby and as the
constable and his posse ncarcd the house,
Constable L. Cobb and four Of his
posse fell dead mt the first volley and
there was only one man among

From Foreign Lands.

The British foreign office has made public
to May 5. 1857. giving a detailed history oi
the ctanley relief expedition. From these
documents positive proof is derived that the
government of England from the very first
held no communication with Stanley direct,
and never officially recognized the expedition
It is further shown that of the &1O, 600 which
Egypt promised to contribute to the expense
Of tho expedition, the committee received
only E8. 400 and this sum was given only
on condition that the amount would lie re.
funded out of the proceeds of the ivory which
Emin waa known or supposed to have. 1t is
noteworthy that the most pessimistic note
received by the committee from Stanley is
dated to the end Of July, 1887, and was
written ut Wadelni.
