Special Cable to the Globe
LONDON, Aug. 25-A story comes
from Cairo this afternoon, which, if
true, accounts for the efforts of the
Cologne Gazette to discredit the per-
sistent reports of the pilgrims arriving
at Suakim respecting the white pasha"
in Bahr-El-Ghazei. 1t is to the effect
that English soldiers in the Egyptian
army. fearing the success of an expedi-
ton under Lieut.. Wissman up the Nile
to effect junction with the ''white
pasha" and cooperate with him for the
release of the European prisoners at
khartoum, have succeeded in prevailing
on the khedive to withdraw his prom
ises of support to Lieut.. Wissman and
to dispatch an Egyptian force from
Wady-Halfa to Omdurman, so as
to preserve the khedive's suZeranty
in the Soudan from possible encroaeh-
ments by foreign power. The khedive
is advised that such force would meet
with more allies than enemies, as the
khalifa's influence Is waning, and that
the present moment is most favorable
for the adoption of an active policy in
the Soudan. The dispatch from Zanzi-
bar announcing that the German-Afri-
can company had assumed the admins
tration of the Zanzibar coast line, indi-
Gates that Germany intends taking a
hand in the mysterious drama which is
being enacted on the borders of the AL
bert Nyanza, or on the banks of the
Blue Nile, and that Lieut.. Wissman
will undoubtedly lead an expedition by
way of the Congo to
COOPERATE WITH STANLEY
and Emin Bey, the main object of which
Will be to effectually crush the slave
trade in Africa. The step takeHby the
| German company was evidently nee
| essary one, as it has been no secret that
the slave traders have for the past three
| years been receiving from the sultan of
| Zanzibar arms, ammunition and every
| thing necessary for carrying on their
nefarious business, and that if it were
| not for this assistance, communication
| with Emin Bey and Stanley would have
| long since been established. All the
/ horrible atrocities perpetrated during
| the past three years in connec-
| ton with the slave trade in Africa
| can be Justly laid at the door of the Sui
| tan of Zanzibar, owing to the covert aid
| he has given the slave traders in the
! hope that the latter would eXterminate
| every European in the country in retail
| alton for the act of Germany and Eng
| land in restricting the zone of his gov
eminent. The act of the German COM
| pany. therefore, if not in strict accord
| ance with international law, was un-
doubleday iustifiable in the cause of
| humanity.
| The German papers in commenting
| on the Zanzibar affair and the later re-
| ports concerning the "White Pasha''
state that the world must be prepared to
| hear in very short time, of some of the
most remarkable events that have ever
taken place in Africa. A desperate
struggle will break out, and blood will
| flow on the shores of the Nile, but the
result will be
BLESSING TO MANKIND.
The contest between the Semitic Arab
| and the IndO Germanic race has reached
/ crisis in the hottest zone on EARTH
| Germany is not at all anxious that
| Nile expedition, but on the con-
| trary is most anxious to see either
the British or Egyptian government
send a force southwark from Wady-
Halfa to cooperate with the "White
Pasha'' in his advance on Khartoum.
! If such an expedition were successful
Germany would reap a considerable
part of the reward, as great impetus
would be given to German trade in
Africa. Correspondents at Suakin con-
tinue to assert that there can be no
doubt as to the presence of ''White
pasta" in Bahr-El-Ghazel. During the
Past few days many more pilgrims and
| refugees have arrived from that neigh
| h0rhOOl and fhay ara unanimous in
serting that an armed force under a
''White Pasha" is at Darfour, and that
the natives are in friendly communica-
| ton with the leader.
