LONDON. Nov. 21.-The British consul at
at Zanzibar telegraphed to the Foreign
Office as follows. STANLEY arrived at
Mpwapwa on the fifty fifth day after
his departure from the Victoria Nyanza,
and the Observation-Disclosures eighty eighth day
after leaving the Albert Nyanza. In addi-
tion to the names already telegraphed.
Stanley has with HIM Hoffman. Emin's
daughter, and Fathers Grault and Schinze,
of the Algerian mission.
Stanley left Mpwapwa on the 18th, trav-
cling toward the Zanzibar coast by way of
Kemba and Mwemi. Stanley made an un-
expected discovery, of real value. in find
ing an extension of the Victoria Nyanza to-
ward the southwest. The most southerly
reach of the extension is south latitude %
49,. This brings the Victoria NyaDza within
155 miles of Lake Tanganyika. The area Of
the extension is 26.9OO square miles,"
According to further advices received by
the Foreign Office, Stanley has with him
750 persons. of whom 200 are Emin's follow
ers. There are also sixty children in the
party. Stanley lost only eighteen men
during the march from the Victoria Ny
ANA. He had four days fighting near
Usukama. The expedition is expected to
arrive at Bagamoyo in fortnight.
Mr.. Stanley. in a letter to the British con-
sui at Zanzibar, gives, in addition to. the
news already cabled. the following story.
He SAYS: Every previous. expedition has
nearing the sea. Bnt the long string of
hammock bearers with us now tells a
different tale. Till we can place
the poor things in our company on
shipboard. there. will be no rest for
privilege of showing you at Zanzibar the
full extent of our labors. After carrying
some of them a thousand miles and ight-
ing to the right and left of the sick driv-
ing the Warasura from their prey over
range after range of mountains. with every
energy on full strain, they slip through our
hands and die in their hammocks. One
lady. seventy-six years old, mother of
Vakiel. died in this manner.
I'm North usukuma, south of the Victoria
Nyanza, we had a stirring time for four
days. There was continuous fighting dur
ing the greater part of the daylight hours.
The foolish natives took an Inaccountable
prejudice against Emin's people. They in
ss5ed sns that thsy Tere er ro cannsal balls
purpose. Talking was useless, as any
attempt to dlsprove their impression
only drove them into a whitehead rage,
and in their mad hate. by finging them
selves on us. they suffered severely. am
advised that the Semba and Mwene route is
the best for securing an abundance of food,
and, therefore, propose to adopt it. But
as regards danger from attacks by the
natives one road seems to be as bad as
another
Regarding the Victoria Nyanza, Stanley
says it is 900 square miles larger than re-
ported by Speke, whose statement regard
ing the size of the lake was supposed to be
an exaggeration. The Uriji, also. which
Speke so lightly sketched, turns out to be
a. very respectable lake with populated
islands.
