 NEW YORK, Dec. IA cable dispatch to the Herald. dated Mmbiki, December 1, says: Stanley's expedition, accompanied by the force sent cut by the Herald, arrived here safely to-day. All the Europeans connected with the caravan are well, with the exception of Stevens, the commissioner of the New York Gift Enterprise, who has been struck down with fever and lies in tent very ill. Stanley is bringing with him 2S8 of Emin Pashas people. Many of these persons are aged, decript or sick, and they are all being carried down to the coast by Stanley's Zanzi- baris.
 The troops and carriers in Stanley's com- mand elicit the unbeunded admiration of everyone. They are under the most perfect discipline, and when on the road march in perfect order, which could be only expected of well trained and we'll pro. visioned army.
 NEW YORK, Dec. 4.-The following are received by cable from Henry M. Stanley, the date being Nsuwah, November 30:
 Just about three years ago, while featuring in New England, message came from over the sea bidding me to hasten and take a con- mission to relieve Emin Pasha at Waaelai. Twenty various little commissions were added to the principal one, each requiring due care and thought. We'll, looking back over what has been accomplished sec no reason for any hearts discontent.
 Over and above the happy ending of our appointed duties, we have not been unfortu- nate in geographical discoveries. The Aru- wimi is now known from its source to it's bourne. Tho great Congo forest, covering an area as large as France and the Iberian peninsular, we can now certify to be an abso- lute fact The Mountains of the Moon this time, beyond the least doubt, have been To- cated; and Ruwenzori, the Cloud King, ,1obed in eternal snow, has been seen and its Hanks explored and some of it's shoulders ascended, Mounts Gordon>Bennett and Mackinnon cones being but giant sentries warding off the approach to the inner area of the Cloud King.
 On the southeast of the range the connec. ton between Albert Edward Nyanza and the Albert Nyanza has been discovered, and the extent of the former lake is now known for the first time. Range after range of mountains have been traversed, separated by such tracts of pasture lands as would make your cowboys out West mad with envy. And right under the burning equator we have fed on blackberries and blueberries, and quench- ed our thirst with orysta! water fresh from snow beds. We have also been able to add nearly six thousand square miles of water to Victoria Nyanzs.
 Our naturalist will expatiate upon the new species of animals, birds and plants he has discovered. Our surgeon will tell what he knows of the climates and it's amenities. always suspected that in the central re- gions between the equatorial lakes something worth seeing would be found, but I was not prepared for such harvest of new facts. What can you make of this, for instancei On August 17, 1887, all the officers of the rear column are united at Yambuya. They have my letter of instructions before them, but instead of preparing for the morrow's | march to follow our track, they decide to wait at Yambuya, which decision initiates the most awful season any community of | men ever endured in Africa or elsewhere. | The results are that three quarters of the | force die of slow poison. Their commander | is murdered and the second officer dies soon after of sickness and grief. Another officer ia wasted to skeleton and obliged to return home. A fourth is sent to wander aimlessly | up and down the Congo and the survivor Is found in such fearful pest-hole that we dare not it's horrors.
 l On the same date, @ hundred and fifty miles away, the officer of the day leads 3S3 men of the advance column into the bush, loses the path. His people become frantic. He cannot devise any expedient to relieve them. They are surrounded by cannibals, and poison tipped arrows thin their num- bers. Meantime l, in command of the river column, am anxiously searching up and | down the river, but not until the sixth day was successful In finding them. Taking the same month and the same date in 1888, year later, on August IT, listen horror-struck to the tale of the last surviv- | ing officer of the rear column at Banalya, and am told of nothing but death and disaster. | Having saved Bonny out of the jaws of | death we arrive @ second time at Albert Ny anza to find Emin Pachs and Jephson, pris. | Not until both were in my camp and the | Egyptian fugitives under our protection did begin to see that was carrying out high. CT plan than mine.-
 My officers have been maddened with the
 agonies of fierce levers. They have lived fo1
 months in an atmosphere medical authority
 declared to be deadly. They have faced
 dangers every day, and their diet has been
 all through what legal serfs would have de
 clared to be infamous and abominable, and
 yet they live.
 This is not due to me any more than ths
 courage with which they have borne all that
 was imposed upon them by their surround
 ings or the cheery energy which they bestow
 ed to their work, or the hopeful voices
 which rang in the ears of deafening multi
 tude of blacks and urged the poor souls ol
 to their goal.
 The vulgar will call it luck. Unbeliever 7 will call 1t chance, but deep down in eacl
 heart remains the feeling, that of veri ty. There are more thiugs in heaven an, , earth than are dreamed of in common phil osophy"
