| men you have with you. It would perhaps,
be better to write to me- as a letter to him
might be confiscated. Neither the pasha
nor myself think there is the slightest dam
ger now Of any attempt to capture you, for
you have come from Egypt, and they look:
to you to get them out Of their difficulties.
Still, it would be well for you to make your
camp strong. If we are not able to get out
OF the country, please remember me to my
THE PASTA LIBERATED.
A postscript dated Nov. q, says:
Shortly after had written YOU the SOL
diers were led by their officers to attempt to
retake Regal, but the Mahdists defended it
and killed six officers and a large number
ofsoldiers. Among the officers killed were
some of the pasha's worst enemies. The
soldiers in all the stations were SO panic
stricken and angry at what had happened
that they declared they would not attempt
to fight unless the pasta was set at liberty.
So the rebel officers were obliged to free
him and sent him to Wadelai, where he is
free to do as he pleases, but at present he
has not resumed authority in the
country. He is, believe, by no means
anxious to do so. We hope in
few days to be at Tanguru station, on the
| trust when we hear of your arrival that.
the pasha himself will be able to come
down with me to see you. We hear that
the Mahdists sent steamers down to Khar-
toum for reinforcements. If so, they can
not be up here for another six weeks If
they come up here with reinforcements it
will be all up with us. for the soldiers will
never stand against them and it will be a.
mere walk-over. Every one is anxiously
looking for your arrival, for the coming Of
the Mahdists has completely cowed them.
We may just manage to get out if you do
not come later than the end of December,
but it is entirely impossible to foresee what
will happen.
SENT FOR REINFoRcEMENrs.
Jephson in second postscript dated Dec.

Mogo, the messenger not having started

were about 500, managed to repulse them
and they retired to Regal their headquar-;

for reinforcements they doubtless will at;

fight from Wadelai the officers requested
me to destroy our boats and the, advances

renovated as fast as possible. The pasha is
unable to move hand or foot, as there is
still very strong party against him, and
officers no longer in immediate fear of the

lake near Kavallis island, but make your
camp at Kavallis on the plateau above.
Send letter directly you arrive there, and
as soon as we hear of your arrival l will
come to you. Twill not disguise facts from
gerous work before you in dealing with the
pasha's people. I trust you will arrive be-

will be deperate.
STANLEY's ANSWER
Recalling Emin's indecision when [ left
him whether to quit Wadelai, Stanley con-
tlnues, be wise, be quick and waste no time.
Bring BuiZa and your own Soudanese with
you. have read your letters half a dozen
times over, but fail to grasp the situation
thoroughly because, in some important de-
tails, one letter contradicts the other. In
one you say the pasha is close prisoner,
while you arc allowed a certain amount Of
liberty; in the other you say you will come
to me as soon as you hear of our arrival
here, and II trust, you say, ''that the pa
prisoners, l fail to see how you could leave
Tanguru at all. All this is not very clear to
us, who are fresh from the bush. If the
pasta can come send a courier on your ar
rival at our old camp on the lake below
here to announce the fact, and l will send a
plateau, even to carry him if he needs it. I
feel too exhausted after my 1900 miles of
travel since parted from you last May to-
go down to the lake again. The .pasha must
have some pity for me. Don't be alarmed
or uneasy on our account. Nothing hostile
can approach us within twelve miles with
out my knowing it. l am in the thick

received this batch of letters two notes from
the pasha himself confirming the
above. But not word from
either Jephson or the pasha
indicating the pasha's purpose; did he still
waver, or was he at last resolved with any
other man than the pasha or Gordon. One
would imagine that being prisoner, anda
fierce enemy hourly expecting to give the
coup mortal, he would gladly embrace the
first chance to escape from the country
given up by his government, but there was
no hint in these letters what course the,
pasha would follow; these few hints Of
mine, however, will throw some light on
my state of mind after reading these letters.
