LONDON, April 3.-sir Francis De-
Winton, chairman of the Emin Pasha
relief commission, makes public the let
ter which he received from Henry N.
Stanley. It Is dated Bungangeta island,
on the Arumwhimi, Aug. %, 1888. After
confirming his short dispatch OF Aug.
II, already published, announcing that
he had relieved Emin, Stanley proceeds
10 relate the story of his movements
from June 2s, 1887.
He says he had established palisaded
camp at Yambuya on the lower Arum-
whimi, Just below the first rapid, and APP
pointed Bartillot commandment, with
Jameson associated with him. On the
arrival Of the men and goods from Stan
ley Pool and BolObo, the off
GERS were to report to Bartillot
for duty, but no important ac-
ton was to be taken without consulting
Messrs. Troupe and Ward. The officers
admitted that the instructions were ex-
plicit and clear. Bartillot had 257 men.
He was o stay at Yambuya until the
steamer arrived from Stanley Falls with
men aud goods, and If Tppoo lib fur
nished the carriers promised he was to
march. following the track blazed out by
Stauleys advance column. If the car
riers did not arrive Bartillot might dis
regard these directions and begin short
journeys until Stanley should come
down TO his relief.
Stanleys column set out June %, 1887,
from Yambuya with $50 officers and
men. On the first day the natives they
met

FIGHTING.
The slxir1nish lasted only fifteen mini
utcs. The natives continued for five
days along the march to impede the adj
vance in every way they knew Of, but
not man of Stanley's party was lost.
The party reached the river again on
followed the left bank. After seventeen
days continuous marching they halted
one day for rest. On the twenty-fourth
day they lost two men by desertion.
They fnSse only four halts in July. On
Aug. the first death occurred. lit was
from dysenterv. They now entered d will
derness which it took fine days to march
through Their sutferings began to IN
crense and several deaths occurred. The
river helped them, as the canoes relieved
the men Of much Of their burdens. Aug.
lib, on arriving at Airsibba, the natives
attacked them and five men were killed
by poisoned arrows Lieut.. Stairs was
wounded near the heart and suffered
greatly for month before recovering. On
Aug. Is Mr.. JepsOn. commanding the
land party, got too far inland and was
lost, His contingent rejoined the re-
manning party on the 2lst. On the 2Jth
they arrived IN the district Of Airieli,
and camped for while opposite the
mouth of the tributary NepolEo.
On Aug. 81 the porty fell in with q
caravan Of Manyema under Uiedi-Bal-
yeus. This was most unfortunate, as
Stanley had taken the route he did in
order to avoid the pasha.
As expected, several of his men were
iampered with by the Arabs. and within
three days twenty -six had deserted On
