The Missing Explorers scheme To Get Ala
From TippoO Tib.
NEW YORK, March Ga private letter
from Bongalo, on the Congo, gives, under
date of November >, 1883, some inlorma-
tion about Henry NJ Stanley which has
not yet appeared in any Of the published
accounts of his movements
Stanley" it says, arrived ct urenia
on August II, with the carriers furnished
by Emin Pasha. The next day the four
white men VINO had accompanied him also
reschhed that point. Stanley wrote let
ter to Tippoo Tib, telling him, in effect,
that he came from Albert Nyanzi, where
he Joined Emin Pasha. He found every
thing in good condition there-Emin
Pasha and Casati in good health, and all
their people well. They were well pro-
vided with suppliei, including wines, %c.'
and more than thousand head Of lat cat
tie, as well as sheep, goats and chickens IN
abundance. His return voyage had been
effected in eighty-two dsye. His company
WINS in good health. aud his losses were
limited to three negroes. lie did not say
how long the journey TO the lake had
taken.
"He entreated Tippoo Tib TO accompany
him back 10 Emin, saying that he would
wait for him at Urenia for ten days, nd
would start on the eleventh day with the
goods he left there and NJ Bonny, the last
of the five Europeans left with him Bar
thelot having been killed at Urenia, Jami-
son having died at BOngalo on August 20,
and Ward and ROOte having returned to
Europe). To decide TippOo Tib
10 accompany him he dwelt upon
the great quantity Of ivory he could bring
back-all that was in Emin Pasba's pos
session. do not really think Emin Pasha
would have given Tippco his ivory, fer
Tippoo had nothing with which to pay for
it, II was probably an Grtilice on Stan
Lewis part, who had one or two objects Ia
view for which he had need Of TippOo's
aid. and he thus tried to persuade him.
TippOo Tib must have understood this, for
he did not accompany Stanley, but, like a
practical man, and one who wished TO
make something out of Stanley's journey,
he caused the explorer to follow AZ dis-
tance by one of his devoted lieutenants,
Said. Ben -Mohamed, who will recOnDoitre
the route and make raids for slaves IN the
new country.
STANLEY has broken the contract made
by Barthelot for the 400 carriers furnished
by the Arabs and has taken only 100 OF
them with him. For the res. the men oil
Emin Pasha must suffice. On September
Stanley started on his journey to r'Joia
Emin Pasha. What will he do aiter"aId>
He has not told his plans, except that ne
will not return by way of the Congo. Ma
ior Barthelot would have come back along
the Monte N'Zige. Will Stanley take 'hat
route?
"On september II Stanley's courier,
bonnd for Europe, arrived at Tall, com
mended TO the protection OF the resident
of the Congo State, but without eny kind
of a message. Now this courier who bears
ONLY one letter, addressed 10 M. Brown
had been detained at Tall by an unfortu-
nate illness. The resident, who is expect
ING steamer from dsy to day, has not
deemed it proper to allow this correspond
ence TO be brought here by the boat which
brought US N. Bilit, Jr., Secretary OF TIP
boo Tibb, and just now the Stanley IS here
and is going down TO Kintamo. So Stan
Iey's correspondence cannot reach Us until
the arrival Of the next steamer"
