New YoRK, March GA private letter
from Bougalo, on the Congo, gives, un,
der date Of November 8, 1888, some in,
formation about Henry NJ, Stanley,
which has not yet appeared in any Of
the published accounts Of his move,
ments,
"stanley,"lt says, "arriyed at Urenia
on August II, with the carriers furnish,
ed by Emin Pasha, The next day tho
four white men who had accompanied
him also reached that point. Stanley
wrote letter to Tppoo lib, telling him,
in effect, that he came from Albert
Ayanla, where he joined Emin Pasha,
He found everything in good condition
there-Emin Pasha and Casatl in good
health, and all their people well, They
were well provided with supplies, In.
Gluding wines, &c, aud more than q
thousand head OF fat cattle, as well as
Sleeps, goats, and chickens in abuud-
amen, His return voyage had been
effected In eighty'two days, His COM
pany was In good health, and his losses
were limited TO three negroes. He did
not say how long the journey to the
lake had taken.
"He entreated Tippoo Tib to accom-.
pany him back 10 Emin, saying that he
would wait for him at Urenia for ten
days, and would start on the eleventh
day with the goods he left there, and
Mr., Bonny, the last OF the five Euro
peanS, left with him, Barthelot having
been killed at Urenia, JamiEon having
died at Bongala on August 20, and Ward
and Roote having returned To Europe,
To decide Tippoo lib to accompany him,
he dwelt upon the great quantity Of
ivory he could bring 6aCk-all that In
Emin Pasha's possession. l do not
really think Emin PashR would have
given Tppoo his ivory, for Tppoo had
nothing with which to pay for 1t. II

part, who had one OF two objects In
view for which he had need Of Tippoo,
and he thus tried to persuade him.
Tippoo lib must have understood
this, for he did not accompany Stanley,
but like a practical man and one who
wished to make something out Of STAN
ley's journey, he caused the explorer to
be followed at O distance by one Of his
devoted lleutenapts, Said Ben-Mo.
hamed, who will reconoitre the route,
and make raids for slaves in the new
country.
STANLEY has broken tho contract
made by Barthelot for the 400 carriers
furnished by the Arabs, and has taken
only 100 OF them with him. For the rest
the men Of Emin Pasha must suffice.
On September Stanley started on his
journey to regain Emin Pasha. He had
not told his plans, except that he will
not return by way OF the Congo. Major
Barthelot would have come back along
the Monte N'zige. Will Stanley take
that route2"
