RUMoRs OF REVOLUTION.

Persistent But Unconfirmed Rumors OF
Revolution on the Island of Cuba Rife in
London and Paris-They Are Scarcely
Credited.
LONDON, Nov. 22.-Persistent rumors
are afoat in London to-day to the effect
that there is a revolution in progress in
the Island of Cuba. Dispatches from
Paris report that the rumors are cur
rent there and are exciting attention.
So far it has been impossible to
trace the rumors to any def
mite source, and the assump-
ton is that they have sprung up
through the belief that the peaceful
revolution in Brazil would be likely to
exert a powerful influence with the dis
contented republican element in Cuba.
The fact that there is a strict censor
ship of news dispatches at Havana
makes it possible for revolutionary
movement to get under way in the
island before any definite intelligence
can reach the outside world. While the
rumors are not credited, the news
agencies are receiving many inquiries
in regard to them and are making Wig
orous efforts to run them down or get
direct intelligence from Havana as to
the actual condition of affairs on the
island.

Been Discovered An Entire Family
Missing.

Have Made Discoveries Of Immense
Value.

British Consul at Zanzibar, Colonel
Evan-Smith, stating that Stanley ar

Grault and Scheinze, of the Algerian
mission.
Stanley left Mpwapwa ON November

,overy of immense value to Africa in
finding an extension of the Victoria
Nyanza to the south and west. The ut
most southerly reach of this extension
is south latitude 2 degrees, 4S minutes,
which brings the Victoria Nyanza to
point within 155 miles of Lake Tan

that he has with him $50 people. OF
these 900 belong to Emin's party, and
sixty are children. During his march
from the Victoria Nyanza the combined
party lost only eighteen of it's members.
Near Usokoma the party had four days
severe fighting with hostile natives, re-
sulting in the rout of the enemy with
many killed.
The welcome news of Stan1ey's ar
rival at Mpwapwa is received here
with feelings of satisfaction, and re-
marks of the "I-to1d-you- so'' order are
heard this morning. A de-
tailed account of Stanley's journey, to-
gether with authentic news from Emin,
is awaited with great interest.
