London, Dec. 20.-Sir Francis de Winton has mgde
public long letter written to him by Mr. STANLEY,
dated osalala, August 81. In It Mr. Stanley objets
very strongly to the tone Of a batch Of newspaper
cuttings he had received, which commented with an
utter lack Of commonsense and total disregard of
accuracy upon his expedition He dwells upon Emih S
indecision. which cost him a journey otherwise I'M
necessary OF 300 miles for Barttelot lie justifes
the payment of salary Of $50 sterling per month to
Tippo Tib for avertng desolating
war, and declares that if both parties are
honest in the maintenance of their agree
ments peace may continue for an indefinite period.
Mr. Stanley rebukes those persons in England WHO
had lost faith in his steadfastness Of purpose 10
such degree as TO give credit that he was
marching in the direction Of KhartOum. lie dwells at
much length upon the Of Barttelot and removes
the impression produced by previous ellers rejecting
upon the Majors conduct. He says that BartteiOt
only needed to extricate himself from his dilemma
qualities that will not be gained by long eX-
perience In Africa; and eulogzes his courage ana
high qualities. He knew the Major a man OF
little forbearance and had intended to keep him with
himself but necessity compelled the change
that caused him to leave him behind
Barttelot was ignorant of the language Of the
people, and his interpreter may have been false and
occasioned the GOODNESS between the and the
Major, which was never overcome and led 10 his
death
The explorer recites in detail the instructions given
TO Major Barttelot. and finally denies with much
emphasis the alleged Congo atrocities Of the Manyema,
the cannbalism, and a story of photographng women
during execution. During the whole expedition he
executed only four men.
