A Private Letter from BongalO, Giving In
formation Up to the 9Th of November.
NEW YORK, March GA private letter
from Bongalo, on the Congo, gives, under
date of Nov. 5. 1885, some information about
Henry NJ. Stanley which has not yet APP
peared in any of the published accounts Of
his movements. Stanley" it says, ''ar-
rived at Urenia on Aug. II. with the car
riers furnished him by Emin Pasha. The
next day the four white men who had ac-
companied him also reached that point.
Stanley wrote a letter to Tippoo lib, telling
him, in effect, that he came from Albert Ny
ANA, where he joined Emin Pasha. He
found everything in good condition there
-Emin Pasha and Casati in good health,
and all their people well. They were we'll
provided with supplies, including wines.
etc, and more than a thousand head of fat
cattle, as well as sheep, goats and chickens
in abundance. His return voyage had been
effected in eighty-two days. His company
was in good health, and his losses were lim-
tied to three negroes. He did not say how long
the journey to the lake had taken. He en-
treated TippOO lib to accompany hin back
to Emin. saying that he would wait for him
at Crenia for ten days and would start on
the eleventh day. with the goods he left
there and N. Bonny, the last of the five
Europeans left with him-BarttelOt having
been killed at Crenia, JamisOn having died
at BingalO on Aug. 20 and Ward and SOOte
having returned to Europe. To induce
TippOO lib 10 accompany him, he dwelt
upon the great quantity of ivory he could
bring back-all that was in Emln PashaIS
possession. do not really think Emin Pasha
would have given TippOo his ivory, for
Tippoo had nothing with which to pay for
it. 1t was probably an artifice on Stanley's
part, who had one of two objects IN view
for which he had need of Tippoo's aid. and
he thus tried to persuade him. Iippoo. lib
mast have understood this, for he did not
accompany Stanley, but, Xix a practical
man. and one who wished to make some
thing out of Stanley's journey, he
caused the explorer to be followed at
a distance by one of his devot-
ed lieutenants, Said Ben Mohed, who
will reconnoitre the route and make
raids for slaves in the new country. Stan
Barttelot 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 Sept. l Stanley
started on his journey to rejoin Emin Pa
sha. What will he do afterward! He has
not told his plans, except that he will not
return by way of the Congo. Maj. Bartte-
lot would have come back along with
Monte N'Ziege. Will Stanley take that
route! On Sept. IA Stanley..s courier, bound
