LETTER FROM STANLEY.

 Expedition on Reaching the Nyanza.
 LONDON, April 2-Henry M. Stanley's lets ter describes the journey between Yumbungs and Albert Nyanza. It goes much into de- tail and is very interesting.
 Mr. Stanley, after stating the orders given to Major Bartellot, goes on to describe the advance of the column. The expedition, which consisted of 359 officers and men, started from Yambunga on June 23, 1887. On the first day the expedition marched 12 miles along the river bank to Yankarde. On the approach of the column the natives set fire to their villages, and under cover of the smoke attacked the pioneers. A skirmish followed, lasting fifteen minutes. During the next six days the expedition marched in- land in an easterly direction, through a densely populated district. The natives used every art known to them to molest and inn pede the advance of the party, but although conflicts took place Stanley did not lose a man. Finally ,perceiving that the path that he had been following was taking him out of his proper course Stanley struck out toward the northeast and again reached the river on July 5. From this date until October IS he followed the left bank of the Aruwhimi.
 After seventeen days of continuous march ing the expedition halted for one days rest. On August 1, the first death occurred, the cause being dysentery. So far, for thirty four days, the course had been singularly successful. The party now entered 8 wild country. in their nine-day's march through deaths occurred. On August 13, on arriving at Airsabba the natives presented Q bold front and the party lost five men from pois- oned arrows. Lieutenant Stairs was wound- ed below the heart and suffered greatly. but he recovered. On August 31, the expedition met party of Myemas and their misfortunes began on this date. Stanley writes to avoid Arabs who would tempt his men. Within three days of this unfor- tunate meeting, twenty-six men deserted. What Stanley describes as an awful month begins September IS. Leaving the station of the Arab chief, Ugarrava, when the expe- dition numbered 263 men, having lost 66 by desertion and death, and having left 56 with ment, Kalirga Longa. The men lived on wild fruit, fungi and nuts.
 Before reaching Kilinga Longa, Stanley lost 55 men through starvation and assertion. A slave owner at Kilinga Longa named Abedsalim, did his utmost to ruin the expe- dttion, short of open hostilities. He insisted upon purchasing rifles, ammunition and clothing, so that the expedition left the sta- ton beggard. The men were absolutely naked and were so weak that they were una- bls to carry the boat. Stanley was therefore obliged SO leave the boat, together with 70 1oads of goods, at Kilinga Longa, under the care of Surgeon Parke and Captain Nelson, the latter of whom was unable to march.
 After a twelve days journey the party on November 12 reached Ibwiri. The Arab devastation, which had reached within few miles of Ibwiri, was so thorough that not 8 native hut was left standing between Ugar- rava and Ibwiri What tho Arabs did not destroy the elephants did, turning the whole region into a horrible wilderness.
 Mir. Stanley continues: Our sufferiDgs ter minated at Ibwiri. We were beyond the reach of destroyers. We were on virgin soil in populous region abounding with food. We ourselves were mere skeletons. From 2S9 persons we now numberrd 174. Several of the party seeming to have no hope of life left; halt was therefore ordered for the purpose of recuperating. Hitherto our peo. pie were skeptical of what we told them. The suffering had been so awful, the calamities so numerous and the forests so endless that they refused to believe that by and by we would see plains and cattle, the Nyanza and Emin Pachs.
 Finally" says MT. Stanley, ''we sighted the Nyanza, with Kavalli, the objective point of the expedition. Six miles off I had told the men to prepare to see the Nyanza." They murmured and doubted saying "why does the master continually talk this waya Nyanza, indeed!''
 When they saw the Nyanza elow them many came to kiss my hands.
 We afterwards approached the village of Kakongo, situated at the southwest corner of Albert lake. Three hours were spent by us in attempting to make friends, but we sig nally failed. They would not allow us to go to the lake because wa might frighten their Thny- rntn thah of brotherhood because they never heard of any good people coming from the west side of the lake. The people were civil enough but they did not want us near them We, therefore, were shown the path and fol- lowed it for miles. We camped about half 6 mile from the lake and then began to con- sider our position with the light thrown upon 1t by the conversation with the Kakongo natives. On the 18th we began 8 night march and by 10 a. m. on the 18th we had gained the creast of the plateau once more, the Kakongss natives having persisted in following us to the slope of the plateau. We had one man killed and one wounded. On January we were in Ibwiri once again.
 Lieutenant Stars with 100 men was sent to Kilinga Longa to bring the boat and goods. also sent Surgeon Parke and Captain Nell son. Out of the thirty sick men in their charge only eleven men were brought to the fort. The rest had died, or deserted. On the return of Stars with the boat I was attacked by gastritis and an abscess on the arm. After a months careful nursing by Parke l recovered and set out again for the Albert Nyanza on April 2, accompanied by Josephson and Parke. Nelson was appointed commandant of Fort Bodo In our absence with garrison of forty-three men and boys. On April 26, we arrived ir Mozambom's country again. This time, after solicitation, Mozamdom decided to make blood d-brother- hood with me. His example was followed by all the other chiefs as far as the Nyanza. Every difficulty seemed now to be removed. Food was supplied gratis.
 One day I received 8 note from Emin Pasha to effect that as there had been a native rumor that white man had been seen at the south end of the lake he had gone in 8 steamer to make ipquires, but had been unable to obtain reliable information. He begged me to remain where I was until he could communicate with me. The next day, April 23, MT. Josephson, was despatched with a strong force to take the boat to the Nyanza. On the 26th the boats crew sighted Mawa station, the south belonging to Emin Pasha. MT. Josephson was there hospitably received by the Egyptian garrison.
 The boats crew say they were embraced one by one and that they never had such at tention shown them as by these men, who hailed them as brothers.
 On August 17th we met the rear column or the 6XpeQltlOn a6 6uuAIyA. 4Aexo W65 : white man at the gate of the stockade who was, I thought, MT. Jamieson. Nearer saw it was MT. Bonney who left the medical service of the army to accompany us, and found that he was the only one there.
 After describing what wreck he found the rear column to be, Stanley complains oi the officers at Yumbunga too readily accept ing the deserters' report of his death ani sending his personal kit. medicines, etc. down the Congo, leaving him naked of neces. saries for his return to En1n.
 Stanley's letter concludes as follows: "The pasha proposed to visit Fort Bodo taking MT. Josephson with him. At For | Bodo I have left instructions to the officer I to destroy the fort and accompany the pashI | to Nyanza. I hope to meet them all agail ison>the Nyanza, as intend making shor
