a Private Letter GIVING Information About
the African Explorer.
NEW YORK, March Ga private letter from
Bongalo, the Congo, gives, under date of Nov.
5, 1883, some information about Henry NJ. Stan
ley, which has not yet appeared in any of the
published accounts of his movements
Stanley" it says, ARRIVED at Urenia on
Aug. Il, with the carriers furnished by Emin
Pasha. The next day the four white men
who had accompanied him also reached that
point Stanley wrote letter to Tlppo lib,
telling him, in effect, that he came from Albert
Nyanza, where he joined Emn Pasha. He
found everything in good condition there,
EmIn Pasha and Casati in good health and all
their people well. They were well provided
with supplies, including wines, etc, and more
than a thousand head of cattle, as well as
sheep, goats and chickens in abundance. His
return voyage had been effected in eighty-two
days. His company in good health and
his losses were limited to three negroes. He
did not say how long the journey to the lake
had taken.
Gle entreated Tippoo lib to accompany him
back 10 Enin, 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
aud NJ. Bonny, the last OF the five Europeans
lett with him (BarthelOt having been killed at
Urenia; Jamison having died at BinalO On
Aug. 20, and Ward and SOote having returned
to Europe.)
ITO decide Tppoo Tib to accompany him he
dwelt upon the great quantity of ivory he
could bring back-all that in Emin Pasha's
possession. do not really think Emin Pasha
would have gwen Tippoo his ivory, for Tppoo
had nothing with which to pay for it. 1t was
probably an arti6ce on Stanley's part, who had
one of two objects in view for which be had
need of TippOO's aid and he thus tried to per-
suade him. Tippoo lib must have understood
this, for he did not accompany Stanley, but
like practical man and one who wished 10
make something out of SANKEY'S Journey, he
caused the explorer TO be followed at distance
by one OF his devoted lieutenants, Said-Ben-
Mohed, who will reconnoitre the route and
make raids for slaves in the new country.
STANLEY has broken the 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 Sept. l. Stanley started on his
journey to reion Emin Pasha. What will he
do afterward? He has not told his plans, ex-
cept that he will not return by the way of the
Congo. Maj. Barthelot would have come back
along with Monte N'Ziege. Will Stanley take
that route?
"On Sept IA, SANKEY'S courier, bound for
Europe arrived at Tall, commended to the
protection of the resident OF the Congo state,
but without any kind OF a message. Now this
courier (whO bears only one letter addressed
to NJ. Brown has been detained at Tall by an
unfortunate illness. The resident, who is ex-
pecting a steamer from day to day has not
deemed it proper to allow this correspondence
to be brought here by the boat which brought
us NJ. Balit, ir., secretary of TippOO Tib and
just now Stanley is here, and is going down
to Kintamo. So Stanley's correspondence can
not reach us until the arrival of the next
steamer
