NEW York, March GA private letter
from Bongalo, on the Congo, under date
OF November o, 1883, gives some iniorma-
ton about Henry NJ. Stanley which has
not yet appeared in any of the published
accounts OF his movements. Stanley, it
says, arrived at Urenia on August IL,
with the carrier furnished by Emin Pasha.
The next day the four white men who
had accompanied him also reached that
point. Stanley wrote letter to Tippoo
Tip, telling him in effect, that he came
from Albert Nyanza, where he joined
Emin Pasha. He found everything in
good condition there, Emin Pasha. and
Cassau in good health, and all their peo-
pie well. They were well provided with
supplies, including wines, ETC., and more
than 1000 head OF fat cattle, MS we'll 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 limited Ia
three negroes. He did not say how long
the journey TO the lake had taken. He
entreated nppoo lib TO accompany him
back TO Emin, saying that he would wait
for him at Urenia ten DAYS, and would
start on the eleventh day with the goods
he left there and NJ. Bonay, the last OF the
five Europeans left with him, Barthelot
having been killed at Urenia; Jamison
having died at Bingalo on August 20, and
Ward and Soote having returned to
Europe.

Emin Pasha's possession. do not really

which to pay for IL, II was probably au

journey, he caused the explorer TO be fol.

lieutenants. Said Ben-Mohed, who will re-

Stanley has broken the contract made
by Barthelot for the 400 carriers fur
nished by the Arabs and has taken only
100 with him. For the rest the men Of
Emin Pasha must suffice. On September
Stanley started on his journey to rejoir
Emin Pasha. What will he do afterwardi
