 ''The war cries were terrible from hill to hill across the villages. Peo- pie gathered by hundreds from all points and war-horns and drums announced the struggle. We checked the first advance of the natives with a little skirmish and cap- tured COW, the first meat we had tasted since leaving the ocean.
 Might passed peacefully. In the morn ing we opened barley The natives were anxious to know who we were, and we were equally anXlous to glean news They said Mazamboni only held the country for Kab- barega, who was their real King. They finally accepted cloth and brass rods to show Mazamboni, and hostilities were sus- pended until morning, when Mazam boni sent word that we must be driven from the land.
 " The proclamation was greeted in the valley with deafening cheers. Their word 'kanwana' signifies peace, and .Kurwana' war. We hoped we had heard wrongly. therefore, and sent our interpreter nearer to inquire. They loudly responded sKur- wana,' and emphasized it with two arrows fired at him.
 "Our hill was between two valleys I sent forty men under Lieutenant Stairs to attack the natives in one valley and thirty under MT. Jepson into the other valley. Stairs crossed deep river in face of the natives, assaulted the first will lage and took it. The sharpshooters did ef- fective work and drove the natives back up the opposite slope until the fight became general Jepson also drove the natives in front of him. We marched straight up the valley, driving back the people and taking villages as we went. At 3p. n not a n A. tive was visible anywhere except on one small hill a mile and half west.
 During the day we had four little fights On the 18th we marched straight East and were attacked by new forces every hour until noon, when we halted for refresh ments. At D. m. we resumed our march. and fifteen minutes later l cried, sprepare for sight of Nyanzar
 'The men murmured and doubted and said: Why does Master continually talk this way2 NyanZa indeed! Is not this a plain, and can we not see the mountainsp
 But fifteen minutes later, and, after our four days march, the Albert Nyanza was below them. All came to kiss my hands in recognition of my prophecy.
 "At o'clock next morning we reached the village of kakongo, but were unable to make friends with the inhabitants They wouldn't be friendly because, having never heard of white man they feared we would scare their cattle away. They wouldn't ac- cept any presents or indeed have anything to do with us, though they were perfectly civil. They gave us water to drink, but nothing else
 'On April g note was received signed ''Dr. Emin," and dated March 26. The next day, April B, strong force took a boat to the Nyanza. On the 18th they sighted Ha- wa station the southernmost belonging to Emin Pacha, and were hospitably received by the Egyptian garrison. They were hailed as brothers.''
 Stanley then continues: April % we once again reached the bivouac ground oc- cupied by us on December l6, and at D. m of that day 1 saw the Khedive steamer sey- en miles away steaming toward us Soon after p. m. Emin Pacha and 'Signor Casata and Mir. Sepson arrived at our camp where they were heartily welcomed by us. We were together until May 25. On that day I left him."
 MT. Stanley's letter concludes as follows
